A novel, comprehensive, and reproducible porcine model for determining the timing of bruises in forensic pathology

摘要

Calculating the timing of bruises is crucial in forensic pathology but is a challenging discipline in both human and veterinary medicine. A mechanical device for inflicting bruises in pigs was developed and validated, and the pathological reactions in the bruises were studied over time in order to identify gross and histological parameters that may be useful in determining the age of a bruise.
