The three basic components of a örearm are the breech, barrel, and stock. The öring pin and hammer are part of the breech. The öring is initiated when the hammer strikes the öring pin, which then forcefully impacts the percussion cap at the base of the cartridge containing the primary explosive substance. During this procedure, the öring pin leaves distinct markings on the percussion cap that help determine if the purported handgun can be positively or unfalsiöably identified during test öring. These markings, however, can occasionally be purposefully damaged or removed in order to lead the investigation officer or ballistic expert astray. Firing pin markings won’t be useful for identiöcation in these circumstances. The conceptual work in the current study involves using micro laser printing to engrave the serial number of örearms on the öring pin’s surface as well as precise markings at the öring pin’s tip. These carefully etched markings will make it easier to identify factory made weapons in shooting incident instances. However, the main goal of this effort was to increase the signiöcance of öring pin marks for the identiöcation and linkage of the öred cartridge case and örearm. Although there are other ways for identiöcation, such as breech marks, extractor marks, chamber marks, etc.","PeriodicalId":37638,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135698656","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}

Atherosclerosisis the most important cause of cardiovascular disease. Based on the severity, atherosclerosis can be graded histopathologycally from Type I to Type VI. Cardiac autopsy is the main diagnostic tool to study various histopathological changes in autopsy heart specimens. Objectives: To study the histopathological spectrum and determine the occurrence of atherosclerosis in coronary arteries in autopsy heart specimens. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective record based study on autopsy heart specimens received at the department of pathology from January 2020 to December 2021. Gross and histopathological fndings were recorded from autopsy register. The histopathological spectrum of atherosclerosis and its occurrence were studied and analyzed. Results: A total of 141 heart specimens were considered for the study out of which 131 cases (92.9%) showed coronary atherosclerosis ranging from Type I to Type VI lesions. Age of the deceased ranged from one month to ninety two years. One hundred four cases (79.38%) were males and twenty seven cases (20.62%) were females. Fifty four cases (41.2%) belonged to the age group of 41-60 years. Type III–VI lesions were considered signifcant. 70.87% of right coronary arteries, 76.8% of left circumﬂex arteries and 76.9% of left anterior descending arteries showed signifcant atherosclerosis. Left anterior descending artery was found to be the most commonly involved by atherosclerosis (79.4%). Conclusion: Examination of coronary arteries in autopsy heart specimens plays an important role in determining the cause of cardiovascular diseases and gives an idea about the frequency at which atherosclerosis is encountered among the general population.","PeriodicalId":37638,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135698653","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}

Hand and foot dimensions are the important features in context of stature estimation. The present study was conducted to find out the correlation of length and breadth of hand and foot in the stature of the North Indians. Methods: Anthropometric data from 413 males and 413 females were collected. Simple and multiple linear regression methods were used for estimation of stature from hand length, hand breadth, foot length and foot breadth measurements. Results: Statistically signifcant results (p <0.001) are obtained with each measurement when the derived model is tested for stature estimation. Hand length in both sexes showed highest correlation with the stature whereas foot breadth showed the lowest. Multiple regression models showed low standard error of estimate (SEE). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that, from a forensic stand point, measurements of the hands and feet may be employed to estimate the stature of North Indian populations.","PeriodicalId":37638,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135698659","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}

Any deviation in the development of the pituitary gland may aﬀect the size and shape of the sella turcica as well. So, the morphology of the sella turcica gains special importance in certain clinical conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the shape, linear dimensions and volume of sella turcica in healthy adults using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods: This retrospective study involved CBCT images of 108 healthy adults. The sagittal, axial, and coronal slices of CBCT images were used to evaluate the shape, volume and linear dimensions. Results: The overall linear dimensions of sella turcica were length 8.59 ±1.49 mm, depth 7.27 ±1.16 mm, diameter 10.24 ±1.75 mm and volume 1499.69 ± 395.5 mm3 respectively. The length of sella turcica was higher in males than females which was statistically signifcant (p = 0.015) while the depth, diameter and volume reported non-signifcant results. The most frequent shape of sella turcica was normal and the least frequent was sella turcica bridging. The Pearson correlation co-efcient was statistically significant for the length vs diameter and volume along with diameter vs volume in both genders (p < 0.01). The depth was statistically correlated with length, diameter and volume in males (p <0.01). Conclusion: The sella turcica shape and dimensions can be used in forensic and medicolegal purposes. So, a thorough of knowledge about this important structure is necessary.","PeriodicalId":37638,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology","volume":"155-156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135698661","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}
