Introducción: la declaración de voluntades anticipadas (DVA) es un documento que contiene las preferencias sobre los cuidados y tratamientos sanitarios que se desea recibir cuando no se tenga capacidad para expresarlos.Objetivo: estudiar el contenido de las DVA inscritas en la sede del Registro de Voluntades Anticipadas del Hospital Universitario P...
INTRODUCTION
The Statement of Advance Directives (SAD) is a written document that contains the preferences for health care and treatments desired to receive when the capacity to express is lost.
OBJECTIVE
To study the content of SAD registered in the office of Register of Advance Directives of the Hospital Universitario Puerta del Mar regarding Sp...
El caso que traemos hoy a colación es el de un varón de 45 años de edad, que es encontrado muerto en su domicilio, refiriendo los vecinos que había sufrido una agresión 3 días antes. La inspección reveló algunas lesiones leves en la cabeza y los miembros, no mostrando el abdomen signos de violencia. La elasticidad de las paredes abdominales permite...
The aim of our study was to analyse several serum biochemical markers in order to evaluate the discriminant capacity of trace elements individually and jointly in drowning (seawater drowning and freshwater drowning) and their correlation with age, sex, postmortem interval, time in water and concentrations of the trace elements in the drowning mediu...
The danger of incised wounds is determined by their position and the underlying vital structures, and the ones localized in the torax are more serius. Cervical lesions get worse vital pronostic when they affect great vessels and the airway. This could result in the disability of the nerves which flow in this area. In the next article, we present on...

In previous numbers of our magazine one has treated, with profusion of images, the asphyxiations mechanics; so much in their macroscopic aspect, as microscopic. Today we show a hanging, atypical up to scanty time ago in our way, the "autoerotic asphyxiation". The diagnosis of the nature of the death (accidental, suicidal and enclosed killer) has be...

La variabilidad en los orificios de entrada y salida por arma de fuego depende de la distancia, tipo de arma y región anatómica, por lo que puede presentar una morfología muy variada; es por ello que, aunque ya se han publicado varias imágenes de suicidio por otro tipo de armas, hoy aportamos un caso de suicidio típico por arma corta, deteniéndonos...
The variability in the entrance and exit wound produced by firearms, depends on the distance, type of weapon and anatomical region, so it can present a very different morphology, which is the reason why, that although several pictures of suicide by other weapons have been published, today we provide a typical case of suicide by a short barrelled gu...
The histopathological alterations that permit the diagnosis of death by asphyxia are very unspecific, although pulmonary alterations are of great importance in this respect. The postmortem diagnosis of drowning, particularly, continues to be one of the most difficult in forensic pathology. The aim of this study is to jointly evaluate microscopic fi...
Trace element determination can be applied in forensic medicine to diagnose the cause of death. Drowning is the second leading cause of death from unintentional injury. Despite the many diagnostic methods used, the post-mortem diagnosis of drowning continues to be one of the most difficult in forensic pathology. Strontium is a highly sensitive mark...
Since in 1879 Jex-Blake described the first death by electrocution have published diverse articles on the subject. In this magazine have been to images of the electrical mark of Jenillek and burns in cases of death caused by electricity; nevertheless, cases have not been exposed that describe the deficiencies after an electrical accident. In this n...

Several authors recommend to perform a toxicological analysis in practically every forensic autopsy, specifically when the macroscopical examination does not reveal sufficiently the cause of death. The absence of pathognomonic findings in the majority of poisonings support this recommendation. However; in some cases autopsy findings are indicative...
Numerosos autores recomiendan la realización de análisis toxicológico, prácticamente en todos los casos forenses, especialmente, cuando tras el examen macroscópico no aparece suficientemente aclarada la causa de la muerte. La ausencia de lesiones patognomónicas en la mayoría de las intoxicaciones avalan la recomendación anterior; sin embargo, en al...
Throat cut is the incise wound that most frequently causes mortal injuries; nevertheless is the less common in our means. The main problem of throat cut in forensic setting is de differential diagnosis between suicide and homicide. The direction, depth, site and number of the injuries have particular importance in helping us to recognize the ethiol...

The finding of a corpse in water always raise doubts for a proper diagnosis: Are we before a corpse thrown or fallen into the water? Was the death due to causes different from drowning, including naturals?. It is a true death by drowning?. The use of complementary examinations in the diagnosis of drowning has undergone diverse ups and downs. The bi...
A rare case of suicide in which the victim had been lying along the railway track in a supine position and with extended extremities is described. The wheels of a train caused longitudinal hemisection with complete evisceration. Epidemiological data on train suicides are given and the relationship between this method of suicide and mental illnesses...
Death due to submersion is of great interest from the medical-legal point of view, given the increase in nautical activity among children and adults alike over the past number of years. However, the lack of reliable statistical data concerning the impact of this specific form of death in our country must be emphasized. These are the circumstances t...
The results of a study of Inter-Alpha-Trypsin Inhibitor (ITI) polymorphism in 281 blood samples are reported in this paper. These samples were taken from healthy individuals of both sexes, unrelated and resident in the Province of Cadiz. The frequency of ITI*1 was 0.617 and of ITI*2 was 0.383. The probability of exclusion in paternity testing was 0...
Gas chromatography with selective NPD and two fused-silica capillary columns of different polarity have been used for detection and confirmation in water of Trichlorfon, Phorate, Dimethoate, Parathion-methyl, Parathion and Chlorpyrifos. Likewise, liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction with octadecyl silica cartridges were compared for...
This paper is a study of the precision of estimating the time since death comparing the equations developed by different authors. Our aim is to determine with the maximum degree of accuracy the exact time of death of the individual. We consider that the study has been fully justified by the observed differences in the results obtained from the diff...
The genetic polymorphism of group-specific component (GC) was analysed in a sample of 443 healthy unrelated subjects of both sexes resident in the province of Cádiz (Southern Spain). Isoelectric focusing was carried out in polyacrylamide gels followed by staining with coomassie blue R 250. The estimated gene frequencies were as follows: GC*1S = 0.6...
Galactose-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) and esterase D (EsD) phenotypes were determined by isoelectric focusing in ultrathin-layer polyacrylamide gel (PAGIF) for 406 healthy subjects randomly chosen and residing in the province of Cádiz, in Southern Spain. The following gene frequencies were observed: for GALT, GALT1 = 0.952 970 3 and GALT2 =...
In this work, the authors report a plasminogen (PLG) system genetic-population study in a sample of 378 healthy subjects, of both sexes and unrelated, all resident in the province of Cádiz in Southern Spain. In this study, the PLG types were determined by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels (PAGIF), followed by staining with Coomassie blue....
The genetic polymorphism of transferrin (Tf) was studied in a sample of 385 healthy unrelated subjects of both sexes resident in the province of Cádiz (southern Spain). Isoelectric focusing was carried out in polyacrylamide gels, followed by staining with Coomassie Blue R250. The gene frequencies obtained were as follows: Tf C1, 0.7922; Tf C2, 0.18...
Part I. Cocaine-Lidocaine Mixtures
A rapid procedure based on second-derivative UV spectrophotometry is proposed for the simultaneous determination of cocaine and lidocaine. The optimum magnitudes are chosen in terms of response linearity, sensitivity, relative percent error, relative recovery data, and reproducibility.
Part II. Cocaine-Procaine M...
