SynopsisThe internationally acclaimed editors and contributors deliver an up-to-date, comprehensive, and thorough work, which provides everything the reader could possibly need wehther in a clinical, laboratory or legal setting., Child abuse and suspicious child deaths are very complicated matters for clinicians, pathologists, law enforcement officials and legal professionals to investigate. Meanwhile, the evidence base for forensic pathology, especially in paediatrics, is steadily growing. In Paediatric Forensic Medicine and Pathology, two internationally acclaimed editors have brought together a first class author team who provide an up-to-date, comprehensive, and thorough review of the contemporary problems encountered in practice today. Individual chapters explore the emerging role of imaging in the diagnosis of non-accidental injury and compare recent evidence contrasting sudden infant death and SIDS; the head and neck injury chapter carefully explores the 'shaken baby syndrome' and similar patterns of injury that have recently gained widespread media attention. Special emphasis is given to interview and assessment procedures, and useful clinical forms are included throughout the book. Whether in a clinical, laboratory, or legal setting, readers dealing with forensic inquiries or who are in preparation for court will find the comprehensive background and evidence base necessary to support their investigations. Paediatric Forensic Medicine and Pathology is an invaluable resource for forensic pathologists, paediatric pathologists, and paediatricians, as well as all practitioners in the judicial and legal, criminal investigation and social services systems that have to deal with such cases., Child abuse and suspicious child deaths continue to be very complicated problems for the clinicians and pathologist to investigate. This book examines the growing evidence base for forensic pathology in pediatric cases in order to present an objective reference for all those working in the field. The internationally acclaimed editors and contributors deliver an up-to-date, comprehensive, and thorough work, which provides everything the reader could possibly need whether in a clinical, laboratory, or legal setting.
