The purpose of this study was to assess the characteristics and trendsof deaths due to poisoning in Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad.Methods: Hospital records, inquest reports, post-mortem reports and toxicological analysis reports were analysedamong various age groups, sex, type and manner of poisoning. Snake bite poisoning cases were excluded.Results: Out of 318 cases, we got positive toxicological analysis report for 287 (90.2%) cases. In our studypredominance of male cases 259(81.45%) compared to female cases 59(18.55%) reported. In the age group mostinvolved was 21-30 yrs 107 cases (34%) followed by 31-40 yrs 82 (26%), 41-50 yrs 49 (15%).

Aspirated vitreous was poured into a rubber stopped vial. The collected fluid wassent to the biochemistry department for electrolyte analysis. The analysis was carried out using the iron selectiveelectrode method, and the results were noted and compared.Results: The PM interval for 27 cases (28.4%) was < 12 hours, 32 cases (33.6%) was between 12-24 hours, and36 cases (37.8%) was >24 hours. In the study of different electrolytes, the sodium chloride value remainedinsignificant, but the potassium value had a highly significant p value (p<0.001). The highest mean value ofpotassium 10.62 (±1.90) in accidental falls and least in snake bite deaths was 6.7 (±0.23).Conclusion: The present pragmatic study has proved that vitreous potassium is the single best parameter toestimate and predict post mortem death accurately.","PeriodicalId":18400,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Update","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136259612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

India is among the few nations responsible for two-thirds of all intrauterine fatalitiesworldwide. Intrauterine deaths risk medical negligence lawsuits by the aggrieved family members againstthe treating doctors and the hospital authorities. Fetal autopsy forms a valuable audit of clinical care, enableslearning about such adverse pregnancy outcomes, and assists in administering justice in medical lawsuits. Wediscuss a case of a 30-year-old pregnant female at 38 weeks +1 day of gestation. She was reported to a hospitalwith lower abdominal pain. Per abdomen examination, fetal heart sound was reported to be present, and shewas sent home. She presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain, rupture of membrane, and loss offetal movements the next day and was diagnosed as intrauterine fetal death. The family members alleged it asmedical negligence, and the fetus was sent for a medicolegal autopsy. During the autopsy, skin desquamation ofabout 75% of the total body surface area was present. The umbilical cord stump was dark reddish brown colored.Overriding of the cranial bones was noted. The diaphragm was present at the level of the 4th rib. The lungs werenon-crepitant and had liver-like consistency. Hydrostatic and stomach-bowel tests were negative. Cut sectionsof the lower end of the femur, the upper end of the tibia, and the body of the sternum, calcaneum, and talusshowed the appearance of the ossification centers. Medicolegal autopsy helped answer the investigating officer’squestions and establish fetal age, time since intrauterine death, and whether the fetus was live or dead born.","PeriodicalId":18400,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Update","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136259063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
