TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - The use of impedance plethysmography in the forensic medical diagnosis of the time of death JO - Sudebno-Meditsinskaia Ekspertiza A1 - Pigolkin, Iu I. A1 - Korovin, A. A. SP - 8 EP - 12 VL - 41 IS - 6 N2 - Diagnosis of the time of death (DTD) is a pressing problem of forensic medicine. For defining the criteria of DTD by impedance plethysmography, electric conductivity of tissues was studied in 45 corpses of male subjects aged 18-44 years who died from craniocerebral injuries. Autolytic changes were characterized by a wave-like pattern, with periods of stability replaced by necrobiotic processes. This allows recording residual activity of surviving cells and tissues in a corpse during the early postmortem period. Based on these data, a model of postmortem changes in tissues can be created for DTD.
