Visual disturbances may be caused by diseases of the optic disc, optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus, optic radiations, and occipital lobe of the brain, as well as other brain areas involved in complex visual processing.Diagnosis of disturbances of the visual pathways requires both knowledge of their anatomy and physiology, and the ability to carry out a thorough neuro-ophthalmological examination which should enable (1) documentation of the character and extent of the visual disturbance, and (2) topographic localization of the lesion, so that the relevant investigative techniques, such as radiological imaging, can be appropriately requested....
The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) is responsible for the identification, investigation and prosecution of major drug trafficking organizations. To accomplish this mission, the OCDETF employs case acceptance criteria that are likely to result in the identification of links to major drug trafficking organizations. Once the organizations are identified, the Task Force uses the most sophisticated investigative techniques available such as pen registers, cell phone tracking and global positioning systems, as well as the extensive use of the grand jury, search warrants and wire interceptions. Money laundering charges and asset forfeiture are widely used by OCDETF ...
AD and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are neurodegenerative diseases typified by the insidious onset and gradual progression of cognitive impairment. In both instances, the diagnosis can be confirmed only by histologic examination of brain tissue and observation of the characteristic neuropathologic changes that are associated with each disease. Although current in vivo investigative techniques are unable to visualize directly these pathologic changes, it is possible to detect by neuroimaging the cerebral atrophy that occurs as a consequence of the pathologic processes, and this has led to the utilization of measures of brain atrophy as biomarkers in the evaluation of dementia.. MRI has emerged as a useful neuroimaging tool in the investigation of AD on account of its relative safety and tolerability and its ability to delineate individual structures within the brain. The reduction in total brain volume that occurs in AD is difficult to estimate with confidence on a single scan because of the ...
In recent years, US-guided percutaneous biopsy has emerged as one of the main investigative techniques to obtain histopathological specimens from chest lesions (7). Increasingly, it is becoming the first-choice investigation in chest lesions because of its advantages of procedural simplicity, safety and effectiveness, without the risk of exposure to ionizing radiation (5,6) Despite its high success rate and fewer complications, conventional US has certain limitations in the preoperative evaluation of chest lesions and the design of the puncture path (7). For example, although conventional 2D US can recognize liquefaction within lesions, it may only poorly identify necrotic and un-liquified tissues (7). In addition, although CDFI can broadly observe lesion vascularity, it has low sensitivity and the results of the observation are easily influenced by numerous factors, including the angle between the sound wave and the blood vessel, false negative readings by slow blood flow and noise interference ...
Familial DNA searching (sometimes referred to as familial DNA or familial DNA database searching) is the practice of creating new investigative leads in cases where DNA evidence found at the scene of a crime (forensic profile) strongly resembles that of an existing DNA profile (offender profile) in a state DNA database but there is not an exact match.[41][42] After all other leads have been exhausted, investigators may use specially developed software to compare the forensic profile to all profiles taken from a states DNA database to generate a list of those offenders already in the database who are most likely to be a very close relative of the individual whose DNA is in the forensic profile.[43] To eliminate the majority of this list when the forensic DNA is a mans, crime lab technicians conduct Y-STR analysis. Using standard investigative techniques, authorities are then able to build a family tree. The family tree is populated from information gathered from public records and criminal ...

With CM, it appears they have committed an act of grave injustice against Holy Priests of God. They have hypothesis, unsupported by facts. If they wish to extrapolate the sins of a few Priests and apply those sins to the entire Order, and furthermore, claim that Orders orthodoxy and faithful traditional Liturgy is used by them to advance their criminal sexual deviancy, then they must get their facts straight FIRST. Interview the accused. If the accused do not cooperate, take the time to be sure of the facts the hard way - through investigative technique - before claiming the hypothesis is true and not salacious calumny ...

The Local Government Association says it will work with councils to ensure that surveillance powers are used properly. The LGA said that all public bodies needed to re-build public confidence by showing that the powers were used to help bring serious criminals to justice and not for trivial reasons.. The Association was responding to the announcement of a Government consultation into the use of operations under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. The Government is asking for public views on which public authorities should be able to authorise investigatory techniques, when and why these should be used and whether elected councillors should play a role in approving or overseeing local covert investigations.. For the LGA, Hazel Harding, who chairs its Safer Communities Board, said public bodies that had carried out surveillance operations under RIPA had now to demonstrate that these had been necessary to crack down on serious criminals. This is an opportunity for councils, the NHS and ...

Toxic torts assert that exposure to a given agent is responsible for physical or psychological effects in the claimant. Yet the claim often arises well after a person may be tested for exposure. The Forensic Panel s expertise includes a familiarity with the range of chemicals and toxins and how they present, in history, signs and symptoms, when exposure has occurred.. A forensic toxicologist must examine the probability of harmful effects of the environment on a person. Important features include time-related aspects of the exposure and the dosage of pollutants with which a person may come into contact.. Environmental forensics uses classical analytical chemistry tools with investigative techniques in interpretation to identify the source of environmental contaminants as well as the approximate amount of time that contaminants were released. These cases require careful consideration about the available data on causation, and an awareness of what physical effects link more directly to which ...
On January 18, 2012, the New York Times published an article regarding a recent study conducted by the National Science Agency (NSA) on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) regulation of increasingly complex electronic systems in automobiles. The study specifically assessed the NHTSAs role in investigating recent Toyota acceleration issues. The NSA concluded that the NHTSA does not currently have the necessary knowledge to successfully oversee the increasingly complex electronic systems used in vehicles.. The National Science Agency expanded on its conclusion and added recommendations on how the NHTSA could improve its regulation of electronics systems in automobiles. The NSA recommended that the NHTSA improve its current investigative techniques, further develop its technical help, and advocate for the installation of black boxes in cars, which would allow recording of car crash data. Furthermore, the NSA encouraged the NTSA form an advisory panel of experts to assist ...

Interferometry is a family of techniques in which waves, usually electromagnetic waves, are superimposed causing the phenomenon of interference in order to extract information. Interferometry is an important investigative technique in the fields of astronomy, fiber optics, engineering metrology, optical metrology, oceanography, seismology, spectroscopy (and its applications to chemistry), quantum mechanics, nuclear and particle physics, plasma physics, remote sensing, biomolecular interactions, surface profiling, microfluidics, mechanical stress/strain measurement, velocimetry, and optometry. Interferometers are widely used in science and industry for the measurement of small displacements, refractive index changes and surface irregularities. In an interferometer, light from a single source is split into two beams that travel different optical paths, then combined again to produce interference. The resulting interference fringes give information about the difference in optical path length. In ...
