Abstract

A traffic accident is an event that occurs on a highway where a motor vehicle, rider pedestrian, or other user is involved in an impact or collision that causes physical damage, injury, and or death. Based on the Central Bureau of Statistics, traffic accidents that occurred in Indonesia in 2021 were 103,645 cases. The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution of injury patterns experienced by traffic accident victims in Tangerang during the period of 2023. This study used descriptive retrospective method to identify the types of injury. The results showed that head injury (36,5%) was the most common type of injury, followed by upper extremity (25,7%). In addition, it was found that males were more frequently victimized than females, and the age group of 15-39 years had the highest prevalence of traffic accidents. This study provides important insights for authorities in designing traffic safety policies and improving emergency medical services.

Abstract

Introduction: Sudden infant death is a medical and legal issue that requires investigation involving relevant institutions. In various countries, differences in standards, resources, and systems pose challenges. Purpose: To examine the systems and methods of investigating sudden child deaths for the prevention of pediatric mortality. Methods: Databases searched included Google Search, PubMed, and Google Scholar for studies published up to 2024. The analysis applied keywords such as ‘pediatrics,’ ‘death,’ ‘investigation,’ ‘guidelines,’ and ‘system. Results: In Indonesia, the pediatric death investigation system is handled by the Ministry of Health and the Indonesian Police; however, there are limitations, including a shortage of forensic personnel and inadequate autopsy facilities. In contrast, developed countries have stricter regulations and better documentation systems. Several institutions have worked to establish international standards for child death investigations through the Inter-agency Guidelines on Child Death Review. These guidelines are essential to standardize the investigation system and create systematic reporting to prevent pediatric deaths. Conclusion: Despite standardization efforts, investigation systems remain varied between countries, depending on conditions and resources. To improve the system in Indonesia, enhanced forensic personnel and a digitalized reporting system are needed.m

Abstract

Introduction: Mechanical asphyxia due to smothering is difficult to diagnose forensically because it often leaves no distinctive signs. Unlike strangulation or hanging, smothering using soft materials generally leaves no external traces, making the mechanism of death difficult to identify. Furthermore, epidemiological data on cerebral vascular rupture due to asphyxia are still limited. This case report aims to add to the forensic literature on variations in asphyxial deaths and strengthen the diagnosis of the cause of sudden death. Case Illustration: A 46-year-old woman was found in a supine position. External examination revealed bruising on the bridge of the nose, philtrum, lower lip, left shoulder blade, inner left upper arm, outer right thigh, and abrasions on the upper lip and left side of the neck caused by blunt force. Internal examination revealed two blood seepage sites in the neck muscles, an enlarged heart, dilated cerebral and cerebellar vessels, and haemorrhage in the posterior brainstem. Discussion: Autopsy findings indicated rupture of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), suspected to be triggered by asphyxia. Asphyxia does not always cause death through direct hypoxia, but also through increased intracranial pressure that triggers cerebral blood vessel rupture. This mechanism can be caused by airway obstruction or cerebral venous occlusion. Conclusion: AICA rupture due to asphyxia is a rare phenomenon. Mechanical asphyxia due to smothering requires attention because it can cause hypoxia, decreased consciousness, and even death. This report serves as an important forensic reference in the diagnosis of sudden death due to asphyxia.
