  • Title: Scanning electron microscopic ultrastructural alterations of the pulmonary alveolus in experimental drowning.
    Author: Torre C, Varetto L, Tappi E.
    Journal: J Forensic Sci; 1983 Oct; 28(4):1008-12. PubMed ID: 6631357.
    Abstract:
    Scanning electron microscopic structural and ultrastructural alterations of alveolar wall in experimental drowning are described. The results obtained confirm the literature's data. Peculiar microlesions affecting Type I alveolar cells, the basement membrane, and sometimes the capillary endothelium could also be observed. Finally, Type II alveolar cells show alterations which could be related with a possible direct action of the drowning liquid.
