Abstract

Determination of sex is valuable in forensic investigations. Forensic odontology plays a major role due to the hardness and chemical stability of teeth. This study was done to find out the utility of mandibular canine crown dimensions as a tool for sex determination in North Indian population. Crown length and mesiodistal width of right and left mandibular canines were measured on the 60 casts and analyzed to assess sex difference using Students ‘t’ test. The canine crown parameters as measured for males and females when compared were found to be statistically significant. However, when these parameters were compared between left and right sides for the same sex, they were found to be statistically insignificant.

Abstract

Introduction: Impotency in male is inability to develop or maintain a sufficient penile erection to conclude the act of intercourse to orgasm and ejaculation. The question of potency arises in many lawsuits in civil and criminal courts. In India, potency testing which includes penile color doppler with injection papaverine is done for all accused of sexual assault as a blanket rule. Penile color doppler with injection papaverine has its own limitations and side effects. Our study therefore aims to analyze and ascertain the justification of subjecting each accused of sexual assault to penile color doppler with injection papapverine.Aims and Objectives:1. To analyse whether evaluating potency in every medico legal case of sexual assault referred to our department using color doppler with injection papaverine is justified.2. To recommend changes based on our study.Method: This study is a retrospective analysis of data of 166 accused of sexual assault, between the period of May 2015-April 2018. Baseline ultrasound and penile color doppler assessment of erection following papaverine injection was done.Results: Procedure was performed on 166 accused of sexual assault, of whom the, 3 (1.80%) had arterial insufficiency. 6 (3.61%) accused on whom the procedure was performed developed priapism as complication. The rate of complications was found to be double than the positive result of the procedure.Conclusion: We conclude from our study that, due to limited role and complications of penile doppler and change in the definition of rape and laws related to it, overburdened health infrastructure of our country, every accused of sexual assault should not be subjected to penile color doppler study

Abstract

The astonishing task of determining the identity of an individual has been simplified, with the innovation of scientific technologies like DNA fingerprinting in the developed countries. Yet the application of such advanced technologies in developing countries is still a daunting task due to its complexity. Anthropometric analysis for the identification of unknown bodies is reasonably productive owing to its inexpensiveness. The aim of this study was to correlate the anthropometric measurements of the thyroid cartilage with the stature of the individual. Thyroid cartilages from 300 post mortem cases done in native population of Punjab were studied anthropometrically. A total of seventeen anthropometric measurements of selected parameters of thyroid cartilage were defined, measured, and statistically correlated with the body length of the individual. The variables which were significantly correlating with the body length were further analysed by regression analysis for derivation of a regression equation.

Abstract

Poisoning is a common day to day problem. Profile of poisoning in an area depends upon a variety of factors, ranging from access to and availability of poison, socio-economic status of the individual, cultural and religious influences, etc. A prospective study was carried out in the Department of Forensic medicine, Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital Bangalore to study the socio- demographic profiling of deaths due to poisoning. Out of the 100 cases studied, incidence of poisoning was found to be more amongst the age group of 21 to 30 years in both sexes with mean age being 25.4 years and 25.4 years amongst males and females respectively. Poisoning is more in males (68%) as compared to females. In both the sexes, married (68%) outnumbered the unmarried in rural and urban community. This study shows that maximum number of poisoning cases were noticed among Upper Lower socio economic Class and in Nuclear families(61%). It was observed that majority of the victims were Graduate (28%).Financial constraints(22%) were the most common motive behind poisoning deaths.

Abstract

The study of the relative positions of astronomical objects and their movements is called Astrology. It is used as a means for deriving information about terrestrial planets and affairs of humans. The fear of the unknown is the primary reason for the current fascination with horoscopes. The beliefs are different among different cultures and every country has their own belief systems. Some of the beliefs and superstitions of Indians are seen to have been passed on from generation to generation. The Aim of the study is to co-relate the death with life line. Plotting the data against the age for correlation in scattered diagram it was observed that it did not reflect the life span of the individuals. Though people have belief in different aspects of astrology, this study proves that the there is no scientific basis to the claims of palmistry.

Abstract

Agar-Paraffin double embedding technique is a simple technique that combines the advantages of both the embedding material. It preserves the minute tissue biopsies in orientation and holds them together from getting lost. Oral biopsies, being most commonly small incisional tissues, have to be preserved all through the processing and embedding to ensure optimal visualization of all the mucosal layers without compromise. In the present study, samples were divided into two groups: Group A: Agar-paraffin double embedding (APE) and Group B: conventional paraffin embedding (PE). Tissue samples collected were sectioned into two approximately equal sized bits. Both the bits were simultaneously processed, embedded in two different techniques (APE and PE method). Sections obtained were scored by an observer and analyzed using independent sample t-test (SPSS software version 21) to evaluate the efficacy of agar-paraffin double embedding technique in comparison to the conventional paraffin embedding technique. Agar paraffin embedded tissue was found to be well processed, firm and well preserved. Orientation was comparatively easier and the blocks yielded sections of good quality. They showed no interference with staining and cell morphology was of good clarity. Thus Agar-paraffin embedding technique represents a simple, reliable method that can greatly improve the quality of diagnostic information.

Abstract

Objective: We conducted this study to do epidemiological and clinical profiling of the patients with snake bite in a tertiary care referral centre, situated in suburban area of Dakshin Kannada district, Karnataka, south India.Materials and Method: This retrospective, record based study was done by analysing medical records of all the patients of snake bite admitted over 5years from June 2015 to July 2019. It included demographic details and clinical profiling. Based on presenting complaint, clinical sign/symptoms and laboratory reports snake envenomation patients were divided into neurotoxic and hemotoxic group. The severity grading, amount of ASV used and outcome assessed in both the groups.Results: Total 108 patient records were analysed, maximum of which were males (64.8%) in age group of 15-30 years (46.2%). In majority of the cases the species of snake was not identified (67.5%). Dry bites were reported in 40.7% cases, among envenomated cases, 68.7% presented with hemotoxic syndrome, 29.7% with neurotoxic syndrome and 0.9% had both the features. In all envenomated patients with increasing bite to needle time, the grade of severity, amount of used ASV, duration of hospital stay and complications were found to increase.Conclusion: Snake bite is a neglected life threatening condition, which is a preventable disease. Tourniquet is still very commonly used first aid technique, which can be deleterious. The lack of education and awareness about snake bite management was evident and active mass education is clearly needed.

Abstract

Personal identification is of paramount importance in the forensic odontology for ethical, humanitarian and criminal investigations. In forensic odontology, scientific methods using DNA is considered to be the gold standard method of identification; however, it’s expensive and time-consuming approach have circumvented the need for less expensive and faster methods of identification. The latest inexpensive approach of quantifying evidences for identification of suspect in crime is using lip print, fingerprint, palatal rugae & blood grouping and this has gained tremendous importance in the present days. Hence, the aim of the present study is to correlate and compare Cheiloscopy, Dactyloscopy and Palatoscopy with blood group and Rh factor. Method: A total of 200 dental students between the age group18 to 25 years were included in the study. Lip print, finger print and palatal rugae patterns with ABO blood groups were collected and compared using Chi square test. The data was analysed using SPSS version 10.0 statistical package. Results & Conclusion: Statistically significant correlation existed between lip print and ABO-Rh factors (?2statistic = 37.56, p value <0.05) and between finger prints and ABO-Rh factors (?2 statistic = 30.6, p value < 0.05). No association was found between palatal rugae with ABO-Rhesus blood groups (?2 statistic = 17.71, p value >0.05).
