Background: The consequence of Covid 19 lockdown on medicolegal cases was variable throughout the world.Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital setting and otherpublic health institutions in the same district with the objective of comparing thetotal number of medico legalcases, any increase or decrease in the unnatural (accidental, suicidal and homicidal) versus natural deaths and alsowhether any increase or decrease of coronary artery disease among the brought dead natural cases during pre andthe lock down period.Results: Among the total number of medicolegal cases came for autopsy (237), 65.8% were during pre lock downperiod and 34.2% were during lockdown period. This indicates a significant reduction in the number of casesduring lockdown compared to pre lockdown in both type of institutions. This reduction in number of cases wereobserved in all the type of cases as indicated by reduction in unnatural deaths (30.2%versus 69.8%), small reductionin natural deaths (46.3% versus 53.7%), accidental deaths (26% versus 74%), suicidal deaths (36.2% versus 63.8%),reduction in Road traffic accidents(26.3%versus 73.7%), deaths following coronary artery disease (42.9%versus57.1%). The age distribution of deaths due to coronary artery disease during the pre lockdown period was in arange of 28 – 85 years and during lockdown period was 33- 78 years with a median of 48 years in both groups.Conclusion: Regardless of the type of, there is reduction in the number of medicolegal cases during lockdowncompared to pre lockdown in both the types of institutions.

Fingerprints are considered as the best tool of identification of a person. Fingerprint evidence is by far the mosteffective and reliable evidence in the court of law. The reason being fingerprint pattern persist same throughoutthe life and no two individual has similar pattern. Both blood group and dermatoglyphic pattern have geneticinheritance so an attempt has been made to analyze their correlation with gender and blood group of an individual.The objective of the study was to determine correlation (if any) between the fingerprint pattern, blood group andgender. The study was conducted on 150 students (88 males and 62 females) in the age group of 18-25 years.The fingerprint pattern of the study participants was compared with the gender and ABO-Rh blood group aftertaking their Informed written consent. Amongst ABO blood group, the most common blood group was O (40%),followed by B (35.33%), A (19.33%) and AB (5.34%). Rh + ve was the most common rhesus factor (97.33%). The loopwas the most common pattern (69.14%), followed by whorl (26.06%) and arch (4.80%). Frequency of loops werehighest in both the Rh-positive and Rh- negative subjects of ABO blood groups except O -ve blood group wherewhorls dominate. Loops are maximum seen in blood group B while whorls are more common in blood groupO and arches with blood group A. The present study confirms that loop is the most common type of fingerprintpattern while arch was the least common. The study revealed significant association between the Fingerprintpattern, Gender and ABO blood group.

Introduction: The thoracic sympathetic trunk possesses 12 ganglia,one corresponding to each thoracic nerve ,it lies anterior to head of ribs or side of the body of thoracic vertebrae.Splanchnic nerves arise from the thoracic ganglia and supply thoracic and abdominal viscera. Material and method: The present study included 50 preserved fetus specimens sent for routine autopsy in Department of Anatomy ,Government medical college and hospital,Chandigarh.The thoracic and abdominal wall of the fetus was incised ,then all organs were removed to expose the sympathetic chain .Morphological observations were noted.Next the thoracic ganglion was removed and fixed in paraffin for the histological processing in different gestational ages. Observation: The fetus were divided into 4 age group (Group A=11-15weeks,Group B=15+_20weeks,Group C=20+_25weeks and Group D=25 weeks onwards) Morphological observation: The length of thoracic chain was noted which was directly proportional to gestational age.The number of ganglia showed variability 12 in 22 cases,11 in 18 cases and 10 in 7 cases.The origin of splanchnic nerves from thoracic ganglia was quite variable. Histological observation: In group A the neuroblast cells were observed with eccentric nucleus. Presence of satellite cells was noticed in group B surrounding neuroblasts. In group C, some neuroblasts were seen undergoing mitosis whereas others slowed more differentiation.In group D mature adult like neuroblasts were seen with processes, satellite cell sheath and perinuclear halo.
