- Perspectiva ética, deontológica y legal de las voluntades anticipadas(Universitat de València: Unitat Docent de Medicina Legal, 2021) Pascual Castelló, Eva; Castelló Ponce, Ana"We reviewed a document for which various names are used, all of them equivalent. We analyze it by recalling the means for its preparation in Spain and its degree of acceptance, comparing it with the situation in the United States of America. Then we review it from Ethics, Deontology and the Law, proposing the inevitable questions about its coverage and its possible limitations. Issues such as what is understood by ""quality of life"" from different points of view - doctors, patients and relatives - are discussed. We conclude with some cases, which illustrate very different situations - foreseeable or unforeseeable event - from those involved."
- Reactivos quimioluminiscentes para la localización de sangre en las escenas delictivas: Lumiscene. Prueba comparativa de sensibilidad(Universitat de València: Unitat Docent de Medicina Legal, 2021) Hernández Moreno, MaríaThe correct blood location in crime scenes is one of the most crucial and complex aspects of the crime scene investigation. It is closely related to the correct choice of the chemiluminescen reagent for each occasion. Each one of these reagents has a different sensitivity level to the blood samples. Based on this premise, 80 passive bloodstains have been generated from 10 variable dilutions, which have been pulverized with 4 different reagents in order to determine how their results defer and which one is more sensitive. The collected data shows that the sensitivity of Lumiscene and Bluestar Forensic Magnum far exceeds the ones obtained under the same circumstances with other tests such as Luminal or Bluestar Forensic. It also shows that the differences among them are perceptible also in aspects like intensity and duration of the emitted luminescence.
- Criminalística práctica: la evidencia. Teoría y procesamiento físico(Universitat de València: Unitat Docent de Medicina Legal, 2021) Chávez López, CarlosMuch has been said, written and discussed regarding the handling of physical evidence as a primary element in the study of criminalistics. The truth is that, although there are important theoretical-practical efforts in this branch of forensic knowledge, the absence (and in other cases, frank nonexistence) of precise and adequate protocols for its correct handling in the place of investigation, and after this , have diminished the results that are sought to obtain so that an object, subject of expert study, can be presented as evidence in an oral trial hearing, or endow with technical veracity a research portfolio, and thus, strengthen a theory of the case. For this reason, and in the effort to make a contribution to the importance of the processing that physical evidence has in expert work, this work comes to life, which aims to be a guide in such a task.
- Parir en tiempos de COVID-19: aumento de la violencia obstétrica durante la pandemia(Universitat de València: Unitat Docent de Medicina Legal, 2021) Paris Angulo, Sandra; Gracia Suarez, AlbaObstetric violence is a kind of violation for women's human and reproductive rights It is a serious global public health problem that threatens the biopsychosocial well-geing for mothers and babies. Due to numerous testimonies published by women and women's organizations in the social media, abuse and violence against women have generated great interest worldwide in recent years and especially in recent months. In addition, in July 2019 the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, Dubravka ?imonovi?, issued a comprehensive report that enshrines the term obstetric violence as a form of violence that is widespread and even normalized by society. It considers that coercive or non-consensual medical procedures, lack of confidentiality and failure to obtain fully informed consent violate women's human rights and are a form of discrimination. The legislative poverty in this area is evident since there is no specific legislation in Spanish territory that regulates this type of violence, only some autonomic law contemplates some of the rights declared by the World Health Organization. Without legislation in place, it has been easy to violate women's rights during the pandemic, in which the control and management of the pandemic has prevailed without regard to violating women's rights. The object of this work is to review the issue, make obstetric violence visible and inform women of their rights after a clear increase of the obstetric violence during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Entomofauna cadavérica del orden díptera en San Luis Potosí, México(Universitat de València: Unitat Docent de Medicina Legal, 2021) Vázquez Castillo, Rocío del Carmen; Vergara Pineda, Santiago; Henández Mier, C.Introduction: Forensic entomology has collaborated as one of the forensic sciences with scientific knowledge that allows its application as a problem-solving tool for criminal law. Nevertheless, this kind of investigation needs to be regionalized due to the characteristics, some conditions like flora, fauna and weather become variables that influence the results. For that reason, the target of this investigation was set to identify the cadaverous entomofauna of the Diptera order in San Luis Potosí city, Mexico. Method and materials: This investigation was conducted on an observational, descriptive and longitudinal design, the environment was semi-controlled and in an open system, with a Oryctolagus cuniculus (common rabbit) as the bio model, it was sacrificed with a CO2 chamber, so that death was guaranteed under a controlled context. It was then placed in a cage for 11 days, and fly specimens were collected for the following 15 days. Results: During the monitoring of the evolution of the bio model, a progressive arrival of the Muscidae, Sarcophagidae and Calliphoridae families was identified, the latter being the most abundant in relation to the others. The species had a correspondence with that described in the existing bibliography at both national and international level.
- Coronavirus SARS-COV-2. La pandemia de la estigmatización y la violencia contra el personal médico: una mirada legal(Universitat de València: Unitat Docent de Medicina Legal, 2021) Araujo Cuauro, Juan CarlosPurpose: The relationship that is established between a doctor and a patient, has its fundamental basis in the medical act, has human, ethical, philosophical, sociological connotations and even legal implications as a consequence of its alteration by some of the participating people.
