      Determining the time of injury is an important but still a challenging task in forensic anthropology. In literature, many descriptions can be found to make a distinction between perimortem and postmortem fractures. Char ...
    • Viscoelastic characterization of parasagittal bridging veins and implications for traumatic brain injury: a pilot study 

      García Vilana, Silvia; Sánchez Molina, David; Llumà Fuentes, Jordi; Galtés Vicente, Ignasi; Velázquez Ameijide, Juan; Rebollo Soria, María Carmen; Arregui Dalmases, Carlos (2021-10-18)
