Observational Case Series: An Algorithm Incorporating Multidetector Computed Tomography in the Medicolegal Investigation of Human Remains after a Natural Disaster
An algorithm incorporating multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), digital radiographs, and external examination was used to triage cases for noninvasive or complete autopsy after a natural…
The Role of Mobile Computed Tomography in Mass Fatality Incidents
TLDR
It is proposed that the adoption of a single modality of mobile MDCT could replace the current use of multiple radiological sources within a mass fatality mortuary.
Building Collapse and Human Deaths Resulting from the Chi-Chi Earthquake in Taiwan, September 1999
TLDR
It is suggested that improvements in earthquake-resistant building design and construction, as well as improved medical rescue for the elderly, could reduce the level of exposure to earthquake hazards.
Epidemiologic Assessment of Mortality, Building Collapse Pattern, and Medical Response after the 1992 Earthquake in Turkey
TLDR
During an earthquake, MUMBs with soft ground floor construction are highly lethal, especially for occupants on the ground floor, suggesting that this building type is inappropriate for areas of seismic risk.
Seismic, structural, and individual factors associated with earthquake related injury
TLDR
It was found that individual, building, and seismic characteristics were independently predictive of increased injury risk and prevention and preparedness efforts should focus on each as potential points of intervention.
Investigation of Italy's deadliest building collapse: forensic aspects of a mass disaster.
TLDR
The investigation of the 1999 collapse of an apartment building in Foggia, Italy, found that the victims were recovered in the rubble of the building, and five people were unaccounted for.
Deaths and injuries due to the earthquake in Armenia: a cohort approach.
TLDR
Considering that most of the high rise buildings destroyed in this earthquake were built using standard techniques, the most effective preventive effort for this disaster would have been appropriate structural approaches prior to the earthquake.
Autopsy findings from 111 deaths in the 1999 Athens earthquake as a basis for auditing the emergency response
The aim of the study was to assess the emergency response to an earthquake.
Lethal injuries following building collapse: comparison between autopsy and radiographic findings
TLDR
Conventional radiography allows for the overall assessment of skeletal injuries and should be considered inadequate if the potential of the modern software tools available on current computed tomography and magnetic resonance images is considered.
A multidisciplinary approach to the investigation of a collapsed building.
TLDR
A team of forensic pathologists and engineers was appointed to investigate the causes of death and of the collapse in southern Italian location, and a complete autopsy was performed in every case, along with radiologic assessment and toxicological analysis.
