[Sudden unexpected death in rare cervico-occipital anomalies and inadequate trauma].

Two cases of sudden unexpected death due to rare cervico-occipital dysplasia and inadequate trauma are presented, and the problems of examination are shown. At postmortem examination in equivalent cases, precise investigation of anamnesis and trauma as well as removal and maceration of the upper cervical vertebral column is indicated.

Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin is not affected by serum separators.

We studied the possible effects on serum carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) determination by a CDTect (Pharmacia) method of serum isolation in four different types of blood-collection tubes, namely: (1) glass tubes (glass Vacutainer tubes with no additive); (2) S-Monovette Neutral tubes (plastic tubes with no additive); (3) S-Monovette Serum tubes (plastic tubes with kaolin-coated plastic granulate coagulation accelerator); and (4) S-Monovette Serum/Gel tubes (plastic tubes with kaolin-coated plastic granulate and a polymerized acrylamide resin). Using Passing and Bablok regression analysis, we did not observe significant differences in CDT concentrations determined in 58 serum samples using any of these four blood-collection systems.

[Fatal hemorrhage from an isolated scalp injury].

By means of 3 casuistics it is illustrated, that fatal bleeding from a single scalp injury can occur under special preconditions. Beside signs of massive loss of blood at the place of discovery and on the corpse, particularly chronic and acute alcohol intoxication with presumably impaired coagulation and prospective anemic history play a dominant role in these courses.
