Manual siphoning of diesel with mouth from automobiles is common practice in rural communities. This practice can be hazardous leading to ingestion and aspiration of diesel leading to chemical pneumonitis. Here we present two cases of chemical pneumonitis following siphonage of diesel managed with steroids and recovered completely

Background: Cephalic Index is defined as the ratio calculated by the occipitofrontal diameter (OFD) to thebiparietal diameter (BPD).It has been reported that factors like race, ethnicity, genetic interactions, traditions, nutrition, environment, andclimate influences head types.The multifariousness of our nation fascinates and raises the need for anthropometric studies in various regionsand compare the outcomes.The cross-sectional study was carried on three different groups/subjects of either sex.Group 1 comprised of living subjects (Undergraduate students) belonging to this particular region.Group 2 comprised of those that presented to the radio- diagnosis department of Sir Sunderlal Hospital, IMS,BHU, UP, India.Group 3 comprised of dry skulls available in the departmental museum of department of Forensic medicine, IMS,BHU, UP, India.The measurement of maximum cranial breadth and maximum cranial length, are taken manually/on DICOM CTrecords depending on the group and recorded for analysis.The average CI in both the sexes and prevalence of the type is classified according to Martin and Saller classification.(1957)Objectives: The objectives were to find out the prevalence of the type of skull in the study population. It wouldalso show the sensitivity of radiology and its efficaciousness in anthropometric measurements. To ascertain themean CI,range of maximum cranial breadth and maximum cranial length.Result: A total of 70% amongst the study population shows dolichocephalisation.The mean cephalic index in this particular study population was 73.92 ± 5.05. Maximum cranial breadth ranged from 10.4cms to 16.2cms with a mean breadth of 13.21±0.93.Maximum cranial length ranged from 15.6 cms to 20.67cms with a mean length of 17.89 ± 0.86.Conclusion: The observations and findings of the present study based on CT can be replicated in variouscommunities, castes, and regions of India. The data can also be helpful in establishment of identity particularlyrace using skeletal remains.

This study aims at exploring the demographical profiles of the victims and assailants, the weapons used, andthe fatal injuries inflicted on the body, in cases of homicide. A record-based cross-sectional studywas conductedat the Department of Forensic Medicine, Govt T.D. Medical College, Alappuzha, Kerala, from July 2012 to July2022. Out of 8952 autopsies conducted during the study period, there were 205 cases (2.29%) of homicide. 55.62%of cases were during the first five months, from January to May. The victims were between 31-40 years in 23.9%cases and 21.46% were 21-30 years old. Out of 205 cases of homicide, 48.36% were due to blunt force injuries and38.97% by sharp force injuries. In the case of blunt force injuries, maximum involvement was to the head & face(52.55%); in sharp force injuries, involvement was highest in the chest (34.65%). The majority of the assailants weremales (73.91%). The most common alleged motive was quarrel (27.32%), closely followed by rivalry (25.85%).Thefindings of our study are mostly in agreement with the existing literature.
