Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In 2023, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary volume of the journal Healthcare (IF 2.8), and we would like to invite you to join us in celebrating this wonderful occasion.

Healthcare is an international, scientific, peer-reviewed, open access journal on healthcare systems, industry, technology, policy, and regulation, and is published semimonthly online by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Healthcare is undoubtedly a rapidly developing journal.

In recognition of this significant milestone, we are launching a Special Issue entitled “The 10th Anniversary of Healthcare—Forensic Medicine”. This Special Issue will include high-quality papers on topics within the broad scope of Healthcare. We will consider manuscripts that investigate the traditional fields of scientific application of forensic medicine as an activity to support the application of criminal law, such as forensic anthropology, forensic hemogenetics, forensic toxicology, in their most significant and modern scientific expressions, but also to propose and study the most recent fields of interest of the medico-legal disciplines. It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute an original research paper or a comprehensive review article for peer review and possible publication in Healthcare.

Prof. Mariano Cingolani
Guest Editor

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial aneurysms. However, they are associated with a mortality rate of over 50%. The case presented herein focuses on a posterior communicating artery TICA caused by violent aggression. A 41-year-old man with massive subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), on admission to hospital, had a CT angiography that showed a ruptured left posterior communicating artery aneurysm with continuous blood loss and underwent neurosurgical cooling. The CT scan also showed fractures of the mandible, mastoid and left styloid process, as well as brain contusions caused by blows and kicks. Despite medical treatment and surgery, after four days, he died. The assault dynamics were recorded by a camera in the bar. The damage was caused by kicks to the neck and head. The forensic neuropathological examination showed the primary injury (SAH, subdural hemorrhage, cerebral contusions, head–neck fractures), as well as secondary damage following the attack (cerebral infarcts, edema, supratentorial hernia, midbrain hemorrhage). The coil was intact and well positioned. In this case, circumstantial information, medical records, and the type of injury could shed light on the mechanism of the production of a TICA. In addition, the CT angiography and histological investigations helped to distinguish a recent and traumatic aneurysm from a pre-existing one. Following precise steps, the study of aneurysms can be helpful in clarifying their traumatic origin even when the victim was taking drugs. The aim of this study is also to share the diagnostic process that we used in the forensic field for the assessment of suspected traumatic aneurysms. Full article
