Locci, Emanuela published the artcileMetabolomics improves the histopathological diagnosis of asphyxial deaths: an animal proof-of-concept model, Recommanded Product: (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is metabolome histopathol diagnosis asphyxial death.
The diagnosis of mech. asphyxia remains one of the most difficult issues in forensic pathol. Asphyxia ultimately results in cardiac arrest (CA) and, as there are no specific markers, the differential diagnosis of primitive CA and CA secondary to asphyxiation relies on circumstantial details and on the pathologist experience, lacking objective evidence. Histol. examination is currently considered the gold standard for CA post-mortem diagnosis. Here we present the comparative results of histopathol. vs. those previously obtained by 1H NMR (NMR) metabolomics in a swine model, originally designed for clin. purposes, exposed to two different CA causes, namely ventricular fibrillation and asphyxia. While heart and brain microscopical anal. could identify the damage induced by CA without providing any addnl. information on the CA cause, metabolomics allowed the identification of clearly different profiles between the two groups and showed major differences between asphyxiated animals with good and poor outcomes. Minute-by-minute plasma sampling allowed to associate these modifications to the pre-arrest asphyxial phase showing a clear correlation to the cellular effect of mech. asphyxia reproduced in the experiment The results suggest that metabolomics provides addnl. evidence beyond that obtained by histol. and immunohistochem. in the differential diagnosis of CA.
