Background: Liver is the most vulnerable and major organ in our body which undergoes variety of insultslike metabolic, toxic, microbial and circulatory disturbances. Liver is the site of many diseases which becomesymptomatic while some are diagnosed only on autopsy.It is beneficial for clinician and pathologist to reachaccurate diagnosis through histopathological examination of liver and determine the involvement of liver inautopsy cases.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College,Amritsar from January 2021 to December 2022. One hundred liver specimens were studied in autopsy cases ofdifferent age groups received in department of Pathology. Gross examination of liver specimen was done and.Hand E stained slides were subjected to microscopic examination. The aim of the study was to see the prevalenceof liver diseases in medicolegal autopsies and their histopathological examination.Conclusion: In our study number of males was more than females. Liver congestion was the most common findingin our study followed by fatty liver. Alcohol intake was the common findings in large number of autopsy cases.

Background: ChatGPT, the state-of-the-art innovation in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining massivepopularity with its notable ability to generate human-like responses within the shortest period. The utility ofChatGPT is being assessed possibly in all fields now with medical education predicted to be one of the key areasto be highly benefitted by ChatGPT.Objective: We aim to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT in Forensic Medicine of the third professional MBBSpart 1.Methods: The performance of ChatGPT was assessed using the final university examination question papers. Thequestions were used to converse with ChatGPT and each of the responses was recorded. The answers generatedby ChatGPT were later evaluated by the expert faculties in the Department of Forensic Medicine. Results: All ourquestions regarding the subject were satisfactorily addressed by ChatGPT. The answers were concise without anypictorial representation. Before generating content related to issues like “sodomy”, potential content violationmessages were sent.Conclusion: ChatGPT has performed moderately in the evaluation. Although there were invalid and incorrectresponses, with additional inputs and training, these chatbot systems can be improved to assist medical educatorsin various subjects and can emerge as one of the innovative teaching-learning strategies in medical education. Wecan successfully use these technologies to improve medical education and, ultimately, patient care by leveragingAI’s benefits while addressing its drawbacks.

Background: Injury from a firearm (FA) is a major public health concern that presents significant economic andmedical challenges. Death rates from firearm injuries have dramatically increased as a result of easy access tofirearms and political and social unrest.Aims & objective: Assessment of medico–legal profile among the victims of firearm injury cases at SMS Hospital,Jaipur.Material & methodology: A prospective cross-sectional descriptive study with inclusion and exclusion criteriawas carried out. The study included 80 cases of gun injury. From June 2021 to August 2022, the SMS MedicalCollege and Attached Group of Hospitals, Jaipur, conducted the current study on cases of firearm-related injuriesthat were either treated or autopsied.Result & observation: The majority of the subjects in the current study 75 (93.75%) were the victims of attemptedmurder. Nearly half 39 (48.75%) of all firearm shots were made from a distance. In the current study, tattooingaffected 25 subjects, blackening affected 24 subjects, and singeing affected 16 subjects overall.Conclusion: empty mind devil’s house it is a famous old proverb that’s why we must encourage young peopleand adults to work for a living. The reduction of firearm injuries may be facilitated by the growth of a stable socialenvironment, political stability, and strict regulation of the production, sale, and renewal of licences for weapons.periodic inspection of manufacturing units and manufactured weapons will reduce accidental firearm injuries.

The most common methods of suicide are by poisoning and hanging. Death due to electrocution virtually means accidental, with suicides are rare and homicides are even rarer. Most of the suicides by electrocution are committed by persons who have knowledge of electricity. Because of rarity of the suicide by electrocution this case is reported. We report a case of young man who works as security guard committed suicide by encircling electric wire around his left forearm and right leg. The circumstances surrounding the manner of electrocution and the features of electric injuries are presented and discussed.
