Abstract:
Background: Stabbing with kitchen knife is a common method of homicide in Nigeria; and embalming of decomposing stabbed cadavers has been a challenge for morticians in Nigeria, because of the impairment of embalming fluid through the damaged arteries. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of an embalming mixture containing formalin, methanol and water on stabbed early decomposing carcasses using porcine analogues. Methods: Two infant pigs were used for this study. Animals were sacrificed and allowed to reach the early stage of decomposition before embalming. Cervical arterial and hypodermic embalming techniques were employed. Post-embalming changes were observed and scored. A Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the outcome of embalmment and the embalming mixture. Results: There was a statistically significant moderate positive correlation (r = .576, n = 42, p = .001) between outcome of embalming, and duration of embalming; a statistically significant strong negative correlation (r = -.623, n = 42, p = .001) with volume of embalming fluid; and a statistically significant moderate negative correlation (r = -.528, n = 42, p = .001) with room temperature. There was a statistically insignificant very weak positive correlation (r = .186, n = 42, p = .239) between outcome of embalming and humidity; and a statistically insignificant very weak negative correlation (r = -.141, n = 42, p = .375) with atmospheric temperature. Conclusions: This study validated the embalming methodology and fluid suitable for arresting early decomposition process of stabbed infant carcasses in Nigeria. More so, an embalming mixture containing formalin, methanol and water in equal proportion is suitable for arresting early decomposition of stabbed cadavers.

Abstract:
Formalin is one of the commonest embalming fluid used in modern embalming. Methanol can also be mixed with formalin in order to prevent the precipitation of formaldehyde to paraformaldehyde. Methanol is also a good preservative. Strangled bodies remain one of common homicides received at funeral homes in Anambra state, Nigeria. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to observe the early decomposition activities in Anambra state; use an embalming mixture containing formalin, methanol and water to arrest it; and document the techniques used to achieve it. Therefore, four infant pigs were used for this study. They were sacrificed and allowed to reach the early stage of decomposition before embalming. The results showed that outcome of embalming is influenced by the embalming mixture used, duration of the embalming, and the room temperature of the morgue were the embalmed bodies were stored after embalming. The results also showed that atmospheric temperature and humidity does not influence the outcome of embalming. In conclusion, the methodology for arresting early decomposition of strangled homicides is by arterially injecting an embalming mixture containing formalin, methanol, water and dye; and also supplementing this technique with hypodermic embalming technique.

Embalming as art and science of preserving dead bodies with postponing decomposition using embalming fluid. The method of preservation of cadavers is natural and non-natural. This study involves an extensive search of journal articles to access the trend of development of embalming technique that was developed after many trials and errors. In this paper, we have briefly discussed about the past, present and upcoming future technique of cadaver preservation with recent advances and modification. We also would like to recommend that new internationally recognized standard on embalming technique should be developed so that cadavers were excellently preserved and color remains natural.

Abstract:
This paper studies the trajectory of modern embalming, considered as a technical innovation in the treatment of dead bodies, across time and societies. Tracing the history of technical innovations, it examines the evolution of embalming from the fi eld of medical science to its re-appropriation by a secular sphere (funeral sector). The central role of material culture in the spread of innovative embalming techniques is underlined, and notably the leading role of commercial networks and industrial actors as they support the growth of embalmers while products, equipment and technical know-how are normalized. On the basis of the contemporary funeral organization, the analysis explores how embalming has become part of the cooperative chain surrounding death. It describes how embalming innovation entails a set of ‘alignments’ (Strauss, 1988) in the management of corpse care, supporting various standardization processes, which are both practical and symbolic. Finally, the establishment of a professional body of embalmers points to a new inter-professional interpretation of the corpse and of death care, radically changing the interface between the medical world and the funeral world.

Abstract:
The comparison of tissue colour between Thiel's embalmed cadavers (TEC) and formalin-embalmed cadavers (FEC) is crucial for assessing the efficacy of Thiel embalming technique as a suitable alternative to formalin embalming for surgical skill training and anatomical education. Most of the studies which declare the superiority of tissue colour in TEC over FEC have done subjective assessment and comparison of the tissue colour. This study aims to compare the colour difference between Thiel and formalin embalmed cadavers objectively. : The current study used six human cadavers to compare the effects of two embalming methods, Modified Thiel’s solution (MTS) and Modified Formalin Solution(MFS). The tissues of the cadavers were dissected and photographed to be analysed for Red, Blue, Green values using Image J software. The mean (SD) R-value (Red), G-value (Green), and B-value (Blue) for MTS embalmed cadavers were 149.78 (16.070), 124 (19.675), and 109.96 (9.852), respectively, from pictures of embalmed cadavers from research groups. The mean RGB value of MTS embalmed cadavers was substantially (P<0.05) higher than MFS embalmed cadavers. The current research found that MTS-embalmed cadavers have greater RGB values than MFS-embalmed ones. This information helps to fully understand tissue property changes, evaluate their impact on student perceptions and learning outcomes, and determine Thiel embalming's suitability for surgical training and workshops.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND Embalming is the process of treating a dead human / animal body with a chemical to protect the body from microbial spoilage and to renovate the physical appearance. Usually, it involves using formalin-based solutions. Although there are many embalming devices, most of them are heavy to lift, expensive and electrically operated. These types of electrically operated cadaveric injectors are widely used for embalming as it provides complete fixation (up to the distal parts of the limbs), and helps to save time. This study focuses on comparing a cost-effective, portable, ecofriendly embalming equipment which can run without electrical power with conventional technique. METHODS The comparative study of trials in checking the efficiency of the device were carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Government Theni Medical College, Theni. About 60 cadavers were received. Thirty (30) of them had been embalmed using this pump, the remaining half (30) were preserved by conventional method of embalming (i.e., electrical cadaveric injector). Embalming kit includes scalpel blade, surgical gloves, toothed- and blunt-forceps, scissors and modified fertilizer spraying pump, cannula, and pressure gauge. Arterial embalming was performed through femoral artery (femoral triangle). RESULTS We developed a cost-effective, portable, eco-friendly embalming equipment which does not require power and tested its efficiency in preserving about 30 cadavers. We observed that the novel method was 96 % efficient. CONCLUSIONS The pump is highly effective in preserving the body and anyone with minimal training could use it.

Abstract:
Abstract Embalming of the dead is more common in the United States than anywhere else in the world. Battles far from home during the Civil War with concern for contagion from dead bodies being shipped home, compelled President Lincoln to direct the troops to use embalming to allow the return of the Union dead to their homes. Viewings were common with war heroes and culminated with the viewing of Lincoln himself. In the 20th century embalming became a tradition despite substantial evidence indicating environmental and occupational hazards related to embalming fluids and carbon dioxide generated from manufacturing steel coffins before placing in concrete burial vaults. Embalming is promoted and considered helpful to the grieving process when families are comforted by a the appearance of a peaceful death. Embalmers are expected to produce an illusion of rest, an image that in some ways disguises death for the benefit of mourners. The dead are carefully displayed in a condition of liminal repose where the 'true' condition is hidden, and death is removed from the actual event. In this paper we highlight the spiritual and cultural complexities of embalming related- issues. We also provide data on the lack of grieving families’ preparedness for the financial burden associated with the death of a loved one and the lack of knowledge of alternative options. We propose an innovative process to empower people facing serious illness, and their families to make shared and informed decisions, especially when death is the expected outcome.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the embalming ritual of the Egyptian Late Period through Ptolemaic era (664 – 30 BC). Using an interdisciplinary approach, I incorporate primary and secondary texts, Egyptian funerary art and archaeological remains into my study. I utilize these lines of evidence to reconstruct the embalming ritual to the degree possible and analyze the ways in which its various stages were believed to fulfill the ultimate goal of this rite: preservation of the physical body and eternal life for the deceased. I focus particularly on the archaeological material and explore the visibility of religious practice in the archaeological record. I identify key changes and developments in the embalming ritual from the Late Period through the Ptolemaic Period in order to highlight religious significance placed on embalming during this time period. Funerary art, literature, and archaeological material of the Late through Greco-Roman Periods illustrate an increased focus on the integrity of the corpse as well as the manifestation of decay, the liquid \(rDw\). I examine these ancient sources in order to better understand the nature and development of body-centered funerary practices during this period of Egyptian history.

Abstract:
This research study analyses the construction of meaning surrounding the embalmed corpse in contemporary England. It documents a process of social change in which Legal, Medical and Religious discourses concerning the dead, once dominant and unchallenged, now co-exist, if somewhat uneasily, with modern constructions of death and the possibility of an after life. The meaning of the embalmed corpse is considered to be constructed by different elements which are presented historically. Initially religious discourses governed the meaning of the body, which was preserved for religious reasons. 17th century surgeon-embalmers requisitioned the corpse for reasons of status assertion, presenting their arguments in medical terms. Contemporary hygiene issues, in tandem with legal issues, today have a powerful impact on the corpse, which is usually experienced by mourners in the context of contemporary consumer culture, after the process of embalming has occurred. The decline of religious practices also mean that the contemporary corpse has assumed a far greater significance than in the past. From the perspective of the sociology of the body, based on the seminal work of Turner, this thesis discusses how changing experiences of live bodies are inextricably linked with changing experience of dead bodies in contemporary societies. This is accomplished through an interpretation of the different meaning attributed to embalmed corpses, together with an appreciation of the work of Hertz and Van Gennep, both of whom identified, in pre-literate societies, the centrality and embeddedness of the treatment of the corpse to funeral rituals. The thesis reports some empirical investigations of embalming-related issues which provide an analysis of contemporary meanings of the corpse and cast light upon the contemporary structure of the English funeral world. Embalmers expect to produce a culturally acceptable ‘death disguise’ for the benefit of mourners whose encounters with the corpse are surprisingly numerous in contemporary death-denying society. Culturally acceptable death images appear to focus upon the dead being in a condition of 'liminal repose', where the illusion of rest is constructed. Embalmers and funeral directors comprise occupations that are quite distinct, although working with the dead in different parts of the same process. Highlighting the significance of corpse appearance, whereby it is rendered 'normal', has also highlighted the socio-cultural process whereby this transformation occurs. As the dead are carefully re-presented, this has hidden the 'true' condition of the dead and therefore also hidden the covert technicians, embalmers, who accomplish this transformation. Embalming therefore appears a hidden aspect of the social construction of the dead, as death is now estranged from the popular context.

Abstract:
Thiel embalmed cadavers were first used by the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification, University of Dundee, in 2009, marking their introduction to the UK having been developed by Professor Walter Thiel in the University of Graz, Austria, over a thirty year period to 1992. The cadavers produced by the Thiel embalming method have many advantages over those produced by the more traditional formalin-phenol based method including a high degree of flexibility on par with in vivo conditions. However there is a distinct paucity of information regarding the way in which Thiel embalming affects the cadaveric tissues and the inherent implications for anatomical teaching and research. In addition, the Thiel solution uses formalin and boric acid, two chemicals which may be affected by changes in legislation governing their use within the EU. On that basis, the need to understand the effects of Thiel embalming on tissues, as well as the need to investigate the potential removal of formalin and boric acid from the Thiel solution, was acknowledged. This study presents an analysis of the effects of Thiel embalming using skeletal muscle and tendon samples, taken from an animal model, as these tissues are believed to be important to the flexibility of Thiel cadavers, using a number of methods. The way in which the effects are related to the flexibility caused is also considered in the context of existing relevant literature. In addition, the potential to remove and replace formalin and boric acid from the standard Thiel solution is also addressed. In assessing the effects of Thiel embalming solution on skeletal muscle and tendon, the aim of the thesis is to test the hypotheses that (i) changes in muscle and/or tendon structure, particularly in relation to collagen content, are responsible for the exaggerated flexibility seen in cadavers preserved using this method, (ii) it is the high salt content of Thiel embalming solution which is responsible for the change in tissue structure, and (iii) is it possible to replace the formalin and boric acid content of the Thiel solution and continue to successfully preserve specimens for anatomical teaching and research. The results of this study indicate that Thiel embalmed tissues, skeletal muscle in particular, undergo considerable histological modifications to their internal structure when compared to formalin and fresh samples whilst gross structure appears to remain intact through the maintenance of connective tissue integrity. This is supported by results which show a change in the biomechanical characteristics and protein content profile of target tissues. It is suggested that these changes are the basis for the increased flexibility observed in Thiel embalmed specimens. The results of a pilot study also indicate that it is possible to replace formalin and boric acid from the Thiel solution whilst maintaining successful preservation of specimens. A number of preservation techniques are considered throughout the study including Thiel, formalin and modified Thiel, and are compared to fresh samples as a control. A number of methods, including histological, biomechanical and protein analysis, are used to investigate differences between samples from each treatment group.

Abstract:
Le cérémonial funéraire qui suit la mort d'un roi se compose d'un ensemble d'étapes, appelées rites funéraires. Ces derniers débutent par l'exposition publique du corps où chacun peut venir se recueillir. Puis les étapes de l'autopsie et l'embaumement permettent de préserver le plus longtemps le corps royal de la putréfaction. Ces deux opérations sont pratiquées par les médecins et les chirurgiens du roi. Au cours de l'embaumement le cœur du roi est extrait pour être donné à un lieu préalablement identifié par le monarque. Se déroule ensuite l'exposition du cercueil et de l'effigie, mannequin de cire à la ressemblance du défunt. Elle représente le roi vivant couché sur un lit. Pour certains historiens , le mannequin est un substitut du corps qui permet une plus longue exposition du roi avant son inhumation sans portée politique. Pour d'autres, elle est une représentation politique de la continuité de la monarchie . Ce rite a entraîné l'apparition de pratiques comme celle de donner à manger au mannequin, comme si le roi était vivant. Le convoi funèbre clôt l'ensemble de ces rites composant le cérémonial funéraire des rois de France. Il mène, dans un premier temps, le cadavre royal à la Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Paris pour une messe, puis à la nécropole de Saint-Denis. Le corps est l'objet central de ce cérémonial.À partir de l'exemple des rituels funéraires identifiés pour Henri IV, ce mémoire met en évidence les continuités et les ruptures des rites funéraires entre ceux de la période médiévale et ceux des temps modernes. L'année 1610 marque en effet un tournant dans l'histoire du cérémonial funéraire des monarques français, dans la mesure où s'opère un processus de simplification des rituels tels qu'ils avaient été établis depuis la mort de Charles VIII en 1498. À titre d'exemple, l'effigie représentant le monarque vivant est abandonnée tout comme la cérémonie à Notre-Dame.Enfin, certaines funérailles de la famille d'Henri IV viennent alimenter la réflexion concernant ces changements funéraires : les exemples de sa première épouse répudiée, Marguerite de Valois, et seconde épouse, Marie de Médicis, morte en exil à Cologne, ainsi que ceux de deux de ses fils, le duc d'Orléans mort à l'âge de 4 ans, et le roi Louis XIII, son successeur mort de maladie. Tous ces précédents présentent des caractères particuliers, qui se retrouvent dans leurs rites funéraires
The funeral ceremonial that follows the death of a king consists of a set of steps, called funeral rites. The latter begin with the public exhibition of the body where everyone can come and meditate. Then the autopsy and embalming stages make it possible to preserve the royal body from putrefaction for as long as possible. Both operations were performed by the king's physicians and surgeons. During embalming, the king's heart is extracted to be given to a place previously identified by the monarch. This is followed by the exhibition of the coffin and the effigy, a wax mannequin in the likeness of the deceased. It depicts the living king lying on a bed. For some historians, the mannequin is a substitute for the body that allows for a longer exposure of the king before his burial without political significance. For others, it is a political representation of the continuity of the monarchy. This rite led to the appearance of practices such as feeding the mannequin, as if the king were alive. The funeral procession closes all these rites composing the funeral ceremony of the kings of France. He first led the royal corpse to Notre-Dame-de-Paris Cathedral for a mass, then to the necropolis of Saint-Denis. The body is the central object of this ceremony.Based on the example of the funerary rituals identified for Henry IV, this dissertation highlights the continuities and ruptures of funerary rites between those of the medieval period and those of modern times. The year 1610 marked a turning point in the history of the funeral ceremonial of French monarchs, insofar as a process of simplification of the rituals as they had been established since the death of Charles VIII in 1498 took place. For example, the effigy depicting the living monarch was abandoned, as was the ceremony at Notre-Dame.Finally, some funerals of Henri IV's family provide food for thought about these funeral changes : the examples of his repudiated first wife, Marguerite de Valois, and second wife, Marie de Medici, who died in exile in Cologne, as well as those of two of his sons, the Duke of Orléans, who died at the age of 4, and King Louis XIII, his successor died of illness. All these precedents have particular characteristics, which are reflected in their funeral rites

Abstract:
La méthode de conservation des cadavres selon Walter Thiel a été publiée en 1992. Cette technique, contrairement aux techniques classiques, permet de garder au cadavre une certaine souplesse, proche du sujet vivant. Depuis sa description initiale, cette technique s’est peu développée, malgré des possibilités très intéressantes pour les cliniciens soucieux d’apprendre et de perfectionner leurs gestes médico-chirurgicaux par simulation. En effet, la simulation en médecine est en train d’apporter une révolution pédagogique afin que les étudiants n’apprennent plus directement sur le patient les gestes à potentiel iatrogène important, mais sur des simulateurs. La question soulevée par notre travail est celle de ce double paradoxe : la technique de Thiel est très intéressante mais pourtant ne se développe pas beaucoup, et d’autre part, la simulation connait un essor considérable mais ne prend pas beaucoup en compte le potentiel de l’apprentissage sur cadavres. A la lumière de plusieurs travaux explorant divers aspects de la méthode de Thiel, nous démontrerons les possibilités des cadavres conservés par cette méthode en termes d’applications cliniques pour l’enseignement et la recherche par simulation en anesthésie et en chirurgie
Walter Thiel’s method for the preservation of cadavers was published in 1992. Unlike conventional preservation techniques, this method provides a spectacular lifelike flexibility. Despite of its interesting possibilities in learning and training for clinical practitioners, this technique has had a poor development around the world. Simulation represents a revolution in medical education because it allows students to train before act on real patients, particularly the situations with a high iatrogenic risk. The question raised by our work is that this double paradox: the Thiel’s method is very interesting but still not well developed, and secondly, the simulation has expanded enormously but does not take much account of the potential learning on cadavers. In several studies exploring various aspects of Thiel’s method, we will demonstrate the possibilities of cadavers preserved by this method in terms of clinical applications for teaching and research in the fields of simulation in anesthesia and surgery

Abstract:
This paper deals with the embalming process in ancient Egypt. Samples were collected from six objects from Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm. The objects were one supposed ladle and five different contents from pottery. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and gas- chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to characterize the components of the materials. The result was then correlated with previously made analysis of embalming materials to discover similarities. The results show complex mixtures mainly consisting of resin from Pinaceae origin, also beeswax, vegetable oil and Castor oil. Some samples show differences in the mixture, one dominated by cholesterylacetat. The results of the ladle samples is comparable to previous samples from other analysis and can therefore be confirmed as an embalming ladle.

Abstract:
Approximately 15,000 Americans suffer complications associated with inadequate sternal fixation after open-heart surgery each year [1]. Although alternative fixation methods exist, limitations of current device evaluation systems have led to uncertainty about the relative increase in stability that these novel devices provide, thereby diminishing their widespread clinical use. Sternal closure techniques are typically evaluated in situ where estimated sternal forces (180–400N) are applied to an intact chest [2] or in vitro on isolated sternal models [3]. The mechanical stability afforded by each technique is quantified as the resultant separation along the bisected sternal midline. This displacement is assumed to reflect micro-motion that would occur at the wound site under physiological loading, a critical factor during bony healing [4]. However, the loading in these studies is hardly physiological; it is generally simplified to a single direction and applied quasistatically to only a few discrete locations along the sternum without regard for the in vivo distribution of forces. It is also unclear whether the transfer of loads from sternum to fixation device during in situ tests [5](cadavers) accurately reflects loading in vivo due to the potential effects of rigor mortis and/or embalming. To improve the accuracy of current in situ and in vitro sternal fixation test methods it is essential to advance our knowledge of in vivo dynamic multi-directional sternal loading.

Abstract:
This urupā tautaiao (natural burials) research is a Marsden funded project with a decolonising agenda. It presents a pragmatic opportunity for Māori to re-evaluate, reconnect, and adapt ancient customs and practices for the modern world. The design practice output focus is the restoration of existing graves located in the urupā (burial ground) of the Ngāti Moko, a hapū (subtribe) of the Tapuika tribe that occupy ancestral land in central North Island of New Zealand. In preparation for the gravesite development, a series of hui a hapū (tribal meetings) were held to engage and encourage participation in the research. The final design which honours pre-contact customary practices, involved collaboration between the tribe, an ecologist, and a landscape architect. Hui a hapū included workshops exploring ancient burial practices. Although pre-contact Māori interred the dead in a variety of environmentally sustainable ways, funerary practices have dramatically shifted due to colonisation. Consequently, Māori have adopted environmentally damaging European practices that includes chemical embalming, concrete gravestones, and water and soil pollution. Mindful of tribal diversity, post-colonial tangihanga (customary Māori funerals) incorporate distinctively Māori and European, customary beliefs and practices. Fortuitously, they have also retained the essence of tūturu (authentic) Māori traditions that reinforce tribal identity and social cohesion. Tūturu traditions are incorporated into the design of the gravesite. Surrounded by conventional gravestones, and using only natural materials, the gravesite aspires to capture the beauty of nature embellished with distinctively Māori cultural motifs. Low maintenance native plants are intersected with four pou (traditional carvings)that carry pūrākau (Māori sacred narratives) of life and death. This dialectical concept is accentuated in the pou depicting Papatūānuku (Earth Mother). Etched into her womb is a coiled umbilical cord referencing life. Reminding us that, although in death we return to her womb, it is also a place that nurtures life. Hoki koe ki a Papatūānuku, ki te kōpū o te whenua (return to the womb of Papatūānuku) is often heard during ritual speeches at tangihanga. The pou also commemorates our connection to the gods. According to Māori beliefs, the primeval parents Papatūānuku (Earth) and Ranginui (Sky) genealogically link people and the environment together through whakapapa (kinship). Whakapapa imposes on humankind, kaitiakitanga (guardianship), responsibility for the wellbeing of the natural environment. In death, returning to Papatūānuku in a natural way, gives credence to kaitiakitanga. This presentation focuses on a project that encourages Māori to embrace culturally compatible burials that are affordable, environmentally responsible, and visually aesthetic. It also has the potential to encourage other indigenous communities to explore their own alternative, culturally unique and innovative ways to address modern death and burial challenges.
