Abstract (EN): Forensic medicine deals with a wide variety of cases. To accomplish the main objectives, this professional field needs to adopt and apply findings from other sciences, namely, different medical specialties and other forensic sciences. The opposite is not yet entirely true due to the fact that forensic medicine deals with cases that are very far away from other medical and scientific interests. It is obvious that this forgotten world of forensic medicine ... is also a new world of opportunities and challenges to research in all scientific areas. (C) 2013 IMSS. Published by Elsevier Inc.
