“…Another area in which the iris appearance is useful in forensic medicine is in the field of biometrics, the science of identifying individuals based on their characteristics. 45 Biometrics have been used in law enforcement for as long as they have been studied. 46 The most common biometric identifiers include fingerprints, hand geometry, and face, voice, and iris recognition.…”

The eye, with its distinctive anatomy, not only reflects a wide variety of diseases in life but also undergoes a myriad of post-mortem changes. Consequently, the eye has long been an area of interest in forensic science, primarily for the estimation of post-mortem interval and therefore the time of death and also for assistance in ascertaining the cause of death. There has been significant progress in the knowledge of ophthalmic forensic science using new technologies which have allowed further possibilities to arise where understanding of this field can assist the forensic pathologist. This review aims to highlight the current knowledge which exists in this field and also to identify important avenues for further investigation. Post-mortem changes of the eye along with its current applications and challenges will be discussed. These include the important areas of post-mortem iris biometrics, pupil size correlation with post-mortem interval, use of point-of-care technology on vitreous humor, and the use of ophthalmic imaging in pediatric abusive head trauma.

The objective of this study is to explore the diagnosis pattern of mid-trimester fetal chromosomal aneuploidy and its clinical applications. A large group of pregnant women (18-34 years) received dual serological screening. The elderly pregnant women, who were at high and critical risk and refused amniocentesis, underwent non-invasive detection of fetal DNA upon recommendation. Then, the pregnant women with positive non-invasive detection results received amniocentesis, amniotic cell culture, and karyotype analysis for confirmation. In total, 24,520 women and 629 elderly women (>35 years) received amniocentesis, amniotic cell culture, and karyotype analysis, and 1512 women received non-invasive detection of fetal DNA. A total of 275 women received invasive prenatal diagnosis. Seventeen cases of trisomy 21, 3 cases of trisomy 18, and 2 cases of sex chromosomal abnormality were diagnosed. The serological screening-gene detection-prenatal diagnosis for mid-trimester fetal chromosomal aneuploidy increased the detection rate, and decreased the frequency of invasive prenatal diagnosis.
