Abstract

Intoduction: Determination of age in both living and dead plays a pivotal role in medicolegal cases.There are various parameters to assess the age by physical characteristics, odontological developmentbut the most valuable method seems to be the osteological changes observed by radiological examinationie., the appearance and fusion of secondary ossification centres around respective joints The presentstudy was conducted on 131 subjects out of which 110 were males and 21 were females. The main aimof the study was to find the age of fusion of secondary ossification centres around elbow and wrist joint,to compare the distribution of fusion of ossification centres between males and femalesMethods: Firstly informed consent was taken. Preliminary details of each individual was noted thatincluded general examination, physical examination, dental examination followed by taking X-ray APview of elbow and wrist joint for radiological examination. The results were noted based on the degreeof fusion as No Union (O), Beginning union(B), Recent union(R), Complete union(C).Results: The present study showed among males, the fusion for each ossification centre around elbowjoint started by 15-16 years and was completed by 18-19 years whereas in females it started fusion by15-16 years but complete fusion occurred around 16-17 years itself . In wrist joint the fusion starts at16-17 years in males but only fusion of lower end of ulna is completed by 18-19 years, however bothlower end of radius and ulna are fused by 18-19 years in females.Conclusion: Based on the analysis of fusion of ossification centres it shows that both thecentres aroundelbow and wrist joint fuses earlier in females by 1-2 years than males.

Abstract

Introduction : Lip prints are an adjuvant tool for identification in forensic medicine. The grooves onthe lips have discrete characteristics to make it different from one other. This study was conductedon 24 pairs of twins out of which 22 pairs were Monozygotic twins and 2 pairs were Dizygotictwins. Dizygotic twins are unique in all aspects while Monozygotic twins are similar phenotypicallyand genotypically. The objective of this study is to find the most common pattern in the twins , thecommonest pattern among the male and female twins and to know the variations in the pattern of lipprints among Monozygotic and Dizygotic twins.Materials and Methods: A lipstick, drawing chart and magnifying lens were the materials used torecord the imprints of the lips. A four compartment method with a clockwise direction approach wasused and the analysis was done based on Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification.Results: The present study shows Type 1’ was the most common lip prints observed among the 24pairs of twins. This pattern was predominantly present in the right lower lip quadrant. Out of the studysubjects of 24 pairs of twins, 38 were males and 10 were females in which Type I ‘ is common in malesand type I is common in females. Among the monozygotic twins those which had < 50 % resemblancewere 14 pairs, 50% resemblance were 6 pairs, >50% resemblance were 2 pairs in which Type is thecommonest. Among the dizygotic twins, both the pairs were totally different from each other yet Typewas the common pattern.Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the lip print patterns among monozygotic twins, though similaritieswere prevailing between them , they are not identical .Whereas among dizygotic twins both the pairs oftwins are unique. Hence Lip print can be utilized as a differentiating tool for identification.

Abstract

In our study we have a tendency to synthesized schiff’ base of bactericide drug sulphamethoxazole on treating with aromatic aldehydes like p-diethyl amino benzyldehyde and p-dimethyl amino benzyldehyde. The synthesized schiff’s bases were regenerate to its ion Schiff bases by treating with methyl group halide. The ion Schiff bases were regenerate to metal complexes by treating with metals like CuCl2, ZnCl2 and CdCl2. All the synthesized compounds were characterised by Elemental analysis, IR andH proton magnetic resonance. Docking study was performed to know the interaction of binding sites with protein receptor using MAO-B enzymes (PDB ID: 2BK5) and COX-2 enzyme (PDB ID: 5IKR) by Virtual Screening software for Computational Drug Discovery. Synthesized metal complexes were evaluated for antibacterial, anti inflammatory and antidepressant activity. Copper metal complexes showed potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity. Significant anti-depressant activity was shown for 2A2 and 2B2 zinc metal complexes

Abstract

Introduction: The data regarding pediatric deaths are very limited particularly in developing countries due to lacunae in death registration system. The present study is a retrospective study regarding the causes which resulted in the deaths of children in pediatric age group from 0-12 yrs with an aim to know the overall incidence, the causes of death and manner of death. Unnatural childhood deaths are not only associated with intense trauma and distress, but also indicates a sense of self neglect to protect children from harm. The unnatural deaths may be due to unintentional or intentional acts.Materials and Methods: This study is a retrospective demographic study of unnatural deaths among pediatric age group children between 0-12 years. All the unnatural deaths that were autopsied at the mortuary, General Hospital, Khammam of Telangana state for a period of 2 years from August 2012 to July 2014 were studied based on inquest, post mortem examination findings to know the profile of paediatric deaths.Results and Conclusion: A total of 1283 cases were autopsied during the study period and out of that 2.4% of cases are unnatural deaths in pediatric age group of 0-12 years. The most commonly involved are male children in the age groups of the cases observed were between 3- 6 years and 9-12 years, the least involved age group was between 0- 3 years. Most common manner of death is accidental amounting to about 93.3%.Most common cause of death was due to road traffic accidents. These deaths are common in the rural population belonging to the low socio economic status.

Abstract

Cannabis has been the most commonly used drug throughout the world for centuries. The psychoactiveproperties of cannabis are largely attributed to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the active psychoactiveingredient in the cannabis plant. Lately, new psychoactive substances (NPS) have appeared that aremostly ruled by cathinone’s and synthetic cannabinoids (SCs). SC’s have emerged as drugs of abusebecause of their ability to mimic the euphoric effects of THC. Sprayed on natural herb mixtures, theywere initially sold as ‘herbal incense’ or ‘herbal smoking blends’ as substitutes for cannabis. Thesesynthetic drugs became popular as ‘legal highs’ under brand names such as Spice, K2, Mojo and manyothers in the early 2000’s. SC’s stimulate the same CB1 and CB2 receptors as THC but they are linkedto higher toxicity in terms of duration and severity than cannabis. This is because SC’s act as directagonist of cannabinoid receptors, whereas THC being a partial agonist. Reports suggest that SC’s areassociated with a range of undesired pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal effects. Long term SCuse is also linked to severe cognitive deficits. With the global rise in use of SC products, it is importantto develop and validate the screening procedures and investigate the toxicological and pharmacologicalaspects and risk factors associated with its use and abuse.

Abstract

Background: Smoking as a practice has been in existence since 5000 B.C. Smoking in public places was banned in India from 2nd October 2008. According to reports by WHO Tobacco kills more than 7 million people each year. Studies show that few people understand the specific health risks of tobacco use. The present study was done to analyze the impact of the Anti-smoking Campaign in the Institutes’ Campus and also to make people aware of the harmful effects of smoking and motivate them to quit this habit.Methodology: The campaign constituted of various interventions as screening & collection, monitoring through CCTV Surveillance, imposing penalty as per the Act, Destruction of collected material, Behavioral change communication through Anti-smoking March, Public Lectures, Display of Pamphlets/Signages at various places in the institute & No smoking Pledge and involvement of top management.Results: Total about 2613 Kgs of Tobacco and Tobacco products has been collected and destroyed from March 2014 till April 2020. On an average 40 Kilograms of Tobacco material is collected and destroyed per month. Till April 2020, 108 offenders who were caught smoking in the institute were penalized. ‘No smoking Pledge’ was taken by all the participants. Conclusion: The success achieved by the anti-smoking campaign in the Institute suggests that there is a dire need and challenge before us to launch such type of campaigns in all the institutes worldwide to curb this menace from our society.
