Abstract

Microplastics (plastic particles <5 millimeters in diameter) have become a novel food contaminant for humans.Microplastics was estimated that children consume 106-113 microplastics per day and 126-142 particles in adults.The main prevention effort is to identify the presence of plastic particles in food, one of which is sugar. Microplasticsthat are in the digestive tract can enter the bloodstream and distributed to other parts of the body. These particlescannot be destroyed by the body's cellular mechanisms, thus triggering inflammation, genotoxicity, hypersensitivity,oxidative stress, and cell death. The aim of the study was to measure the number of particles, shape and diameter ofplastic particles as contaminants in refined sugar produced in Indonesia. Quantitative descriptive research using 16sugar brands that are produced, known and widely consumed in Indonesia. The research was carried out at theClinical Pathology Laboratory, Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University. Quantification of the number, shapeand diameter of plastic particles using a microscope. The examination results showed that all sugar samples containedplastic particles between 5-100 MPs/50 gram of sugar, most of the contaminants were in the form of pellets, and thelargest particle diameter was 367µm.

Abstract

Suicide remains a major public health concern worldwide, with hanging being the most common method of self-inflicted death, particularly among adolescents and young adults. In Indonesia, similar patterns are observed among youth, driven by psychosocial stressors, academic pressure, and untreated psychiatric disorders. This case report presents a hanging incident involving a 20-year-old female found suspended by a scarf in her dormitory room, and emphasizes the medicolegal standpoint required to distinguish suicidal hanging from homicidal strangulation. Findings included full suspension from a door frame using a single-looped scarf with a square knot positioned at the high posterior neck, an oblique, non-continuous ligature mark, pale conjunctiva and lip mucosa, cyanosis of the lips and nail beds, livor mortis and rigor mortis consistent with suspension, and absence of defensive injuries. Internal examination and toxicological analysis were not conducted. The external examination findings strongly support ante-mortem hanging as the mechanism of death due to asphyxia from neck compression, with the manner of death most consistent with suicide. The presence of prior self-harm scars and the absence of features suggestive for homicidal strangulation further support this interpretation. This case illustrates a typical presentation of high-point full-suspension suicidal hanging. However, the absence of internal examination limits definitive confirmation of the cause of death. Accurate medicolegal standpoint requires a scene investigation, external and internal examinations, and toxicological analysis, to reliably distinguish suicide from homicide and accidental hanging.
