Trace elements play an important and complex role in the human metabolism and, although present in only minute concentrations, can be either beneficial or detrimental to health. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the trace elements from human teeth are performed using various methods. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (or mass spectroscopy) (ICP-AES, MS) are the most popular methods for trace element analysis Previous studies have set the framework for developing methods aimed at elemental analysis from bones and teeth but there are areas in which the field still needs to progress. Research must be undertaken to expand the techniques to include more precision, non-destructiveness and accuracy and high detection limit, including additional human bones and teeth, non-human bones and teeth, non-skeletal materials, and to trace present and past life behaviours like migration pattern, nutrition status and occupational or environmental exposure, human provenance and reconstruction of migration pathways as well substance abuse in human skeletal remains and in living beings.

The NBOMes are classified as new psychoactive substances and have recently become popular as drugs of abuse, being associated with several intoxication cases and even deaths, leading to its ban in several countries. Until now, the most widely used analytical instrument among forensic laboratories in Brazil is GC-MS. In this study, this instrumentation was employed for routine analyzes of twenty blotter paper seizure by Brazilian Federal Police (BFP) in the southernmost state of the country. However, to acquire more information about these samples, LC-QTOF/MS was used as a supplementary analysis to determinate degradation products, metabolites and unknown compounds. The GC-MS analysis detected only 25B-NBOMe, while the LC-QTOF/MS analysis detected 25B-NBOMe, 2C-B and MDMA. The compounds found in these analyzes are quite different from that found 194 Brazilian Journal of Forensic Sciences, Medical Law and Bioethics 7(3):193-204 (2018) C. A. Y. Wayhs et al. in the national profile of seizures by BFP, suggesting that another rout or supplier act in this region. For research and drug intelligence purposes the use of more versatile, sensitive and specific analytical tool provides a greater number of information that could be employed as a valuable strategy in the drug trafficking combat.
nhomes被归类为新的精神活性物质，最近作为滥用药物流行起来，与几起中毒案件甚至死亡有关，导致若干国家禁止使用nhomes。到目前为止，巴西法医实验室中使用最广泛的分析仪器是GC-MS。在这项研究中，该仪器被用于巴西联邦警察(BFP)在该国最南部州查获的20张吸墨纸的常规分析。然而，为了获得更多关于这些样品的信息，我们使用LC-QTOF/MS作为补充分析来确定降解产物、代谢物和未知化合物。GC-MS分析仅检测到25B-NBOMe, LC-QTOF/MS分析检测到25B-NBOMe、2C-B和MDMA。在这些分析中发现的化合物与在巴西法医学、医学法律和生物伦理学杂志7(3):193-204(2018)中发现的化合物完全不同。C. A. Y. Wayhs等人在BFP缉获的全国概况中发现的化合物表明，该地区有另一个组织或供应商在行动。在研究和毒品情报方面，使用更通用、更敏感和更具体的分析工具可提供更多的信息，这些信息可作为打击毒品贩运的宝贵战略加以利用。

The disappeared or invisible inks are fluids used to for secret writing. These types of inks are revealed by heat, chemical reaction and UV light. Disappearing inks are acid base indicators showing different colours at different pH. Writing with this type of ink disappears after about 65 h. These inks could be used for forging the documents such as agreements, cheques, property documents and other important documents. Many destructive and nondestructive methods are available for forensic decipherment of these disappeared writing. In present communication, a simple nondestructive method is applied for decipherment of disappeared signatures on share transfer agreement and other related documents.

A Medicina Legal tem grande importância no processo de identificacao humana, principalmente quando os especialistas da area recebem para analise apenas a porcao cefalica do corpo. O objetivo deste estudo e verificar o dimorfismo sexual e a predicao da idade atraves de mensuracoes em ossos occipitais de crânios secos de adultos. Os autores estudaram uma amostra de 149 crânios secos, sendo 90 masculinos e 59 femininos, que pertenceram a individuos com idade acima de 20 anos, e com sexo e idade conhecidos com total seguranca. Foram realizadas as seguintes mensuracoes: distância entre os forames condilares (ifc); distância entre o forame condilar direito e o basio (fcd-b); distância entre o forame condilar esquerdo e o basio (fce-b), alem de uma area triangular formada por estas medidas lineares (atz). Todas as variaveis passaram por uma analise de variância a fim de se testar a existencia de efeito do sexo, alem de que sua normalidade residual foi avaliada pelos coeficientes de assimetria, de curtose e pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilk. De acordo com a analise estatistica, houve indice de acerto de 69,6% por regressao logistica.

The hermeneutic-dialectical analysis is a method that a nursing researcher uses consciously or unconsciously during the process of qualitative data analysis. This method begins as a proposal by Jurgen Habermas in his dialogue with Gadamer in order to show him that the universality of hermeneutics is in reason when the subject is capable of criticizing tradition and authority with an overview to transform reality. In isolation, the concept of hermeneutics has suffered a semantic metamorphosis in historical events; being an art or theory in explaining, translating or interpreting biblical, philosophical and legal texts, until it becomes a philosophical school characterized by the idea: “Truth is the fruit of interpretation. Alternatively, dialectic considers the art of conversation, dialogue, difference, opposition, discrepancy, controversy or argumentation. Dialectic is a branch of philosophy that confirms conflict between two judgments, generating these a final product named the resulting process. Because of this, when considering the advantages and disadvantages of both methods, Habermas remarks that his proposal of Hermeneutic-Dialectic analysis seeks the interpretation of hermeneutics with the critical application of dialectic, that within the qualitative data analysis in nursing, can be used to discover resemblances, inconsistencies, as well as being interpretative and critical in generating knowledge inside the nursing profession.

Sexual violence is present throughout the world, affects both sexes and occurs in all cultures and social classes. Women are the main victims of sexual abuse (SA), considered a major public health problem. In cases of SA, the medical examiner has the role of searching for objective medical evidence, in addition to participating in the integrated network of victim care. The objective of this research was to analyze the forensic reports of SA in a specific geographic context, to better understand the characteristics of the victims and the forensic findings. The forensic reports of SA victims who were 18 years of age or older examined in Ribeirao das Neves Institute of Forensic Medicine between 2015 and 2016 were analyzed. All of them were female, totaling 11.6 % of the 242 forensic reports of SA completed in the period. The average age was 28 years, vaginal intercourse was the most common practice and in half the cases the abuse was committed by strangers. Most had no genital lesions and none had anal lesions. There were extragenital lesions in half of the cases. In most reports the recent occurrence of vaginal intercourse could not be demonstrated. These data add epidemiological information for better understanding the profile of the SA adult victim, and may contribute to the establishment of possible intervention and prevention measures.
性暴力在世界各地都存在，影响到两性，发生在所有文化和社会阶层。妇女是性虐待的主要受害者，性虐待被认为是一个重大的公共卫生问题。在意外伤害案件中，法医除了参与受害者护理的综合网络外，还有寻找客观医学证据的作用。本研究的目的是分析特定地理背景下SA的法医报告，以更好地了解受害者的特征和法医调查结果。分析了2015年至2016年在Ribeirao das Neves法医研究所检查的18岁及以上SA受害者的法医报告。在此期间完成的242份SA法医报告中，全部为女性，占11.6%。他们的平均年龄是28岁，阴道性交是最常见的行为，其中一半的虐待是由陌生人实施的。大多数患者没有生殖器病变，也没有肛门病变。一半的病例有外阴病变。在大多数报告中，不能证明最近发生的阴道性交。这些数据增加了流行病学信息，有助于更好地了解SA成人受害者的概况，并可能有助于建立可能的干预和预防措施。

Female mortality presents important peculiarities in relation to the male, especially when studying the deaths due to external causes (DDEC). These are the third most important cause of death among women in Brazil. Considering the importance of DDEC for the criminal forensic sciences as well as the deficiency of national information involving necroscopic studies with these causes of death in women of reproductive age group (RAG), this research aimed to evaluate its epidemiological profile at the Forensic Medicine Institute of Belo Horizonte (FMI-BH). A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out in which the RAG women autopsied in the FMI-BH were evaluated in the period from 2006 to 2012. The 2,274 RAG autopsy reports in the period corresponded to 5.39% of the total necropsies and to 24.8 % of female autopsies performed in FMI-BH. This sample accounted for 67.8% of the total number of women victims of violent death necropsied in the same period. The mean age was 29.4 years, the majority had brown skin and 79.6% were single, widowed or legally separated. The most frequent circumstance of death was homicide (42%) and suicide the second (33%). Alcohol was found in 25.1% of the cases. In the positive cases for the toxicological examination, cocaine and marijuana were the most found substances. Together, these data better define the epidemiological profile of deaths due to external causes in women of childbearing age, contributing in the elaboration of intervention and prevention strategies.
