It remains unclear what the underlying mechanism responsible for this change is: whether this is due to rapid electrolyte changes from salt water inhalation/ingestion during drowning or from electrolyte diffusion and/or osmosis across the outer coats of the eyeballs during immersion. A recent animal study using sacrificed bovine eyeballs immersed in salt water demonstrated no significant elevations in PMVSC when immersed for less than one hour. Assuming similar physical properties between human and bovine, we extrapolate that an elevation in PMVSC in SWD with immersion times of less than one hour (SWD-1) would not be from immersion, but from drowning. Aim: Investigate whether there is an elevation in PMVSC in SWD-1. Methods: Retrospective study comparing PMVSC in SWD-1 with controls from 2012 to 2015 inclusive. Results: PMVSC in SWD-1 was significantly elevated compared with controls. A PMVSC of 259 mmol/L has a sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratio of 0.9, 0.9 and 7.6, respectively. Conclusion: The elevation in PMVSC in SWD-1 is due to drowning. A PMVSC of 259 mmol/L and above is a reliable ancillary test in diagnosing drowning in bodies immersed in salt water for less than one hour.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:34 AEDT ]]> Reality bites: a ten-year retrospective analysis of bitemark casework in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25720 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:30 AEDT ]]> Critical issues in the historical and contemporary development of forensic anthropology in Australia: an international comparison https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30573 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:50:23 AEST ]]> Forensic image analysis - CCTV distortion and artefacts https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47487 Mon 23 Jan 2023 11:48:47 AEDT ]]> Estimation of sex and stature using anthropometry of the upper extremity in an Australian population https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48828 Mon 10 Apr 2023 10:35:53 AEST ]]> Forensic gait analysis - morphometric assessment from surveillance footage https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42196 Fri 19 Aug 2022 10:25:19 AEST ]]>
