I’m pretty sure forensic science is a health science profession... but
1. Accurately represent his/her education, training, experience, and areas of expertise.
2. Pursue professional competency through training, proficiency testing, certification, and presentation and publication of research findings.
3. Commit to continuous learning in the forensic disciplines and stay abreast of new findings, equipment and techniques.
4. Promote validation and incorporation of new technologies, guarding against the use of non-valid methods in casework and the misapplication of validated methods.
5. Avoid tampering, adulteration, loss, or unnecessary consumption of evidentiary materials.
6. Avoid participation in any case where there are personal, financial, employment-related or other conflicts of interest.
7. Conduct full, fair and unbiased examinations, leading to independent, impartial, and objective opinions and conclusions.
8. Make and retain full, contemporaneous, clear and accurate written records of all examinations and tests conducted and conclusions drawn, in sufficient detail to allow meaningful review and assessment by an independent person competent in the field.
9. Base conclusions on generally-accepted procedures supported by sufficient data, standards and controls, not on political pressure or other outside influence.
10. Do not render conclusions that are outside one’s expertise.
11. Prepare reports in unambiguous terms, clearly distinguishing data from interpretations and opinions, and disclosing all known associated limitations that prevent invalid inferences or mislead the judge or jury.
12. Do not alter reports or other records, or withhold information from reports for strategic or tactical litigation advantage.
13. Present accurate and complete data in reports, oral and written presentations and testimony based on good scientific practices and validated methods.
14. Communicate honestly and fully, once a report is issued, with all parties (investigators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and other expert witnesses), unless prohibited by law.
15. Document and notify management or quality assurance personnel of adverse events, such as an unintended mistake or a breach of ethical, legal, scientific standards, or questionable conduct.
16. Ensure reporting, through proper management channels, to all impacted scientific and legal parties of any adverse event that affects a previously issued report or testimony. Recommendations for Implementation The National Commission on Forensic Science recommends that all forensic science and forensic
The epiglottis is a cartilaginous leaf-shaped structure of the larynx that is composed of elastic cartilage. It's shape is similar to the shape of the purslane leaf and is found in the throat of a human, <u>behind the tongue and the hyoid bone.</u>
It prevents the food from entering the trachea and is covered with the mucous membrane.The stem of epiglottis is attached to the thyroid cartilage.
There is no proof that vitamin E or selenium supplementation helps stop prostate cancer.
Those who entered the trial with elevated selenium levels saw an increased impact of potential prostate cancer, whether selenium was taken alone or in conjunction with vitamin E, but not men who started the research with moderate selenium levels.
According to this meta-analysis, selenium most likely has a preventive function in preventing prostate cancer from developing and progressing to advanced stages. So, selenium treatment can be suggested for prostate cancer prevention.
For certain enzymes and proteins, known as selenoproteins, to function and guard against cellular damage and infections, as well as help build DNA and regulate the synthesis of thyroid hormones, selenium is a necessary component.
