Commentary on: Akyildiz E, Uzun I, Inanici MA, Baloglu H. Computerized image analysis in differentiation of skin lesion caused by electrocution, flame burns, and abrasion. J Forensic Sci 2009;54(6):1419-22

摘要

We compared our experimental results with the one of the articles of Akyildiz et al, on the importance of morphometric analysis of the perimeter and area of the cell nucleus for the differentiation of skin lesions caused by electrocution, flame burns, and abrasion. We focused on the differential diagnosis between hyper-thermic lesion and lesion caused by DC electricity. Our data seem to confirm the original proposal of the authors, In fact, the observations of the authors regarding a nuclear swelling occurring after current application, but not with Joule effect, is consistent with our results.
