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.","PeriodicalId":39136,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology","volume":"84 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":"135006756","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}

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.

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.","PeriodicalId":39136,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology","volume":"23 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":"135008400","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}
