The Hybrid Gamma Camera (HGC) has been developed to enhance the localisation of radiopharmaceutical uptake in targeted tissues during surgical procedures such as sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. To assess the capability of the HGC, a lymph-node-contrast (LNC) phantom was constructed to simulate medical scenarios of varying radioactivity concentrations and SLN size.
This course is aimed at helping students build up an understanding of how to develop a software system from scratch by guiding them thru the development process and giving them the fundamental principles of system development with object oriented technology using UML.
Necrophagous species of insects provide useful complementary data to estimate the postmortem interval in forensic cases. Here, for the first time, we report on insect specimens collected from human corpses in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. During the study, 14 beetle larvae were collected from the outdoor corpse (case report one) and five flies and seven beetles were collected from the indoor corpse (case report two).
Megaselia scalaris Loew (Diptera: Phoridae) and Parasarcophaga ruficornis Fabricius (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) are flies of forensic importance. Impact of M. scalaris on the life cycle of P. ruficornis has been studied under laboratory condition. The life cycle of M. scalaris in pure culture was completed in 245 ± 2.33 hours (10.21 ± 0.42 days) and in 464 ± 3.63 hours (19.33 ± 0.23 days) in the case of P. ruficornis. The mixed culture of both flies required about 289 ± 2.75 hours (12.04 ± 0.12 days) and 568 ± 3.08 hours (23.66 ± 0.5 days), respectively in the same conditions.
