The intentional injury chapter has additional material on head trauma, the biomechanics of injury, neonaticide, suicide, and subtle and unusual trauma. The chapter on non-intentional injury has also been expanded to reflect more accurately its importance as a cause of death. Deaths in the first week of life are also covered. In addition, this new edition addresses the full range of natural causes of death and their pathological investigation undertaken in light of advances in our understanding of genetic susceptibility and pathophysiology."--BOOK JACKET Notes Includes bibliographical references and index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Sudden infant death syndrome.
