Background: Self-harm is a growing concern especially among the teenagers and young adults. Non-Suicidal Self-Injury is defined as intentional destruction of one’s body tissue without suicidal intent.Material and methods: A 2 years’ retrospective studyfrom January 2021 to December 2022 comprising of 434 cases of deliberate self-harm that presented at the Trauma center of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, A.M.U, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh.Results: Total 434 cases of self-harm were examinedin which 297 were males while 137 were females.Most of the survivors were from age groups 19-30 years (26.5%) and belonged to rural areas 291 (67.1%). The most common method used for self-harm was taking poison or medicinal drugs (80.9%).Conclusion: A significant proportion of suicide attempts are impulsive, solitary efforts that are often the result of interpersonal conflicts which can be avoided by supportive communication with the patient.Keywords: Self harm, Suicide, Poisoning, Hanging, Cut throat.

Introduction: Cheiloscopy is one of the investigative methods that utilises the anatomy and morphology of lips to identify individuals by their lip prints. Lip prints are a distinctive pattern made up of ridges and grooves on the labial mucosa, or sulci labiorum; cheiloscopy is the study of such patterns.Material and Methods: The study group comprised of 50 males and 50 females aged between 18 and 25 years in the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, AMU, Aligarh for a period of 1 year i.e., from August 2021 to September 2022.Results: Each individual lips were divided into 4 regions- upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left and a total of 400 lip regions (100x4) were assessed for 6 types of lip groove patterns- Type I, Type I’, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Type V as per the Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification.The most common type of lip print pattern in males was Type III (32.5%) while in females it was Type II (36%).Conclusion: Lip prints are distinctive to each person and can be used to identify a person and ascertain their gender.

The present study has been carried out to find the occurrence of natural deaths and the diseases causing them in Eastern part of Bengaluru with special emphasis on histopathological correlation. Medico legal autopsy cases with history of Natural Death over period of three yearsbetween January 2019 to December 2021were included in this study. A total of 799 cases were autopsied at our Institute during that period, out of which 104 deaths (13.01 %) were due to natural deaths, The highest number of cases were observed in the age group of 21-30 years (n=29, 27.9 %), Maximum cases (n=12, 11.5%) of cases were found in January month, Majority of the cases were due to the diseases of Cardiovascular system (n=67, 64.1 %) followed by diseases of Respiratory system (n=23, 22.2 %),Maximum cases of natural deaths were due to coronary artery disease (n=44, 42.3%)], followed by pneumonia (n=13, 12.5%).
