The latter treatment resulted in marked shrinkage of cranial dura mater, separation of dura mater from skull, and extrusion of brain fragments into the resultant enlarged epidural space through a dural defect due...

...KS Kalasinsky, Ph.D.; MM Dixon, B.S.; GA Schmunk, M.D.; SJ Kish, Ph.D. Despite the increasing incidence of illicit use of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), little information is available documenting levels of the drug in GHB fatalities. We measured GHB levels in postmortem blood, brain and hair...

... autopsied brain regions of 14 human chronic cocaine users. Only slight differences were observed in concentrations of cocaine and its metabolites amongst the examined brain areas. Although it is likely that some postmortem redistribution of the drug must have occurred, our data are consistent...

... of the immature brain can be particularly troublesome. Even if great care is taken during brain removal, one is often left with no more than a semifluid amorphous mass of softened tissue by the time the brain is ready to be fixed in formalin. We describe a method of perinatal brain removal which helps to preserve...

...FH Harvey, M.D. A new method of measuring relative brain size (relative to the skull cavity) at autopsy is presented. It is convenient and accurate and may be applied almost routinely. It consists of measuring the volume of the brain and the fluids surrounding it. These two volumes together must...
