Fractures of the base of the skull in charred bodies — post-mortem heat injuries or signs of mechanical traumatisation?
TL;DR: Neither the retrospective analysis of autopsy records nor the prospective examination of charred bodies revealed any cases with heat-induced fractures of the base of the skull, but observation of cremations showed that the changes caused by the fire followed certain rules.

Fast confirmation of 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH) in urine by LC/MS/MS using negative atmospheric-pressure chemical ionisation (APCI)
TL;DR: A fast method using automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) and short-column liquid-chromatography coupled to tandem mass-spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with negative atmospheric-pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) has been developed for the confirmation of 11-nor-9-carboxy-Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH) in urine samples.

Post-mortem detection and identification of sildenafil (Viagra) and its metabolites by LC/MS and LC/MS/MS.
TL;DR: Findings prove that sildenafil was taken some time prior to death, but the causality of sildanafil intake and fatal cardiac failure could not be proven, since no blood was available for analysis.

Different methods to determine length heteroplasmy within the mitochondrial control region
TL;DR: A rapid method based on restriction cleavage of labelled PCR products encompassing the homopolymeric tract in HVII to quantify the relative proportions of different length variants present in an individual is described.
