Abstract

The hyoid bone, a single bone structure in the human neck, has significant potential in forensic identification, particularly for sex determination. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of anthropometric measurements and morphological analysis of the hyoid bone across different populations. Using the PRISMA protocol and databases such as Publish or Perish, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, 130 initial studies were identified, with 10 relevant articles selected for detailed analysis. The results reveal significant differences in the dimensions of the hyoid bone, such as length and width, between males and females in various populations. Morphometric analysis demonstrated a 73% accuracy rate in sex identification based on specific characteristics. Other studies utilizing CT-scan techniques reported high accuracy in sex differentiation, with an area under the ROC curve reaching 81.8%. This research also highlights variations in hyoid bone dimensions influenced by population characteristics, analytical methods, and measurement techniques. For instance, the average size of the hyoid bone in males tends to be larger than in females, with statistically significant differences across studies. These findings emphasize the importance of considering population-specific factors in forensic data interpretation. The study concludes that the hyoid bone is a reliable tool for sex determination, especially when methods involve morphometric measurements and CT-scan techniques. Collaboration among forensic experts, radiologists, and anthropologists is recommended to enhance the accuracy and validity of identification outcomes. A systematic approach to using the hyoid bone has the potential to strengthen modern forensic practices with robust scientific foundations.

Abstract

In forensic science, information regarding identity and time of death is crucial in the legal investigation process. Traditionally, investigators determine the time of death by studying physical, chemical, histological, biochemical, and enzymatic changes that occur in a corpse. However, results obtained through these methods are only relevant within 72 hours after death. One method that can be used for a longer time frame is the observation of insects on the corpse. This study aims to observe the pattern of insect arrival on rabbit carcasses (Oryctolagus cuniculus) with different causes of death. The treatments involved complete and incomplete blood drainage, with the carcasses placed indoors under two conditions: slaughtered and lethally anesthetized. Insect observations were conducted in the morning, noon, and afternoon. The insects that arrived were then grouped according to the decomposition stages. The results showed that insects arriving during the early death to bloating stages belonged to the order Diptera (families Muscidae, Calliphoridae, Culicidae, and Sarcophagidae) and the order Hymenoptera. Specific insects that appeared during the decay stage were from the order Diptera (families Fannidae, Drosophilidae, and Asilidae). In the post-decay stage, the insects observed were from the order Diptera (families Muscidae, Calliphoridae, and Culicidae) and the order Hymenoptera.

Abstract

Antropologi forensik adalah penerapan cabang spesifik antropologi biologi berdasarkan tulang dan anatomi manusia. Indikator kerangka perlu dipertimbangkan untuk rekonstruksi profil biologis dipengaruhi oleh sejumlah faktor, salah satunya kemungkinan penggunaan atau penyalahgunaan obat terlarang. Tidak banyak yang ditulis tentang pengaruh obat pada kerangka dari perspektif praktisi antropologi forensik. Review jurnal ini bertujuan untuk mencari informasi tentang kemungkinan efek narkoba pada tulang. Narkoba (khususnya sabu-sabu dan ganja) memang memiliki efek pada tulang. Sabu-sabu menyebabkan osteonekrosis, osteoporosis, osteopenia, kehilangan kepadatan tulang, sinusitis maksilaris, osteomielitis 'Meth mouth' (karies gigi), penyakit periodontal, kehilangan gigi, periodontitis, karies gigi, dan erosi gigi. Ganja belum secara spesifik benar, masih kemungkinan menyebabkan hilangnya kepadatan tulang, menyebabkan osteoporosis dan meningkatkan risiko patah tulang.

Abstract

Kecelakaan lalu lintas merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kematian di dunia dengan jumlah kasus yang terus meningkat setiap tahunnya. Di Indonesia, kecelakaan lalu lintas paling banyak melibatkan sepeda motor. Cedera kepala merupakan penyebab utama kematian dan kecacatan akibat kecelakaan sepeda motor. Undang-undang di Indonesia mewajibkan seluruh pengendara motor untuk menggunakan helm dengan standar nasional Indonesia (SNI). Namun, hanya 33% masyarakat yang dilaporkan selalu menggunakan helm. Sebanyak 42,4% masyarakat dilaporkan kadang-kadang menggunakan helm dan 23,9% lainnya tidak pernah menggunakan helm. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan jenis cedera kepala pada korban kecelakaan lalu lintas pengendara motor yang menggunakan dan tidak menggunakan helm yang dirawat inap di RSUP Dr. Sardjito tahun 2020-2022. Metode penelitian adalah deskriptif observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional menggunakan data rekam medis di Instalasi Catatan Medik RSUP Dr. Sardjito pada tahun 2020-2022. Berdasarkan hasil peneltian, korban cedera kepala akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas pengendara motor didominasi oleh kelompok usia dewasa (18-59 tahun) (66,7%), jenis kelamin laki-laki (68,5%), dengan status bekerja (51,4%). Korban yang menggunakan helm dan tidak menggunakan helm paling banyak mengalami cedera kepala ringan dengan proporsi yang lebih tinggi pada kelompok yang tidak menggunakan helm (22,5%). Korban yang menggunakan helm paling banyak mengalami jenis cedera kepala berupa diffuse traumatic brain injury (11,7%), sementara korban yang tidak menggunakan helm paling banyak mengalami epidural hemorrhage (19,8%). Secara deskriptif, terdapat perbedaan jenis dan tingkat keparahan cedera kepala korban kecelakaan pengendara motor yang menggunakan helm dan tidak menggunakan helm.

Abstract

Death is a natural occurrence which happens to all living things. In cases of sudden death, it is a challenge for forensic experts to exclude unnatural causes. Sudden death is majorly caused by cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, or arrythmia. Other causes of cardiovascular deaths are associated with artery rupture such as aortic dissection or coronary artery rupture. Mortality caused by blunt chest trauma is up to 15%. Most cases of coronary artery rupture are marked with cardiac tamponade which leads to death if no prompt treatment is provided. Our case was an elderly lady who was brought in with death due to a fall from a height of approximately 3 meters. Complete forensic examination later revealed a coronary artery rupture which may be caused by a rupture either in the ventricular muscle or the coronary artery itself. Death due to a cardiovascular event is common due to several reasons, especially when patients aren’t provided with prompt treatment. When compared with imaging studies, direct visualization using conventional forensic examination remains superior in evaluating organ or tissue damage.

Abstract

Background: In the event where identification isn’t achievable using DNA or fingerprint methods, teeth could act as primary identifier considering its unique anatomy. Through the comparative identification method, teeth can be utilized as a personal identifier, allowing differentiation of individuals based on their unique dental characteristics. Furthermore, the human dentition has an undeniably strong durability due to its composition, enabling it to withstand various extreme conditions. Nevertheless, there is still a possibility that teeth will shatter into fragments, or even completely destroyed when subjected to high temperatures. In such situations, forensic odontology plays a crucial role in reconstructing teeth from fragments or remaining sockets for identification purposes. Purpose: This study aims to review the implementation of tooth reconstruction for personal identification purposes in forensic odontology. Methods: A comprehensive review of literature related to tooth reconstruction in forensic odontology was conducted through 3 electronic databases, which arePubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Results: Based on the literature review, tooth reconstruction is performed through both conventional and digital methods. Conventionally, dental impression and restorative material (commonly composite resin) were utilized. On the other hand, digital reconstruction requires a scanner and CAD/CAM program. Both methods share the same concept in rebuilding a replica that conforms to the natural anatomy of the original tooth. Conclusion: Tooth reconstruction aids in identification by rebuilding its anatomy using remaining fragments or sockets. Tooth reconstruction can be performed utilizing both traditional and digital methods. This study is expected to spread awareness of tooth reconstruction as a potential tool in the field of forensics, especially for the identification process.

Abstract

Kematian karena tenggelam dikategorikan sebagai bentuk asfiksia akibat masuknya cairan ke saluran pernapasan, penentuan diagnosis post-mortem pada kasus yang terjadi di perairan sering kali menjadi tantangan karena tanda-tanda khas tidak selalu terlihat atau dapat berubah, terutama pada jenazah yang sudah mengalami dekomposisi, tanda klasik seperti busa di mulut, busa pada saluran pernapasan, maupun pembesaran paru tidak selalu ditemukan secara konsisten pada korban yang ditemukan di laut. Untuk mengetahui mekanisme kematian, penyebab kematian, dan perkiraan waktu kematian pada jenazah yang ditemukan di laut, dilakukan pemeriksaan luar, pemeriksaan dalam jenazah (otopsi) dan pemeriksaan penunjang pada seorang jenazah laki-laki yang ditemukan meninggal mengambang di wilayah Pantai Selatan Yogyakarta. Dari hasil pemeriksaan luar ditemukan adanya tanda memar pada bagian kepala akibat kekerasan tumpul, jaringan kuku tampak berwarna keunguan, bintik perdarahan pada konjungtiva palpebra yang menunjukkan adanya tanda mati lemas, hasil pemeriksaan dalam didapatkan sebagian besar organ dalam mengalami kondisi pembusukan, pemeriksaan histopatologi ditemukan diatomae positif pada paru kanan dan paru kiri, ditemukan adanya ekstravasasi eritrosit, dilatasi pembuluh darah berisi mikrotrombin dan leukosit polimorfonuklear pada jaringan ikat bagian kepala. Mekanisme kematian orang ini akibat adanya air yang masuk kedalam saluran pernafasan sehingga mengalami gangguan sirkulasi oksigen dan terjadi kekurangan oksigen secara terus menerus yang menyebabkan kematian.

Abstract

Kekerasan seksual merupakan kejahatan serius yang mengancam kesehatan dan hak asasi perempuan serta anak. Perlindungan terhadap korban diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2022 tentang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual (UU TPKS) dan Undang-Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2014 tentang Perlindungan Anak. Secara global, lebih dari 650 juta perempuan dan 410-530 juta laki-laki mengalami kekerasan seksual pada masa anak-anak. Data Sistem Informasi Online Perlindungan Perempuan dan Anak (Simfoni PPA) menunjukkan peningkatan kasus kekerasan seksual pada kelompok usia anak. Kalimantan Tengah termasuk wilayah dengan angka kekerasan seksual yang masih tinggi, termasuk pada anak laki-laki yang kerap terabaikan akibat stigma sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan memetakan profil kasus kekerasan seksual pada perempuan dan anak yang diperiksa di instalansi forensik dan medikolegal RS Bhayangkara Tk. III Palangka Raya tahun 2020-2024. Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan retrospektif menggunakan data sekunder dari Visum et Repertum korban kekerasan seksual tahun 2020–2024 dengan teknik total sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 125 kasus kekerasan seksual yang memenuhi kriteria penelitian selama periode penelitian, didominasi oleh kelompok usia anak (89,6%), jenis kelamin perempuan (98,4%), dan status pelajar (70,4%). Jenis luka terbanyak berupa laserasi (63,7%) dan lokasi luka terbanyak pada hymen (52,3%). Kesimpulan penelitian ini menggambarkan sebagian besar kasus kekerasan seksual di RS Bhayangkara Tk. III Palangka Raya tahun 2020–2024 terjadi pada anak perempuan berstatus pelajar dengan luka laserasi hymen. Hal ini menunjukkan kerentanan biologis dan sosial yang masih tinggi pada perempuan dan anak terhadap kekerasan seksual, sehingga diperlukan peran strategis semua pihak pemilik kepentingan dalam meningkatkan upaya penanganan dan perlindungan korban kekerasan seksual dari berbagai aspek.
