The soil is a crucial resource in many criminal trials and the same has received a recent research approach inrecent years, with numerous groups researching with objectives that allow for improved differentiation of soilprofiles. This investigation was conducted in 2022-2023 with the objective of assessment of soil characterizationfrom several areas in Sultanpur City, Uttar Pradesh. The primary goal of this study was to conduct a quantitativeanalysis of the samples using physical, chemical, microscopic and instrumental examination techniques. The soilsamples were collected from a depth of 0-15 cm and after analysing the samples, it was found that the colour of thesoil varies according to its composition. Soil features like texture, stickiness, plasticity, density, pH, and percentageof soluble sulphate were examined using different physical and chemical tests. Soil texture was classified underthe sandy clay loam category and stickiness and plasticity were measured to be less, medium or more. The soildensity ranged from 1.794 g/cm3 to 2.479 g/cm3. The pH of the soil samples was overall acidic, ranging from6.27 - 7.77. The percentage of soluble sulphate in soil varied from 0.11184 - 0.0864.A stereo microscope was used toobserve the granular and prismatic structures of soil samples. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) was usedfor quantitative analysis of soil samples to measure the amount of trace elements present in the soil. The studyresults showed that each soil sample varied from another and the parameters used for soil profiling helped in thedifferentiation of these soil samples. The results from this study can be helpful in preparing soil which can furtherassist the forensic scientists in their investigations related to soil as evidence.

Purple Glove Syndrome is a relatively uncommon complication of intravenous phenytoin administration withclinical manifestations of pain, edema, and purple-blue discoloration at the injection site. Here we report a caseof Purple Glove syndrome induced by intravenous administration of phenytoin. The case report describes about a75-year-old male, who presented to the Emergency Department with chief complaints of generalized tonic - clonicseizures for which he was managed with Inj. Phenytoin. Later patient sensorium improved and 4 hours later thepatient had pain and swelling over the left hand and wrist distal to the IV cannula site followed by reddish-purplediscoloration over the edematous site. Left upper limb Doppler was done & it showed left-hand cellulitis with noevidence of thrombus. Then the patient was reassured and treated with removal of IV cannula, left-hand elevation,warmth application, analgesics and change of antiepileptics. Such medications like phenytoin should be handledcarefully to avoid difficulties in the future. Early detection, rapid monitoring, and management are essential.

Background and Aim: Sudden natural death that occurred apparently to a healthy individual sometimescreates suspicions of foul play, thus subjected to medicolegal (ML) examinations. The study aims to assess thesociodemographic profile of the sudden natural death cases brought for medicolegal autopsy and identify thecommonest accountable cause of sudden natural death.Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine, at tertiary care teachinghospital, India for the duration of 1 year. During the study period total of 784 cases were brought for medicolegalautopsies to mortuary, out of which 50 cases were found to be sudden natural death constituting an overall burdenof 6.37%. All the cases of autopsy having the opinion of natural death as a cause of death and cases brought deadin casualty without evidence of unnatural cause were included. The distribution of the cases concerning varioussociodemographic variables was presented as frequencies and percentages.Results: Male predominance was observed among the sudden death cases as out of 50 cases, 40 cases (80%) weremale, and 10 cases were female with a sex ratio of 4:1. Most of the cases were reported from the adult age groupand the commonly involved age group was 31 to 40 years. Among the causes of sudden death, the most involvedorgan system was the cardiovascular system (44%), followed by the gastrointestinal system (22%), respiratorysystem (18%), central nervous system (14%) and genitourinary system (2%).Conclusion: Cardiac causes are the most common cause of sudden natural death among the adult population inthe study site. Increased frequency of sudden deaths among urban, married and adult male populations might bedue to sedentary lifestyles in urban areas and increased stress among married individuals due to workload andfamily responsibilities, indicating a physical and mental disequilibrium in modern times resulting in this type ofunexpected deaths.

Background: Body Stature is defined as height of the body in upright position and is an inherent character, soconsidered as one of the important parameters of personal identification. To know stature of individual, length oflong bones is needed and use of more than one long bone gives accurate result.Aims & objective: Stature Estimation By Radiological Length Of Femur In Adult Male Of Jaipur.Material & methodology: A cross sectional analytical type observational study that used inclusion and exclusioncriteria was conducted. 30 males were taken in the study whose radiological measurement of femur length wasconducted by X-ray imaging of right femur bone. The present study had been conducted in Department of ForensicMedicine in association with Department of Radiology, SMS Medical College and Attached Hospitals, Jaipur.Result & observation: In current study majority of subject having height ranging from 166 cm – 175 cm (MediumStature ) with a mean height of 170.43 cm with a standard deviation of ± 8.14. The mean height in short staturemale is 160.37 ± 3.81 cm, the mean height in Medium stature male is 170.96 ± 3.20 cm and the mean height in Tallstature male is 181 cm ± 3.65 cm.Majority of male subjects had femur length ranging from 44.1 cm – 46.0 cm witha mean femur length of 46.39 cm with a standard deviation of ± 2.71. The regression formula for male of nativepopulation of Jaipur is y = 2.8744x + 36.189.Conclusion:There isa positive correlation between stature and femur length in male native population of Jaipur.
身高被定义为身体处于直立位置时的高度，是一种内在特征，因此被认为是个人身份的重要参数之一。要知道个人的身高，就需要长骨的长度，使用多根长骨可以得到准确的结果。的目标是,目的:用股骨放射长度估算斋浦尔地区成年男性的身高。材料,方法:采用纳入和排除标准进行横断面分析型观察研究。本研究选取30名男性，采用右股骨x线显像法测量股骨长度。本研究是在斋浦尔SMS医学院和附属医院的法医学系与放射科联合进行的。结果,观察:在目前的研究中，大多数受试者的身高范围为166 cm - 175 cm(中等身材)，平均身高为170.43 cm，标准差为±8.14。矮个子男性平均身高为160.37±3.81 cm，中等身材男性平均身高为170.96±3.20 cm，高个子男性平均身高为181 cm±3.65 cm。大多数男性受试者股骨长度在44.1 cm - 46.0 cm之间，平均股骨长度为46.39 cm，标准差为±2.71。斋浦尔本地人口男性回归公式为y = 2.8744x + 36.189。结论:斋浦尔本地男性人群的身高与股骨长度呈正相关。
