Type 1 is the most prevalent, comprising polymicrobial infections by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The predominant isolates are species of the Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Bacteriodes generas and members of the Enterobacteriacea family. Clostridium commonly participates in this context without causing myonecrosis. Events that compromise peripheral vascularization are the classic risk factor for acquiring the infection, where interestingly, no triggering events where identified in 20-50% of patients.2 The Fournier Gangrene, diabetic foot infection and necrotizing fasciitis are classic infections of this group.

Sickle cell anemia, one such disease arises from hereditary disorder. This can cause pain called sickle crises and symptoms like delayed growth and jaundice. Sickle cell disease prevents oxygen from reaching various organs of the body and causing a lot of cell death. Due to this reason, the patients get frequent infections and ultimately leading to death. The reduction in hemoglobin due to short life of the sickle cell causes anemia. The hemoglobin molecule has three components, heme group, an alpha domain and a beta domain. Patients with sickle cell disease have a mutation in the beta domain. As a result of mutation, the RBC takes a concave shape. Eaton and coworkers conclude that sickle RBC adhere to vascular endothelial cells in vitro, perhaps caused by a calciuminduced aberration of membrane topography. This adherence may be a pathogenetic factor in the microvascular occlusions characteristic of sickle cell disease.1 Verification of these adhesion possibly be the carbon role and its structural phenomena that ought to be the central point of focusing. Recently I have reported that globular proteins prefer to have 31.45% of carbon for its stability and can be used as standard for carbon distribution analysis.2–4 Allotment of carbon is responsible for disorders in proteins.5 Hydrophobic interaction is the dominant force crucial for folding.4 The content and distribution of this carbon make a protein to fold in some fashion to have a specific function. Disease proteins are expectedly differing from this carbon distribution profile.6,7 The disorders are mainly due to carbon role in different phenomena may be of evolutionary reason. Toxicity also depends on this factor of carbon role.8 CARd3D program4 exploits the availability of protein 3D structures and reveals the facts of carbon role in macromolecular folding and binding.

Due to the socio-economic reasons, education level of people, crime including sexual assault, eve-teasing etc. are increasing very rapidly. The law enforcement agencies are taking strict actions against the perpetrator to prevent from these crimes. To follow the international standards for justified examination of evidences, various types of evidences play a vital role to solve a crime. A systematic procedure of collection the evidences, as per the law of scientific evidences are followed to punish the actual culprit of any crime. In a few instances, accused are acquitted by the courts in light of inappropriate examination of samples or not following the guideline of international standard. The cases of sexual assault and missing identity, the samples are sent to the forensic science laboratories to determine the gender and identify the individual based on DNA profiles. In such cases, where the gender of sample is not known to the experts and a very high amount of female biological material is present; examination of samples becomes a necessity. In case the examination is conducted by untrained and inexperienced scientific staff, it makes it vulnerable to surrender before the court or defence counsel. It is necessary to examine the samples in proper way and report the cases with proper justification.
