“…At a minimum, the postmortem analysis should include drugs of abuse, prescription medications or other therapeutic drugs, and alcohols. If warranted by the death scene investigation, clinical history, or autopsy findings, additional toxicology testing may include heavy metals, inhalants, carboxyhemoglobin, pesticides, or other potentially hazardous exposures (30).…”

The investigation of infant death is complex and requires synergy between multiple agencies including law enforcement, Child Protective Services, medicolegal death investigators, and forensic pathologists. Prior to the forensic pediatric autopsy, the death investigator must identify the types of death scenes involved (e.g., hospital, residence, daycare) and document the details of the scene. Interviews must be conducted with the caregivers and other family members (including doll reenactments), law enforcement, pediatricians, and emergency medical personnel. The forensic pathologist must be able to conduct a comprehensive pediatric forensic autopsy and be aware of the specific challenges related to cases of sudden unexpected infant deaths. This article provides an overview of infant death investigation, discussing the roles and responsibilities of the medicolegal death investigator and the forensic pathologist.

“…Traditional approaches have centered on testing a variety of specimens from the fetus/neonate (eg, meconium, blood, cord blood, fetal hair, urine), the mother (eg, maternal hair, blood, urine, breast milk, oral fluid), or a combination of both (eg, placental tissue and amniotic fluid) 7 . Importantly, the transfer of drugs across the placenta varies throughout pregnancy, 8 leading to potential differences in results between the mother and child. Many of these matrices require noninvasive collection procedures and cover a broad range of detection windows, from early pregnancy to iatrogenic medications administered during and after delivery.…”

Umbilical cord tissue (UCT) traditionally has been used as an antemortem matrix for identifying and monitoring fetal exposure to drugs suspected to have been used during pregnancy. The specimen offers several advantages as a testable tissue, including accessibility and ease of collection, ample sample volume, a long window of detection, and ability to detect for a wide range of drugs. Despite these advantages, little to no research exists on the use of UCT as a postmortem forensic toxicology specimen. This article aims to provide insights into UCT toxicological testing and infer potential applications for postmortem use, such as investigations into stillbirths and infant abandonment. Umbilical cord tissue offers several benefits as a postmortem toxicological specimen. Importantly, it can be collected with or without an autopsy being performed and may help explain factors that contribute to the underdevelopment and death of the neonate. With the limited sample volumes present in infant investigations, toxicological analysis of UCT could become a valuable tool for neonatal medicolegal death investigations.

“…Ada enam langkah penting untuk mencapai tujuan ini, analisis risiko reproduksi, mendorong perilaku reproduksi yang sehat, penguatan masyarakat, pembangunan kapasitas institusional, penggunaan teknologi kesehatan yang optimal, dan advokasi kebijakan publik. 9 Berbagai faktor dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan reproduksi perempuan. Konsekuensi dari peningkatan industrialisasi dan pencemaran lingkungan adalah peningkatan penggunaan bahan kimia sintetis dan paparan berulang untuk senyawa berbahaya di tempat kerja dan di rumah berakibat buruk pada kesehatan reproduksi.…”

“…Perempuan sering menjadi subyek dari berbagai bentuk kekerasan yang memiliki dampak langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap kesehatan reproduksi. 13 Sebuah penelitian yang dilakukan di Nigeria menemukan bahwa 43 persen dari respondennya pernah mengalami pelecehan seksual, sementara 28 persennya pernah diperkosa. Selain itu, ditemukan pula bahwa 70 persen dari sampel penelitian tidak mengetahui kemana mengakses pelayanan kesehatan reproduksi.…”

This research try to discover women consumer behavior towards their reproductive health and the use of pads. It was found that most respondent used magazines, newspapers, or newspapers as sources of information to acquire knowledge about reproductive health. Respondents spent special time to increase knowledge about reproductive health of women and prioritize read articles about women's reproductive health. Pads is one of product that is familiar with the women reproductive health, but women in this study had no certainty about its safety for use and whether the pads can cause cancer. Additionally, more than half of respondents would consider using the traditional way with a washable cloth pads if the current pads is proven can cause cervical cancer. Price of the pads is a factor that affects their purchase behavior and although they have a favorite brand, they are not particularly loyal to the brand if it is not available when needed.
