- OBJECTIVE: To disclose recurrent, dynamic, and static factors in teenage suicide involving the suicidee, his/her family, and the community; and to investigate the feasibility of using police as informants for suicide studies.SUBJECTS: All deaths categorised as suicide 1993 through 1995 among teenagers in Northern Sweden (n=15).METHOD: Semiqualitative interviews with police officers, and, when applicable, general practitioners. Police reports, necropsy protocols, medical records, and conscription data were also analysed.RESULTS: Most suicides occurred in rural and depopulated areas. In contrast to males, females often had a history of overt psychiatric problems with suicide attempts. At least two thirds of the suicides were planned.CONCLUSION: Cultural and sociopolitical aspects are important in teenage suicide as well as gender differences. Police officers can provide essential information. Identifying teenagers at risk remains difficult, however, due to low baseline rates.

Injury Tolerance and Response of the Ankle Joint in Dynamic Dorsiflexion
- 2004
-
Ingår i: SAE Technical Papers. - 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA, United States : SAE International. - 0148-7191 .- 2688-3627. ; 2004-November:November, s. 1-26

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Forced dorsiflexion in frontal vehicle crashes is considered a common cause of injury to the ankle joint. Although a few studies have been published on the dynamic fracture tolerance of the ankle in dorsiflexion, this work reexamines the topic with increased statistical power, adds an evaluation of articular cartilage injury, and utilizes methods to detect the true time of fracture. The objective of this study was to measure the response and injury tolerance of the human ankle in a loading condition similar to that found in a vehicle crash with toepan intrusion. A test fixture was constructed to apply forefoot impacts to twenty cadaveric lower limbs, that were anatomically intact distal to the femur mid-diaphysis. Specimen instrumentation included implanted tibial and fibular load cells, accelerometers, angular rate sensors, and an acoustic sensor. Following the tests, specimens were radiographed and dissected to determine the extent of injury. Eleven of the twenty specimens sustained fracture of the ankle joint. Fractures of the medial malleolus were the most common, while two specimens sustained bimalleolar fractures, and two a talar neck fracture. Other injuries included ligament tears, osteochondral fractures, and cartilage abrasions. Analysis of the acoustic emission indicated that fracture did not always occur at the peak ankle moment. Based on the results of this study, an ankle joint moment of 59 N-m represents a 25% risk of ankle fracture in dorsiflexion for a 50th percentile male. When applied to the Thor-Lx dummy, the 25% risk of injury occurs at 36° of dorsiflexion as measured by the ankle potentiometer.

Flunitrazepam abuse and personality characteristics inmale forensic psychiatric patients
- 2001

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sixty male non-psychotic forensic psychiatric patients, aged 16-35 years, were studied after they completed their ordinary forensic psychiatric assessment (FPA). The prevalence of flunitrazepam (FZ) abuse was investigated by using both structured and in-depth interviews with the objective of studying the relationship between the abuse and personality traits. The patient’s characteristics, DSM-IV disorders, and actual sentences were obtained by studying their files. In order to obtain measures on their personality traits, self-report inventories were administered to the patients. Eighteen out of 60 patients were FZ abusers, but only 4 of them received a diagnosis related to the FZ abuse during the ordinary FPA. In almost all cases, however, indications of the FZ abuse were found in the files. No differences in personality traits were found between the groups. The frequency of previous admissions to an FPA and actual sentences of robbery, weapons offenses, narcotic-related offenses, and other crimes, such as theft, among the FZ abusers deviated significantly from forensic non-FZ abusers. Therefore, the FZ abuse per se might be more responsible for their tendency to commit crimes characterized by danger and thrill-seeking, such as robbery, weapons offences, and theft, than personality. The most important conclusion is that assessment of FZ abuse is needed in forensic psychiatry.

Relapse in violent crime in relation to cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolites (5-HIAA, HVA and HMPG) in male forensic psychiatric patients convicted of murder: a 16-year follow-up
- 2002

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to investigate if low levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)monoamine metabolites of 5-HIAA, HVA and HMPG predict relapse in violent crimes. METHOD: Relapse in crime and level of CSF monoamine metabolites (5-HIAA, HVA and HMPG) was studied in a group of 29 murderers. The follow-up was 16 years. RESULTS: Fourteen of the 29 murderers were convicted of crime; nine of them committed violent crimes; one was convicted of a new murder. The differences in mean CSF monoamine metabolites were lower in subjects who relapsed into any type of crime, but only the difference in mean CSF HVA was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The risk to commit new murder is very small in males who earlier have been convicted of murder. Low levels of CSF HVA is associated with an increased risk for relapse in any type of crime.

Violent behavior, impulsive decision-making, and anterograde amnesia while intoxicated with Flunitrazepam and alcohol or other drugs : A case study in forensic psychiatric patients

Ingår i: The journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. - Bloomfield, CT, USA. - 1093-6793 .- 1943-3662. ; 30:2, s. 238-251

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is known that many male juvenile delinquents commit violent crimes while intoxicated with flunitrazepam (FZ), often in combination with alcohol or other drugs. We have also noted the combined abuse of FZ with, for example, alcohol in male forensic psychiatric patients. Our objective was to study violent behavior, impulsive decision making, and amnesia in male forensic psychiatric patients who were intoxicated predominantly with FZ, to increase knowledge of the abuse of FZ in vulnerable subjects. We studied five forensic psychiatric patients, all of whom were assessed in 1998. All of the subjects reported earlier reactions to FZ, including hostility and anterograde amnesia. At the time of their crimes they were all intoxicated with FZ, often in combination with alcohol or other drugs, such as amphetamine or cannabis. In contrast to their behavior based on their ordinary psychological characteristics, their crimes were extremely violent, and the subjects lacked both the ability to think clearly and to have empathy with their victims. Our observations support the view that FZ abuse can lead to serious violent behavior in subjects characterized by vulnerable personality traits, and that this effect is confounded by the concurrent use of alcohol or other drugs. It is evident that FZ causes anterograde amnesia. Previous research and the results presented herein allow us to draw the following conclusion: on the basis of the neuropsychopharmacologic properties of FZ, legal decisions, such as declaring FZ an illegal drug, are needed in countries where it is now legal.

FINEX, FAMILIAS: two different approaches for the analysis of defective paternity cases
- 2004
-
Ingår i: International Congress Series. ; 1261, s. 65-66
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We provide an overview of the main features of two computer programs enabling to calculate Bayesian probabilities in defective paternity cases: FINEX and FAMILIAS. These packages turn out very useful when computation complexities exceed the ordinary pencil-and-paper approach powers. FAMILIAS is especially suited for all cases in which there is a basic uncertainty on the most likely pedigree. FINEX is an Expert System-based program enabling to tackle very complex cases with plenty of data.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Arrow wounds represent an unusual class of wounds rarely seen by most forensic pathologists. In this paper we present a case of homicide by bow and arrow and the characteristics of such injuries. The essential characteristics of the lesions obtained from conically-tapered field points and from hunting broadhead tips are described and discussed in relation to injuries caused by firearm bullets. In the present case, three arrows struck the victim, and the order in which the injuries were sustained are analyzed. We also discuss the possibilities of localizing the shooter relative to the victim by analysis of the trajectories.
