    Cut throat injuries and honor killings: Review of 15 cases in eastern Turkey
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2013) Ozdemir, Bora; Celbis, Osman; Kaya, Atilhan
    Throat cuts could be of homicidal, suicidal or accidental origin. In the cases of death from cut throat, suicide can be distinguished from homicide based on the type and location of the wound and crime scene investigation. The purpose of the current study is to attract attention to the instructive findings for origin determination in deaths by cut throat according to the number and characteristics of the wounds and crime scene investigation. We have reviewed the files of autopsies performed between the years of 2000 and 2010, and compared with previously published case reports; all results were summarized in the current study. The results showed that 60% of cases were male, 40% were female, with 27.9 years of average age. The mean number of wounds was calculated to be 34.3 per case for honor homicides, 7.4 per case for other homicides, and 2.0 per case for suicides. Numbers of wounds were approximately 5 times higher in the honor homicides compared to other homicides. If the number of wounds were excessive, possibility of honor killings should be taken into account. When the killer was a parent not in psychosis, hesitation cuts were detected. Additional lesions were present in 46.7% of the cases, and they were assessed as homicide. Presence of vertebral notch and spinal cord cuts, which require a substantial amount of force and pressure via sharp tools, indicates homicide.

    Examination of the sexually assaulted child
    (Turkish Pediatrics Assoc, 2011) Celbis, Osman; Ozdemir, Born; Kaya, Atilhan
    Sexual assault on the child has been accepted as one of greatest crimes in the World. In case of a sexually attacked child appliying to the health center the prior management must be protecting the physical and psychological health of the child. Clinical and other examinations have to be performed immediately and the medicolegal report should also be prepared as soon as possible. It cannot be forgotten that the medicolegal report substantially supports the subject being sexually assaulted. Finally it is the proof that reflects the intensity of the event and it's wickedness. From this perspective, the medicolegal report has to cover all findings related to events. In this paper, the rules of the sexually assaulted child examination, the appropriate environment, for the examination the qualification of examiners and the obligatory procedures performed by physicians before during and after the examination are stated.

    Oxidative stress status of individuals involved in traffic accidents
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2012) Ozdemir, Bora; Kaya, Atilhan; Sogut, Ozgur; Kaya, Halil; Gokdemir, Mehmet Tahir; Celbis, Osman
    Aim: To investigate the role of the oxidative stress status of drivers involved in traffic accidents as a risk factor. Materials and methods: Twenty-six drivers and 28 passengers involved in traffic accidents and 31 healthy control drivers and 30 healthy control pedestrians were enrolled in the present study. The total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) were measured in blood samples. Results: The mean value of the TO S level in drivers involved in traffic accidents was significantly higher than that of the control pedestrians (P <= 0.05). The mean value of the TAS level in passengers involved in traffic accidents was significantly lower than that of the control drivers and pedestrians (P <= 0.001 and P <= 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: This is the first study assessing the oxidative markers of individuals involved in a traffic accident compared with a control group. The results reveal that involvement in a traffic accident has an effect on oxidative markers. However, further studies are required in order to use the oxidative stress status of drivers involved in traffic accidents as a marker for estimating the accident risk.
