“…Eidam et al (1988) examined 78 newborns on facial petechiae within 2 and 25 h after birth, quite similar to our study design and found that 28.2% had petechiae in the lower conjunctiva and even 48.7% presented petechiae on their eyelids [32]. These results cannot be supported by our study and we infer that the high rate of cord entanglements in this particular study (28% vs.3.4% in our study), the application of Credé's prophylaxis that is irritating to the conjunctivae (none of the newborns in our study received such prophylaxis) as well as the longer time span after birth (up to 25 h vs. 30 min in our study), in which other incidents (such as strong coughing or vomiting) [4,14,33] can cause petechial hemorrhages, are plausible reasons for the marked differences. We could not find reliable data in the literature concerning the timespan until which petechiae can be detected after birth.…”

“…In these cases, autopsy results might be of prime importance for conviction or acquittal. Vague stories given by a mother to explain different injuries (such as precipitate labor [3] or complications during delivery due to unassisted childbirth), unspecific injuries [4], and the mother's psychiatric conditions [5] make it difficult to clarify autopsy findings within the right context. Once the viability of the newborn is proven and reliable statements on the cause of death are made, it is the forensic pathologist's task to evaluate whether injury patterns can be aligned with the story given by the mother or if inconsistencies lead to the suspicion of neonaticide.…”

Caput succedaneum and facial petechiae—birth-associated injuries in healthy newborns under forensic aspects

In cases of suspected neonaticide, the results of a forensic autopsy might be important for conviction or acquittal. But autopsy findings in dead newborns are often unspecific and can rarely provide corroborative evidence of inflicted injury, as they are known to occur during normal birth as well. In our study, we examined 59 vaginally delivered, healthy newborns within the first 30 min after birth to know more about the prevalence and possible correlations of a caput succedaneum and facial petechiae. Caput succedaneum occurred in 33.9%, facial petechiae in 20.3%. As for the occurrence of caput succedaneum, statistically significant differences could be shown for the duration of delivery and the mother's parity. These correlations could not be shown for the occurrence of facial petechiae. Within the scope of our study, we could demonstrate that neither caput succedaneum nor facial petechiae are rare findings in healthy newborns. In the forensic investigation of suspected neonaticide, their potential significance can only be ascertained together with further investigations of the circumstances of death and a thorough forensic pathological autopsy.

“…Thus the studies on chromosome pairing behaviour and its relation with seed-set have yielded widely different and in many cases conflicting results. Like MORRISON (1956) several other workers believe that factors of a physiological nature are involved which disturbed the correlation (see HAGBERG and ELLERSTROM 1959;WALTHER 1959;MOORE 1963). The influence of so-called physiological factors probably varies in different populations depending on the selective advancement of the experimental material following chromosome doubling.…”

Selection in tetraploid rye

A population of tetraploid spring rye was selected for high seed‐set and regular meiosis on the one hand, and for low seed‐set and irregular meiosis on the other. After four generations the euploid plants in the “high” and the “low” selection lines were compared with the euploid plants in the unselected population belonging to the same C‐generation. A significant positive correlation between meiotic regularity and seed‐set was found in the “high” population while in the “low” population the correlation was negative. In the unselected population none of the cytological features gave a significant correlation with seed‐set. Plant vigour, representing possible physiological factors, was demonstrated to interact in a supplementary manner with cytological factors in determining the level of seed‐set in plants of the unselected population. The relative importance of cytological factors and plant vigour in determining seed‐set was found to vary depending on the type of selection applied. This led to the conclusion that the genetical control of the cytological factors is independent from that of plant vigour.
