Characterization of human saliva through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has emerged as a valuable tool forunderstanding the complex microbial communities residing in the oral cavity. This study aims to investigate theage and gender-based variations in the salivary microbiome using NGS technology. Saliva samples were collectedfrom a diverse population representing females among below 45 Vs above 45 and males among below 45 Vsabove 45. The DNA from the samples was extracted, and theV3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplifiedfor NGS analysis. The obtained sequences were processed and analysed using bioinformatics tools to determinethe microbial composition and diversity. Preliminary results revealed distinct microbial profiles, indicating thepotential influence of age and gender on the salivary microbiome.Further research is warranted to explore additional factors and expand the scope of habit-based analysis in salivabasedmicrobial characterization through NGS.

The fractures of the hyoid bone in the neck are one of the important indicators of any pressure over the neck. Thepresent study includes a huge sample size of mechanical asphyxiation deaths (791 cases) to study the incidence ofhyoid bone fractures in hanging, ligature strangulation, and throttling. Fractures of the hyoid bone were noticed ina total of 12 cases, 9 male and 3 female with 33.33% incidence in the 41-50 years age group. Throttling dominatedthe strangulation group in our study with a share of 42.85%. A total of 6 (5 male, 1 female) cases showed hyoidbone fractures in the strangulation group wherein the predominant incidence is seen in 41-50 years(50%). In ourstudy, right cornu fractures are frequent in hanging and throttling. Except for one outward compression fracturein a hanging instance, all of the fractures identified in our investigation are inward compression fractures. Thepresent study adds to the existing literature that hyoid bone fractures are less common in hanging than throttlingand any fracture of hyoid bone is common after the age of 40 years because of calcification.

Background: Poison can be defined as, a substance (solid, liquid or gas) which if introduced in a living body orbrought in contact with any part will produce ill health or death by its constitutional or local effects or both. Thetrends of poisoning fatalities may guide towards planning of preventive measures.Aims & Objective: Assessment of socio–demographic profileamong the poisoning death cases at SMS Hospital,Jaipur.Material & Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive observational prospective study that used inclusionand exclusion criteria was conducted. 110 autopsies of suspected poisoning deaths were taken in this study. Thepresent study has been conducted in the Mortuary, Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, SMS MedicalCollege, Jaipur from 1st June 2021 to 31st May 2022.Result & observation:Conclusion: Health education and strict legal enforcement of rules regarding storage, handling, transportation andcommercial sale of poisonous substances should be established to restrict the easy availability of toxic substances.Public education regarding use & storage of poisons must be enhanced and counselling centres for persons goingthrough economic or family distress may be helpful.
