Abstract

The alarming number of deaths due to snake bite are often under-reported and missed due to severalinterrelated socioeconomic factors. Epidemiology of fatal snake bite have been reported sparsely fromWest Bengal in recent past .The present investigation was devised to explore the profile of the fatal casesof envenomation in snake bite from a district of northern part of West Bengal. Deaths due to snake biteconstituted 02.067% of all unnatural deaths from mortuary data. The mean age of the cases of fatal snakebite was 34.18 with SD 2.67. It was seen that the mean interval between bite and treatment was 3.35 hourswith SD 0.48. The present work was a short regional research to supplement epidemiology and add to thedatabase of deaths from snake bite in a district of West Bengal, India.

Abstract

Background -Thoracic trauma is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in developing worldcountries. Complications in chest trauma develop secondary to rib fractures and subsequently leading topain, inadequate ventilation as well as direct injury to lung parenchyma due to fractured rib segments.Methods - In this study, we present our 2 year experience (August 2017 to August 2019) in the managementand clinical outcome of 236 chest trauma cases as a result of road traffic accidents. Patients were dividedinto three groups based on the presence of rib fractures. The groups were evaluated to demonstrate therelationship between the numbers of rib fractured and associated injuries.Results – Mean hospitalization time was 7.5 days. Mortality rate was 1 % for the patients with only bluntchest trauma, 4 % in patients with more than two rib fractures and 20 % for those with flail chest. We foundthat there is significant association between the mortality rate and the number of ribs fractured, the patient’sage as well time since the accident.Conclusion – Risk of increased morbidity and mortality was associated with presence of more than two ribfractures, age over 60 years and delayed hospitalization after the injury

Abstract

The present study was designed to measure the inter-rater reliability between two observers in opining andgrading the degree of fusion of the secondary centres of ossification using digital and conventional X ray.Attempt was made to examine whether the digital x-ray is superior to conventional X-ray as regards theinterrater reliability. It was found that The Kappa score ranged from 0.560 to 0.761 for conventional x-rayfilms; whereas it ranged from 0.840 to 0.946 in case of digital x-rays. Interrater agreement was noted tobe near perfect using digital x ray for all the centres of ossification applied in the study .The accuracy ofdigital radiography in age determination by observing the fusion activity at elbow, wrist and pelvis (UsingSchmeling’s staging) will be superior than conventional radiography

Abstract

Contriving an opinion of cause of death is something that requires a good expertise in the subject knowledgeand the right set of discriminative skills. The immediate and basic causes of death, circumstances surroundingthe death, and the investigation findings of police officers are all the necessary prerequisites to be gathered,before formulating an opinion. Decisions on the cause of death most often de facto will decide the mannerof death.A forensic pathologist can give causes of death in a logical sequential manner. Hume’s and Mill’s philosophyis something to be always borne in the mind of a forensic pathologist. Istanbul Protocol is the only literaturementioning as to how to opine an effect, with respect to the causes or circumstances that led to the effect.This can be extrapolated to have five different compartmentalised categories of opinions. Unless there iscertain uniformity in opining, the more are the chances of confusion among our fraternity and the judiciary
