Diatoms are photosynthetic microorganisms that play important role in forensic diatomology in the diagnosis of drowning deaths. In the present study, the Diatomological profile of Powai lake was prepared for medico-legal purposes using the Shannon-Wiener index. Powai lake (19.1266° N, 72.9062° E) is a large artificial lake situated in a northern suburb of Mumbai. Diatoms sampling was conducted in February 2017 from this lake. This study aimed to identify the various genera of diatoms and to determine the relative abundance, generic counting, and diversity index of diatoms for the medico-legal purposes. Littoral benthic diatoms of five locations were sampled from this lake. Diatoms slides were prepared by scraping the rock surface with an area of 3x3 cm, diluting in 50 ml distilled water, and identification under the microscope with 1000 magnification. Identification of 17 genera of diatoms was done using the web-based visual guide ‘Diatoms of the United States’. Diatoms belong to both the orders Centrales and Pennales. The pH of the lake water was found to be 7.64 i.e. slightly alkaline and the temperature was 27°C. Water quality parameters showed a fairly good value for the growth of diatoms. Samples were dominated by class Bacillariophyceae, which included 9 genera followed by Coscinodiscophyceae, with 6 genera, and Fragilariophyceae, with 2 genera. Generic counts of diatoms were obtained by using the ‘Neubauer’ Counting chamber. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H') ranges from 1.042 in Epipelic to 0.454 in Emerged Epiphytic diatoms. The purpose of this study was to prepare a diatomological profile of diatoms at discrete depths for medico-legal purposes.

The features of the hands have always attracted man to find his future. After research of decades by many, the hand has come to be known as reflection of his self and a useful tool in the diagnosis of psychological, medical and genetic conditions. Finger and palmar dermatoglyphics have been observed to be indicators of certain ailments and health disorders. Their scope may be utilised to predict the problem and implement preventives measures to rectify. India, a developing country, can do with such non-invasive, inexpensive and effective indicators of health. In this paper, the work done by various research scholars has been studied to determine the importance of Finger and palmar dermatoglyphics in the study of ailments.

Introduction: As one of the largest oil exporters in the world, Saudi Arabia carries 18.1% of the global oil reserves and the fifth largest natural gas reserves. This unrefined wealth, in addition to numerous other natural resources, makes Saudi Arabia a logical destination for drug smugglers and dealers aiming to make fast illegal profits. Based on recent statistics, this article focused on the economic value of drugs of abuse seized in Saudi Arabia during the period between 2009-2012. Methods: Four years of data (2009–2012) related to the economic value of drugs of abuse seized in Saudi Arabia were analyzed. This data was obtained by Saudi Customs and other governmental entities responsible for the monitoring of drug smuggling. Results: The recent financial boom coupled with the numerous nationalities and cultures present in Saudi Arabia has led to an associated increase in the smuggling and promotion of narcotics, accompanied by illegal monetary gain, with consequent detrimental effects on the Saudi economy. This is evident by the Saudi Arabian market value statistics during the years from 2009–2012. Conclusion: Statistically, smuggling and drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia has increased, particularly regarding amphetamines, cannabis, and khat. Economic, security, and social programs aimed at raising youth awareness of the dangers of substance abuse should be implemented to address this ongoing problem.
