Abstract

Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death worldwide and remains a major challenge in forensic investigations due to the complexity of determining the exact cause and mechanism of death. This study aimed to analyze forensic investigation methods used to determine the cause of death in drowning cases. The research employed a qualitative descriptive literature review approach by analyzing scientific articles, forensic journals, and medical references related to drowning investigations. Data were collected through literature searches from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Portal Garuda using keywords related to forensic drowning investigations. The findings indicate that forensic investigation in drowning cases requires a comprehensive approach involving external examination, autopsy, laboratory examination, histopathology, diatom analysis, toxicology, and crime scene investigation. Typical forensic findings include foam cone, washerwoman’s hands, cutis anserina, emphysema aquosum, and the presence of foreign materials in the respiratory and digestive tracts. Diatom examination and histopathological analysis also play important roles in strengthening the diagnosis of drowning. The study concludes that an integrated forensic investigation based on scientific evidence is essential to accurately determine the cause and manner of death in drowning cases and to support medicolegal processes in Indonesia.

Abstract

Bronchopneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection characterized by inflammation of the bronchioles and alveoli caused by microbial infection. It remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly among older adults and individuals with underlying risk factors. This case journal aimed to describe the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, and management of bronchopneumonia in an adult patient. A case report method was employed using data obtained from medical records, including history taking, physical examination, laboratory investigations, radiological findings, and therapeutic evaluation during hospitalization. A 58-year-old male presented with shortness of breath, productive cough with yellowish sputum, fever, and chest pain during coughing. Physical examination revealed tachypnea, coarse crackles, increased tactile fremitus, and dullness to percussion over the right lower lung field. Laboratory investigations demonstrated leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein levels, while chest radiography showed multiple patchy infiltrates in both lower lung fields. The patient was diagnosed with bronchopneumonia and treated with antibiotics, oxygen supplementation, mucolytic therapy, and supportive management. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management contributed to clinical improvement and reduced the risk of complications associated with bronchopneumonia.
