Narcotic drug with addition of neutral substances is common practice in India. Paracetamol, phenacetin and lignocaine are commonly used for addition in narcotic drugs like heroin and cocaine. Dimethyl sulfone is a neutral substance used in methamphetamine hydrochloride. Methamphetamine is a stimulant popular in the illicit drug market known as ice drug. The pure crystalline Methamphetamine and Dimethyl sulfone easily detected and identified by Raman spectroscopy. However, mixed Raman spectra was obtained from powdered sample. The identification of methamphetamine in Raman Spectra, was done by dissolving methamphetamine hydrochloride dissolving in methanol and precipitated in ether, dimethyl sulfone remains in methanol -ether mixture. Raman spectra of precipitated drugs confirm the methamphetamine. Solubility differences in the two solvents made separation easy and Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of methamphetamine hydrochloride and dimethyl sulfone.

The estimation of sex in human skulls has been a very controversial issue over the years, due to the interpopulation sexual dimorphism that exists. For this reason, we have decided to carry out the following work, in which we will apply and discuss two qualitative methodologies in a sample of 84 adult skulls (male and female), from the Forensic Investigations Laboratory of the Department of Ayacucho - Peru in order to study the effectiveness of these methodologies. Each methodology will have numerical indicators that will represent the degree of sexual dysmorphism, in certain areas that vary differently according to the methodology. In the Buikstra & Ubelaker method we will assign degrees in 5 zones inside the skull; while in the Ferembach method we will evaluate 17 areas between the skull and the jaw that will be detailed later. When obtaining the results of both methodologies, it was observed that there is a significant difference between both methods, being the qualitative method Buikstra & Ubelaker with more successes, thus concluding its greater effectiveness in estimating sex in human skulls.

The present work aimed to determine and analyze the pattern of firearm injuries among deaths at Benghazi Medico-Legal Center (Al Jala mortuary), Ministry of Justice, Libya, during 2011-2013. A retrospective study from 2011 to 2013 was conducted to evaluate firearm fatalities referred to the Medico-legal Center. Collected data were statistical analyzed. There were 181 firearm deaths received during the study period. More than half of fatalities were reported in 2011 as they represented 97 (53.6%) deaths, and 40 (22.1%) deaths occurred in 2012. The remaining deaths 44 (24.3%) occurred in 2013. Male gender was the predominant gender among the overall cases as they represented 173 cases (95.6%), overall mean age 29.53 (±10.6) years. The mean age was very close over the three years. The firearm injuries among the surveyed deaths through the three years were either gunshot (81.8%) or explosive injury (18.9%). Military homicidal manner of death was predominantly during 2011, on the other hand, civilian homicidal manner of death was more in 2012 and 2013.
