This experimental study showed that when handgun and assault rifle bullets penetrate fragmentation protective vests (fpv) about one third of all bullets become immediately instable. This results in a shortening of the narrow channel. The diameters of the temporary wound cavities may decrease compared to unprotected persons, but may increase with high-energy bullets. The degree of injuries is thus variable and cannot be predicted in a general manner, but it can be determined empirically for specific bullets as well as for certain types of vests.

SummaryIn 7 of 15 cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), distinct periventricular fatty metamorphosis of the neuroglia could be demonstrated by a histological staining technique. None of the six children (under 1 year of age) used as a control group whose cause of death was not SIDS showed this morphological change. Thin-layer chromatographic analysis of the lipids accumulated in the glial cells in SIDS established a high amount of esterified cholesterol whereas the content of esterified cholesterol in the control group was low. We presume that fatty metamorphosis of the neuroglia represents the morphological substrate of a metabolic disorder of the sensitive, immature glia of the periventricular white cerebral matter caused by various kinds of damage.ZusammenfassungIm Rahmen histologischer Untersuchungen wurde in 7 von 15 Fällen von SIDS eine massive fettige Metamorphose der Gliazellen des periventrikulären frontalen Marklagers vorgefunden. Eine Kontrollgruppe von 6 Kleinkindern (Alter unter 1 Jahr), die infolge eines anderen natürlichen oder gewaltsamen Todes gestorben waren, wies in keinem Fall diese morphologischen Veränderungen auf. Dünnschichtchromatographische Analysen der beim SIDS in den Gliazellen gespeicherten Lipide ergab einen hohen Anteil von Cholesterinestern, während jener in der Kontrollgruppe stets nieder war. Die fettige Gliametamorphose wird als morphologisches Substrat einer geringgradigen Schädigung unterschiedlicher Ätiologie der metabolisch besonders aktiven, noch unreifen Gliazellen der periventrikulären Marksubstanz in Erwägung gezogen.

SummaryBecause of suspected pulmonary embolism 550.000 I.U. of heparin were administered instead of 55.000 I.U. of heparin within 24 h to a 62 year old patient. The man died because of cerebral hemorrhage the following day. Autopsy findings are reported and difficulties in medical expertise are discussed.ZusammenfassungEin Patient mit Verdacht auf Lungenembolie erhielt innerhalb von 24 Std. versehentlich 550.000 I.E. (statt 55.000 I.E.) Heparin and verstarb am folgenden Tag an einer Hirnblutung. Das pathomorphologische Bild wird referiert and Schwierigkeiten der Begutachtung werden diskutiert.
