Eighty-four autopsy cases were systematically investigated to identify a (histo-) morphological or immunohistochemical marker combination that enables the diagnosis of violent asphyxiation in cases with a pre-existing CE ("AE in CE"). The cases comprised four diagnostic groups, namely "AE", "CE", "acute and chronic emphysema (AE + CE)", and "no emphysema (NE)". Samples from all pulmonary lobes were investigated by conventional histological methods as well as with the immunohistochemical markers Aquaporin 5 (AQP-5) and Surfactant protein A1 (SP-A). Particular attention was paid to alveolar septum ends ("dead-ends") suspected as rupture spots, which were additionally analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. The findings in the four diagnostic groups were compared using multivariate analysis and 1-way ANOVA analysis. All morphological findings were found in all four groups. Based on histological and macroscopic findings, a multivariate analysis was able to predict the correct diagnosis "AE + CE" with a probability of 50%, and the diagnoses "AE" and "CE" with a probability of 86% each. Three types of "dead-ends" could be differentiated. One type ("fringed ends") was observed significantly more frequently in AE. The immunohistochemical markers AQP-5 and SP-A did not show significant differences among the examined groups. Though a reliable identification of AE in CE could not be achieved using the examined parameters, our findings suggest that considering many different findings from the macroscopical, histomorphological, and molecular level by multivariate analysis is an approach that should be followed. 000893854 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5254$$a5254 - Neuroscientific Data Analytics and AI (POF4-525)$$cPOF4-525$$fPOF IV$$x0 000893854 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 000893854 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131678$$aEickhoff, Simon B.$$b1 000893854 7001_ $$00000-0002-2922-5110$$aFiller, Timm J.$$b2 000893854 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMayer, Felix$$b3 000893854 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMahlke, Nina S.$$b4$$eCorresponding author 000893854 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRitz-Timme, Stefanie$$b5 000893854 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1459222-8$$a10.1007/s00414-021-02619-7$$p 133–147 $$tInternational journal of legal medicine$$v136$$x1437-1596$$y2022 000893854 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/893854/files/Gava2022_Article_AcuteOrChronicPulmonaryEmphyse.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000893854 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:893854$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000893854 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131678$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 000893854 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-525$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5254$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lNatural, Artificial and Cognitive Information Processing$$vDecoding Brain Organization and Dysfunction$$x0 000893854 9141_ $$y2022 000893854 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2021-01-29 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2021-01-29 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3002$$2StatID$$aDEAL Springer$$d2021-01-29$$wger 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2021-01-29 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bINT J LEGAL MED : 2021$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC$$d2022-11-23 000893854 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2022-11-23 000893854 920__ $$lyes 000893854 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406$$kINM-7$$lGehirn & Verhalten$$x0 000893854 980__ $$ajournal 000893854 980__ $$aVDB 000893854 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000893854 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406 000893854 9801_ $$aFullTexts
