Abstract

Organophosphorus Compound (OP) poisoning is the most common and the highest amongst fatal cases of poisoning consumption deal in MIMS hospital. It is the commonly abused poison amongst rural and urban population more so amongst our Farmers. Fatal cases of organophosphorus poisoning were analyzed during the study period from 01.01.2016 to 31.12.2018. The analysis was done on age, sex, occupation, socio economic status, motive of poison consumption and result. Mandya District being dominated by agriculturists and sugarcane being the cash crop, drought, insufficient rain fall, raising costs of living, high debts, Cauvery water non available for agricultural use due to water sharing between neighboring states like Tamilnadu, Pondichery etc., increasing number of bore wells and ground water depletion, leading to crop failures and thereby resulting in Farmers suicide. The major cause of death in these cases treated at MIMS were Respiratory failure.

Abstract

Background: The present study was planned to investigate the possible association between polymorphisms of superoxide dismutase, SOD1 (Cu,Zn-SOD), SOD2(Mn-SOD), SOD3(EC-SOD) and catalase genes and the risk of cervical cancer in rural population of Maharashtra. Methods: A case control study included 350 proven cervical cancer cases and 400 healthy age matched control women. Genotyping of isoforms of SOD and CAT were done by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: When we studied genotype frequencies of codon 326 and 262 region of promoter of CAT gene, there was no significant association between A to T transition at codon 326 (p=0.45) and CAT C262T polymorphism (p=0.30) with susceptibility to cervical cancer. The variant G allele of SOD1 at codon 251 significantly increased in cervical cancer patients as compared with the control women (OR=3.02, 95% CI: 1.72-5.31; p<0.0001). Conclusion: Findings from this investigation confirms conceivable association of A251G of SOD1 and G172A of SOD3 genes with risk of cervical cancer in women of Maharashtra.

Abstract

Background: Buffalo milkers are more prone to de Quervain’s tenosynovitis due to their working process and repeated use of thumb, wrist and fingers. If there is any pain or problem in hand or wrist can have impact on milking ability which can lead to change in their economic status and quality of life. There are only few studies done on the population of buffalo milkers and problems regarding their occupation. Thus this study is designed to find prevalence of de quervain’s tenosynovitis in buffalo milkers. Aim: The aim of this study was to find out prevalence of de Quervain’s tenosynovitis in buffalo milkers and aware them about this condition to avoid further damage. Material and Method: Study was conducted with 92 subjects in and around Karad. Subjects were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and consent was taken. Both males(43) and females(49) subjects were included for study. Then they were assessed with help of Finkelstein test and Visual analogue scale the data was collected and analysed accordingly. Stastical Analysis: The simple random sampling is used to select the subjects for study and it is conducted in and around Karad Taluka. The sample size was calculated by de quervain’s tenosynovitis taken at 64%. Hence for calculation of sample size p=64% and q=100-p=36% sample size n=4pq/L2 therefore n=92. Statistical analysis of the recorded data was done by using the software instat. MS Excel was used for drawing various graphs with given frequencies and the various percentages that were calculated with the software. Result: After analyzing the data, it was found that there is a prevalence of de Quervain’s tenosynovitis. In all participants 43% people have de Quervain’s tenosynovitis. It is found that prevalence of de Quervain’s tenosynovitis is more in females than males and pain distribution is more in age group of 41 to 45years. Conclusion: The prevalence of de Quervain’s tenosynovitis is more in females and precautions should be taken by buffalo milkers by modifying their work strategies to avoid further damage.

Abstract

Background: Age estimation is an integral part of the biological profile employed by forensic anthropologists in order to assist in achieving an identification of an unknown deceased individual. Its estimation is of paramount importance and requires special attention in cases where bodies are found in decomposed, mutilated state or only fragmentary remains are discovered. Material and Method: The present study has been done on post-mortem cases referred to GMERS Medical College, Himmatnagar which is referral center. Very few studies have been conducted on sagittal suture closure in Himmatnagar region . Total 150 post mortem cases were taken and data collected. Result: Present study reveal that Ectocranial obliteration of the various segments of the three main sutures of the skull is so inconclusive that neither does it help in estimating the age of the deceased nor does it provide any supportive evidence in determining the age of skeletal remain. Age was determined on the basis of endocranial suture fusion. Conclusion: It was found that closure of Sagittal suture started in age of 20-29 yrs and closure completed at the age of 61 to 65 yrs.

Abstract

The practice of using small partial reagent (SPR) for the visual development of latent fingerprints is the preferred choice, particularly concerning wet surfaces. In the present study, non-porous surfaces impinged with latent prints submerged in the water simulating acidic basic and salty water bodies were developed with activated charcoal based small particle reagent method. As evident from the observations, the activated charcoal-based SPR method was able to develop latent fingerprint submerged on the glass surface for up to 11 days and on aluminium substrate, up to 12 days but the quality of fingerprint observed was better on the glass substrate. The shelf life of the activated charcoal-based SPR method was found to be 52 days. The results have shown that the time-lapse of submersion and quality of fingerprint developed are inversely prepositional to each other. Although pond water submerged substrates showed good quality developed fingerprints for a longer period than other mediums but with increasing period of submersion the quality degraded.
