Drowning is a leading cause of injury-related mortality globally. Unintentional drowning (International Classification Diseases (ICD) 10 codes W65-74 and ICD9 E910) one the 30 mutually exclusive collectively exhaustive causes in Global Burden Disease (GBD) study. This study's objective to describe unintentional using GBD estimates from 1990 2017.Unintentional 2017 was estimated for cause-specific years life lost (YLLs), age, sex, country, region, Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintile,...
Background Past research has shown how fires, heat and hot substances are important causes of health loss globally. Detailed estimates the morbidity mortality from these injuries could help drive preventative measures improved access to care. Methods We used Global Burden Disease 2017 framework produce three main results. First, we produced results on incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability, deaths, life lost disability-adjusted 1990 for 195 countries territories. Second, analysed...
Abstract Snakebite envenoming is an important cause of preventable death. The World Health Organization (WHO) set a goal to halve snakebite mortality by 2030. We used verbal autopsy and vital registration data model the proportion venomous animal deaths due snakes location, age, year, sex, applied these proportions contact estimates from Global Burden Disease 2019 study. In 2019, 63,400 people (95% uncertainty interval 38,900–78,600) died globally snakebites, which was equal age-standardized...
Lip prints are very useful in forensic investigations. The objective of this study is to determine predominant lip print pattern found among a central Indian population, evaluate whether any sex difference exists and the permanence over 6 month duration. This included 200 healthy adult subjects comprising 100 males females age group 18-25 years. A convenient easier method data collection i.e., digital photography was used instead traditional lipstick methods. were then divided into four...
Identification of sex plays a vital role in forensic and medico legal investigations. Fingerprints are considered to be the most precise reliable indicators for personal gender identification. The objective this study was determine any significant difference thumbprint ridge density males females central Indian (Marathi) population enable determination gender. conducted on 200 subjects (100 100 females) age group 18–30 years. Ridge densities right- left-hand thumbprints were determined using...
Latent fingerprints are subject to easy damage and destruction owing their fragile nature. Powder dusting is the easiest fastest of methods used for latent fingerprint development (LFPD). In present study, Robin® powder blue, a common household product (used as post-wash whitening agent popularly known in India 'neel') which user friendly, less expensive, non toxic, hazardous, environment simple easily available substitute commercially costlier powders, has been LFPD. The was tested on...
The distribution of fingerprint patterns has been found to be varying amongst the different population groups across globe. Hence, this knowledge becomes crucially important in forensic investigations. present study was conducted on 480 healthy and consenting Muslim individuals (240 males 240 females) from Maharashtra State India. aims were determine frequency various patterns; establish most least predominant find out whether any statistically significant gender differences exist. Rolled...
Lip prints can provide vital information that may be useful for the purposes of forensic investigations. The current study was undertaken with aims determining distribution and predominant lip-print patterns in a Central Indian (Marathi) population evaluating whether any sex differences exist. subjects were 400 healthy consenting volunteers - 200 males females aged 18-25 years, from Marathi community. A simpler more convenient method data collection digital photography used. central (most...
The use of water to destroy evidences in criminal cases is common. It uncommon believe the usefulness recovered underwater terms its forensic significance regarding personal identification especially by investigating officers, who are responsible collect and analyse evidences. In this study, two main factors were considered which may impact condition fingerprint evidences: firstly, time duration for evidence remains submerged (0.5 h, 24 48 120 h), secondly, succession or number prints given...
E-waste or electronic waste is simply the discarded not in use electrical gadgets their parts. Increased of electronics modern era has led to a huge increase e-waste produced by each passing hour day. The growing out list providing opportunities for criminals carry illegal activities that surged worldwide. Crimes related includes range trades e-waste, environmental crimes and cyber-crimes. Even after "deletion" "formatting" storage media, data still present can be retrieved used ulterior...
This study was planned to evaluate the genetic diversity in admixed and Teli (a Hindu caste) populations of Maharashtra, India using 20 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers. We further investigated relatedness studied with other Indian populations.The showed a wide range observed heterozygosity viz. 0.690 0.918 for population 0.696 0.942 population. might be due multi-directional gene flow. The also high degree polymorphism which ranged from 0.652 0.903 0.644 0.902, respectively....
Abstract Venomous snakebite is an important cause of preventable death. The World Health Organization (WHO) set a goal to halve mortality by 2030. We used verbal autopsy and vital registration data model the proportion venomous animal deaths due snakes location, age, year, sex, applied these proportions contact estimates from Global Burden Disease 2019 study. In 2019, 63,400 people (95% uncertainty interval 38,900–78,600) died globally snakebites, which was equal age-standardized rate (ASMR)...
