(1) Background: the present study continues previous research on new marking techniques by using intelligent materials, NFC-tags (Near Field Communication tags) and Aerogel. They prevent the loss of information over time for cadavers of unknown identities in various stages of destruction or unknown living victims, as well as missing persons who have lost or are concealing their identity. (2) Methods: this study consisted of a technological and an experimental stage. In the technological stage, two different sizes were used: round (Ø 1 cm, 0.1 mm thickness, 0.1 g weight) and square (5/5/0.1 mm), both with a 140 byte memory and high-temperature resistance (at max. 200 °C), (by the classical producing technology). After loading the identification information on the NFC-tags, they were embedded (either alone or protected by Aerogel) in the sample dentures using a new “sandwich technique” method, before the polymerization process. In the experimental stage, the sample dentures with the new materials were exposed to various damaging environments such as liquid media (sea water, fresh water, alcohol 40%, and HCl 0.2%) in order to test the time resistance of the identification elements. The samples were monitored and tested over four years. (3) Results: the information stored on the NFC tags was retrieved unaltered at the end of the monitoring period, regardless of the damage caused by the liquid media to the sample denture material and will provide an innovative solution as compared to other labeling methods. (4) Conclusion: the use of intelligent materials for labeling acrylic dentures provides additional reliability by preserving the identification information over time.

Rationale: Accurate identification of victims in postcrash scenarios presents significant forensic challenges, particularly when the remains are extensively burned, fragmented, or carbonized. This study focused on multiple victims of 2 aircraft crashes, highlighting the intricate methods and obstacles encountered during their identification. Patient concerns: Severe thermal damage, widespread tissue degradation, and advanced carbonization have hindered traditional identification techniques, requiring a multidisciplinary forensic approach that combines DNA analysis, dental profiling, tattoo recognition, and artifact examination. Diagnoses: In addition to establishing the causes of death, which also required histopathological examinations, the difficulty involved in assigning the identity of each corpse made the forensic pathologists resort to all the information and details they could observe during the autopsy. Interventions: Personal objects such as jewelry, tattoos, and prosthetic devices helped to reconstruct the identity of each corpse, in some cases being assigned identification by exclusion. Outcomes: Severe cranial fractures, rib and thoracic injuries, and extensive organ damage, such as pulmonary contusions, alveolar hemorrhages, and hepatic lacerations, were consistently observed in all cases. Forensic dental identification, which, in the present case, helped identify one of the victims through dental analysis. Lessons: This study highlights the critical role of the identification of victims in circumstances in which the body is largely destroyed and underlines the importance and necessity of forensic identification through dental identification methods, which potentially represent one of the most effective methods that retain their accuracy regardless of the degree of destruction of the corpse.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a major global public health concern with profound psychological and social consequences for women. This review synthesizes contemporary evidence (2020–2025) on IPV prevalence, mental health outcomes, and healthcare implications among female populations worldwide. Methods: 18 peer-reviewed studies, encompassing approximately 62,000 women across various countries, were analyzed for study design, sample characteristics, IPV prevalence, and associated outcomes. Results: IPV prevalence varied widely across studies, ranging from 15% in population-based antenatal samples to over 85% among incarcerated or trauma-exposed groups. Across studies reporting mental health outcomes, depression prevalence ranged from 20% to over 50%, while PTSD prevalence ranged from approximately 30% to 70%, depending on measurement tools and population characteristics. No pooled estimates were calculated. IPV survivors showed higher emergency department use (2.6-fold), inpatient admissions (2.2-fold), and healthcare costs (2.2-fold) compared with non-exposed women. Emerging interventions, such as digital safety programs, behavioral antenatal packages, and validated screening tools, demonstrated encouraging effectiveness. Conclusions: IPV remains widespread and linked to psychological distress and elevated healthcare burden. Integration of routine screening, trauma-informed mental health services, and multisectoral prevention frameworks is essential to mitigate its enduring impact on women’s health and well-being.
