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 arteri

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 us

Abstract:

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

It has been done the manufacture of Salak embalming machine for partners of Lopo Salak inPadangsidempuan. This machine can be used to assist partners in the process of embalming Salak to produce good quality and guaranteed freshness. The steps in the manufacture of this machine start from the design, the provision of tools and materials, manufacture and test the machine. The results show that the machine works optimally with the average production of salak 25 kg/hour due to embalming. In addition, the embalming machine has a propulsion engine that serves as the embalming and drying of Salak.

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 ar

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 effe

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 emba

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

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

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 th

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.

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. S
