Abstract

Abortion is one of the commonest reasons for acute presentation to gynecologists, recurrent spontaneousabortion due to maternal infections transmissible in uterus at various stage of gestation can be causedby a wide array of organisms including cytomegalovirus. This study included (25) aborted women, (25)non- aborted women with cytomegalovirus seropositive test as a patients groups and (25) non- abortedwomen with cytomegalovirus seronegative test as a control group. The study was designed to evaluate theconcentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) as an oxidative stress marker, the concentration of ceruloplasmin(Cp) and transferrin (Tf) as an antioxidant marker and total vitamin D in cytomegalovirus infected womenand investigate the relation between oxidative stress and total vitamin D. The results show a significantdecrease in levels of serum MDA in aborted group with CMV in comparison to non-*-aborted and controlgroups (p> 0.05), serum ceruloplasmin and transferrin significantly decrease in aborted group in contrast tonon-aborted and control groups (p > 0.05) and total vitamin D was decreased in all study groups but therewas a significant difference between studied groups (p > 0.05). The results of this study show disorder inlevels of (MDA, Cp, Tf and VD) aborted group with cytomegalovirus.

Abstract

Methanol is a clear, colorless, highly toxic alcohol widely used as paint, varnish removers, automotiveradiators, and washer fluid. Methanol intoxication incidence can be due to accidental, occupational,suicidal exposure or following an adulterated liquor’s ingestion. Methanol is not toxic itself but will bemetabolized to the exceedingly poisonous formaldehyde and formic acid. Methanol ingestion ends inwide anion-gap metabolic acidosis and devastating neurological complications, including drowsinessto coma and devastating intracranial hemorrhages. Severe toxicities can occur with an intake of 0.25ml/kg of 100% methanol. The blood level of methanol above 25 mg/dl is considered highly toxic.Methanol reaches its peak plasma levels within an hour. Treatment guidelines include antidotal therapy,hemodialysis, and metabolic acidosis correction. Due to methanol’s poisoning severity and graveoutcome of the affected cases, we had to present 4 case series for methanol intoxication, each with itsclinical manifestations and laboratory findings, to enlighten the medical practitioners about possiblecauses, presentations, and treatment modalities of such severe toxicity.Four methanol poisoning case series with different presentations were discussed in the current work.A questionnaire about methanol poisoning awareness was distributed through the ER physicians’ andnurses’ mail to investigate their ability to diagnose and treat methanol poisoning cases.More training of ER medical staff on toxicological presentations is highly recommended. Clinical andanalytical toxicologists should have a more prominent role in the management of such cases. Morelight and international publicity should be shed upon the methanol toxicity outbreaks encounteredglobally, with frequently updating the diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines following an evidencebasedapproach are highly recommended.

Abstract

Background: Within the last years, forgery has markedly increased and expanded to encompasscomputers and printers’ usage, their wide evolution facilitated the production of fraudulent printeddocuments by even non-experts. The printers and photocopiers leave their imprints on the produceddocuments. Examination of printed output of a questioned document is essential as it providesinformation about the producing device.This study aims to compare the characteristics of different computer printed documents to identify thetype of the producing output devices (photocopier, inkjet, and laser printers).Methods: 132 documents were typed and printed using different models of inkjet, laser printersand photocopiers. The produced documents were examined with direct light digital microscope andultraviolet light and the printed markings were compared.Conclusion: Our results revealed that each class of the studied printing devices induced specific criteriaon the examined printed documents. These criteria are class characteristics but differ from one type ofdevice to another.

Abstract

Introduction: Fingerprints and Lip prints has its reliability for its uniqueness and can be used solelyas an aid in identification for civil and criminal cases. Hence a correlation between the fingerprints andlip prints can bring up a new approach or idea in the field of Forensic Medicine for solving medicolegalcases. The present study was conducted on 25 pairs of twins with the main objective to find any existingcorrelation between fingerprints and lip prints and to determine the most predominant finger print andlip print pattern among Twin A and Twin B individually.Materials and Methods: The study was done is subjects age ranging from 6-18 years. A proforma withsubject particulars and consent form was prepared. Lip prints were obtained in a drawing chart, themiddle part of the lower lip was analysed based on Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification. Fingerprint ofleft thumb finger was obtained in a white paper and analysed based on Henry’s system of classification.Results: The present study showed that there was no significant correlation between the Lip prints andFingerprints in Twins with p value >0.001. Among twin A and twin B the most predominant Lip printpattern was Type I’ and the Fingerprint pattern was Loop pattern respectively.Conclusion: Lip prints and Fingerprints are two important parameters for an individual in identification.There are various studies till now in individuals but very few in twins. So, in this study we made anattempt to find the correlation between the parameters, whether they were existing or not and found thatthere was no significant correlation yet can be used as a separate tool. Hence it is essential to performfurther studies on a larger group and create a database for getting accurate results.

Abstract

Background: Sex hormones of steroid origin - androgens, play an important role in the life of thebody. They are involved in the regulation of bone maturation, gonadotropin secretion and the synthesisof high-density lipids, the production of β-endorphins. Along with the anabolic effect, androgensregulate libido and sexual potency, stimulate the function of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.At physiological concentrations, androgens participate in the regression mechanism of the follicle inthe ovaries and provide pubic hair and inguinal hair growth .The present study was conducted withthe aim the possibility of using PSA for the diagnosis of hyper androgenic conditions in women. Thestudy included 105 girls aged 17–26 were examined. The concentration in the peripheral blood ofPSA and a androgens, testosterone and DHEA-S, were determined. In addition, the concentration ofthe transport proteins of androgens SHBG and albumin was investigated. The calculation of (FT) and(BT) was carried out according to special computer programs. The aim of this work was diagnostics ofhyperandrogenic conditions in women. The result shows that the concentration of PSA increases withan increase in T peripheral blood, the concentration of PSA increases with an increase in DHEA-S inperipheral blood and the concentration of PSA increases with an decrease in SHBG in peripheral blood.In conclusion, we found that there is a relationship between androgen levels and PSA concentration inperipheral blood, and PSA is a valuable marker in the diagnosis of hyperandrogenism in women.
