Fatal cyclobenzaprine overdose with postmortem values. Spiller HA, Cutino L . 2003;48(4): 883-884.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Postmortem blood concentrations were cyclobenzaprine 0.96 mg/L and diazepam 0.3 mg/L. Case 2: a 37-year-old male was found in full arrest by a family member after an intentional ingestion of cyclobenzaprine. Postmortem blood concentrations were cyclobenzaprine 0.8 mg/L and ethanol 0.174 gm/dL. The concentrations of diazepam and ethanol reported in these two patients were not found in quantities usually associated with a fatal outcome, suggesting that the cyclobenzaprine was the primary cause of the fatality. journalsip.astm.org /jofs/PAGES/4258.htm   (178 words)

2003 MLS Project - James Tang   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Postmortem blood and liver samples can be used to estimate the degree of intoxication and establish a cause of death. Linear regression with postmortem blood levels as the dependent variable and postmortem liver levels as the independent variable showed a correlation coefficient (r) > 0.800 for 6 of the 8 graphs (p < 0.000). The relationship between postmortem blood and liver drug concentration was present, however, the prediction model needs to be refined before practical application can occur. www.ualberta.ca /~medlabsc/2003-abstracts/tang.html   (180 words)

Postmortem changes and pharmacokinetics: review of the literature and case report -- Shepherd et al. The impact of these postmortem events on the distribution and pharmacokinetic behavior of drugs is described. Postmortem drug concentrations may not be a true reflection of antemortem concentrations and as a result, wrong conclusions could be made about the cause of death. www.theannals.com /cgi/content/abstract/26/4/510   (298 words)

Metallian.com - Postmortem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) I love receiving music from bands like Postmortem which have as much a profile in Canada as the Israeli pork industry. No Matter, what Morbid records describes as "one of the best know German Death/Thrash bands" is out with CD number three and after several listens it seems that, aside from that "known" part, the label's description is fair and apt. With a slight course correction (hardly the word, but...), the band is shipping five tracks here; two being industrial remixes of older tunes, one being a re-mastered version and also featuring two previously unheard tracks in the form of Create to Fear and Lethal Devil. www.metallian.com /postmortema.htm   (308 words)

Postmortem Portrait m was seen as a national trait.19 A postmortem photograph, which represented the loss of an individual, had a value beyond that of an ordinary portrait. Whatever the reason for the high fees, the commissioning of a postmortem photograph often involved an economic sacrifice. Postmortem photography has one precedent in a centuries-old tradition of mourning portraiture in painting. www.essaysworld.com /viewpapers/9434-Postmortem_Portrait.html   (239 words)

Geesink and Koohmaraie, September 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Despite the inclusion of glycerol in the buffers, a decrease in μ-calpain activity was observed during postmortem storage of muscle, even though the autolyzed enzyme was readily detectable by Western blotting in muscle extracts and column eluates. The results of the present study indicate that determination of μ-calpain activity using previously described standard chromatography procedures does not reflect the activity of μ-calpain after it is autolyzed to its 76-kDa form. Thus, the rate and extent of postmortem proteolysis, and the resulting tenderization, seem to be limited by instability of autolyzed μ-calpain and inhibition of μ-calpain activity by calpastatin. www.asas.org /jas/abs/2000/sep2336.htm   (327 words)

The Postmortem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) The postmortem is an ''official'' meeting to discuss what happened at an incident. This is not to imply that all a postmortem is, is a gripe session, it is not.

Conducting a Project Postmortem by Steve Pavlina A postmortem is a procedure whereby you summarize a project's history and analyze its positive and negative aspects. The goal of a postmortem is to draw meaningful conclusions to help you learn from your past successes and failures. One final benefit of conducting a postmortem is that you gain a very gratifying sense of closure because you actually document all the personal growth you've experienced as a result of completing the project. www.dexterity.com /articles/postmortem.htm   (1078 words)

Press Release - Newcastle University Parents who have lost a baby view the postmortem examination as a useful and necessary tool in helping to discover the reasons why their baby died, finds a Newcastle University study published in this week's British Medical Journal. Parents view the postmortem examination as a useful and necessary tool in helping to discover the reasons why their baby died, say the authors. All medical staff involved in consent for postmortem examinations should be fully trained in how to ask for parental consent, the postmortem examination procedure, and how to explain the findings. www.newcastle.ac.uk /press.office/press.release/content.phtml?ref=1018023144   (277 words)

Tissue Distribution of Mirtazapine (Remeron¨) in Postmortem Cases   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) There are published cases of mirtazapine’s detection as an incidental finding in postmortem cases; however, case reports with associated tissue concentrations and interpretations are not available. This report documents the tissue distribution of mirtazapine in eight postmortem cases in which it was identified but did not contribute to the cause or manner of death. In each case, the mirtazapine concentration in heart blood was approximately equal to that of peripheral blood, indicating that postmortem redistribution was not a factor in evaluating postmortem blood concentrations in these cases. www.jatox.com /abstracts/1999/october/541-moore.htm   (210 words)

GEESINK AND KOOHMARAIE, October 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) ABSTRACT To improve our understanding of the regulation of μ-calpain activity in situ during postmortem storage of muscle, the effect of different calpastatin levels on proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins by μ-calpain in a system closely mimicking postmortem conditions was studied. A series of incubations of autolyzed μ-calpain revealed that the autolyzed form of this enzyme is unstable at an ionic strength observed in postmortem muscle. Inhibition of μ-calpain activity by calpastatin and instability of autolyzed μ-calpain probably limit the rate and extent of postmortem proteolysis and, as a result, meat tenderization. www.asas.org /jas/abs/1999/oct2685.htm   (253 words)

SOFT/TIAFT 98 - Thirty Case Studies Involving Postmortem Tissue Distributions of Olanzapine (Zyprexa®)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, 1104 North Mission Road, Los Angeles, CA 90033, U.S.A. Olanzapine, introduced onto the market in late 1996, is a thienobenzodiazepine derivative which displays efficacy in patients with schizophrenia and related psychoses. The analysis of olanzapine from postmortem specimens (2 ml sample size) consisted of an n-butylchloride basic extraction procedure with screening and quantitation on a GC/NPD. Linearity was achieved from 0.025 mg/L to 3.0 mg/L with the limit of quantitation being 0.01 mg/L. Confirmation of olanzapine was performed on a GC/MS by comparison with an pure analytical standard. www.tiaft.org /tiaft98/thu/p/t_p_8.html   (242 words)

POSTMORTEM CHANGE IN HUMAN AND ANIMAL REMAINS: A Systematic Approach   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) POSTMORTEM CHANGE IN HUMAN AND ANIMAL REMAINS: A Systematic Approach provides a unique, synthetic treatment of postmortem change presented in a systematic fashion with attention to the relative chronologies of both physical and cultural factors that influence human and animal remains. In addition to discussing transformation of skeletal remains (as is the focus of most taphonomic studies in anthropology and archaeology), comprehensive treatment is given to changes in soft tissue remains, as well as to conditions under which such remains may be preserved postmortem. More and more anthropologists and forensic scientists are called upon to systematically interpret postmortem changes "from beginning to end," cutting across various fields of study. www.ccthomas.com /details.cfm?P_ISBN=0398057478   (291 words)

Gamasutra - Features - "Postmortem: DreamWorks Interactive’s Trespasser" [05.14.99] Due to space restrictions in the magazine, we were forced to shorten it somewhat. The parallels between the Trespasser project and Hammond’s cloning project were numerous: ambitious beginnings, years of arduous labor, and the eventual tragic ending. Unfortunately, there is a difference between having a plan and successfully executing it, and the product that we eventually shipped was as disappointing to us as it was to the great majority of game players and game critics. www.gamasutra.com /features/19990514/trespasser_01.htm   (901 words)

vgn-ext-hidden_PubMed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Studies of neurobiological disorders in the brain, including schizophrenia, rely on the use of postmortem brain tissues, in which an understanding of the effects of various pre- and postmortem variables on gene expression is critical. In the present study, we show that postmortem brain pH is similar across different brain regions. The predictive value of brain pH in an independent sample set was also greater than the disease, demonstrating that pH represents one of the most important control parameters in human postmortem gene expression studies in schizophrenia. www.asco.org /portal/site/ASCO/menuitem.a3fb42726842a82627c4c291ee37a01d/?vgnextoid=d70b3608f9958010VgnVCM100000f2730ad1RCRD&index=n&pmid=16843448   (228 words)
