Identification can be done by a myriad of methods and of them includes the measurement of stature by foot length The Study population includes the faculty and students of a tertiary medical care college and hospital and the residents of a district in South India between the ages group of 21-40 years. 200 members consisting of 100 male and 100 female were chosen by stratified random sampling. The height was measured by using standard height measuring instrument and foot length by a vernier calliper. A highly significant correlation was found between Stature and RFL(r=0.811) with the strength of association being more in males (r=0.677) than females (r=0.592). Ahighly significant correlation was also found between Stature and LFL (r=0.823) with the strength of association again being more in males (r=0.707) than in females (r=0.582). Between the two feet, the stature showed highly significant strong correlation with LFL (r=0.823) 2 when compared to RFL (r=0.811). By comparing the r and r values in different study groups it is seen that pooled sample shows better correlation than individual sex. Regression equations were developed for individual sex and also for the pooled data. Stature showed a highly significant positive correlation with both foot lengths with the RFL exhibiting a slightly stronger association. Regression equation for stature developed in this study with respect to the pooled data exhibited a better goodness of fit for the Left foot length

Human identification is critical, although it might be difficult given that each person has a particular trait. Fingerprint is the best identification of both living and deceased individual. There are patterns like ridge density, macro characteristic and micro characteristic in fingerprint. Ridge density and thickness plays major role in differentiation male and female gender. This is comparative study conducted on 223 volunteers of 125 female and 98 males under the age group varying from 18-65 years in Tamil speaking population in Thiruporur Taluk. After informed consent and preliminary data, fingerprints were obtained from the volunteers by means of simple inking method as suggested by Cummins and Midlo for fingerprint pattern we used blue stamp ink with clean and dry hands of all ten fingers, fingerprint were imprinted on fingerprint format paper. The present study resulted that mean value of ridge density of female vary from 11.2 – 12.7 ridges/mm with average of 11.95 ridges/mm ( ~ 12 ridges/mm ) and mean value of ridge density of male are 12.1 -13.7 ridges/mm with 2 2 2 2 average of 12.9 ridges/mm (~13 ridges/mm ) which shows that male have higher ridge density than female. In our study 'P' value compared between male and female showed non-significance in all fingers except little finger which was significant. Fingerprint ridge density is a very important parameter useful in gender distinction. In this study the fingerprint ridge density was found to be higher in males than in females. This will be useful among individuals of ethnic Tamil descent to predict the degree of sexual dimorphism based on ridge density pattern,

Stature is the height of the person in upright posture. It is one of the most important elements in the identification of an individual. In the recent times, due to natural disasters like tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and man-made disasters like bomb blasts, terror attacks, wars, plane crashes, mass accidents and other accidents, the need of establishing the identity of the person has become an important necessity for both legal and humanitarian reasons. Many a times, only skull is brought for medico legal identification, this necessitates to correlate the metric traits of the skeletal remains with the stature. The present study was conducted on 300 individuals in a tertiary care hospital of Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The study showed a significant co-relation between head length and stature.

Acute pancreatitis is a catastrophic event for human life. It can cause acute and sudden inflammation of the pancreas with a danger of involving peripancreatic tissue and other organ systems. Acute pancreatitis symptoms range from mild disease to fatal outcomes in some cases. In such cases, the pain and collapse are so quick that the event quickly follows death. Multisystem organ failure is the main reason for early deaths. Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis is not a common cause of sudden death, preceded by non-specific abdominal pain and vomiting symptoms. We here discuss the case of a young male who presented to the emergency department in an unconscious state with a history of severe abdominal pain. Autopsy examination revealed features of acute pancreatitis on gross and histopathological examination. Acute pancreatitis is a severe, life-threatening condition and most deaths are sudden and unexpected. Hence, a detailed investigation is required for the diagnosis.

Calcaneum, the largest tarsal bone forms joint with Talus (Talocalcaneal joint). The superior surface of calcaneum shows three facets for talus. Patterns of facets are variable in different populations. Knowledge of the facets is important for orthopaedic surgeons in correction of foot deformities, as facet number is an important factor in subtalar joint stability and formation of osteophytes in osteoarthritis. The objective of the present study was to identify the patterns of talar facets on calcaneum in North-West India population and their comparison with other population of the world. For the present study; 100 calcanei of unknown age and sex were used. The calcanei were retrieved from the department of Anatomy, at a tertiary care hospital and medical college, in Haryana. The current study will focus on talar articular facets on calcanei. Patterns of talar articular facets on calcanei were observed as described by Bunning and Barnett et al. Present study revealed that pattern I and II were commonly present in the North West population, and accounted for 83% and 16% respectively. The North West population presented Pattern I as the most common pattern as compared to the European population where pattern II was reported as the most common pattern, so variation in the facet pattern between races demand a modification of surgical technique of calcaneal osteotomy to meet the needs of a particular population.

Killing of an individual is the highest level of aggression found in society. Incidence of homicide is on the rise and its pattern is also changing with time. The present retrospective study was conducted in the department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, VIMSAR, st st Burla from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020. All the cases brought to the department for autopsy, either confirmed or later registered as homicide by investigating officer were considered for study. Among 4918 autopsies conducted during the period of 3 years 119 cases (2.41%) were of homicidal deaths. 66.4% of homicide victims are males. Majority of homicidal deaths occur in the age group 21-30 years and 31-40 years accounting for 52% of total cases combinedly. 46.2% homicide victims succumbed to injuries at the spot. Majority of cases (44 cases, 37%) occurred during night hours. Infliction of injuries are present in multiple areas in 42.8% of cases. Blunt weapons (29.4%) were the most commonly used. Defence wound were present in 19% of cases. Most common site of fatal injury is head in 46.2% of cases. In majority of cases (46.2%) cause of death was due to craniocerebral injury.

Autopsy is the ultimate diagnostic test, typically the gold standard with an assumed 100% sensitivity for establishing the causes of death. Medicolegal autopsies are conducted in cases of sudden, suspicious and unnatural deaths. The frequency and spectrum of renal pathologies on medicolegal autopsy specimens are not well documented in the literature. Our study aimed at diseases in sudden death cases based on the histomorphological findings by microscopical examination of renal tissue. Kidney specimens of 120 Medicolegal autopsy cases were received, processed and examined in our department over a period of 2 years. Out of 120 cases chronic kidney cases (CKD) was identified in 45 ( 37.5%) cases. In our study 28 cases were male (62.22%) and 17 cases were female (37.78%). The different lesions suggesting CKD were, glomerulosclerosis 2 cases (4.44%), Chronic pyelonephritis in 6 (13.33%) cases, Vascular sclerosis 32 cases (71.11%) and in 5 cases (11.11%) interstitial nephritis. This study analyzed various entities of chronic kidney disease found in medicolegal autopsies. These entities either contribute or directly responsible for the death of the individuals.

Mortality among youth owing to unnatural causes is on the rise. Hence, the present study was undertaken to assess the number of such deaths, the manner of death and the commonest cause of death. Atotal of 255 cases of unnatural deaths among youth aged between 15 and 29 years, autopsied at a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India were studied for duration of 18 months from November 2015 to April th 2017. Unnatural deaths among youth constituted 25.91%, 1/4 of all medico-legal autopsies. Males outnumbered females. Most of the victims were 24 to 26 years old males and 21 to 23 years old females. Most of the victims were Hindu. Socio-economically, most of the victims belonged to the middle class. Most of them were urban residents belonging to nuclear families. Majority of the victims were secondary school students. Most of the unnatural deaths were suicides; with victims aged 27 to 29 years. In conclusion, most of the unnatural deaths among youth were suicidal in nature followed by accidents and lastly homicides.
