Poisoning is a common mode of suicide in developing countries like India, particularly in agricultural workers. A total 350 cases of poisoning were analysed during the two year period from January, 2007 to December, 2008. The emphasis was given on age, sex, socio-economic status, rural / urban, type and mode of poisoning. The most common type of poisoning was found to be organophosphorus (67.43%) and the least was prallethrin (All out) (0.28%). The Common motive of poisoning was suicidal in both male (63.43%) and female (32.58%), especially in young population of rural background with agricultural occupation. One probable reason for this could be due difficult geographical topography of hilly terrain, totally monsoon dependent agricultural practice and poor socio economic status of the population specific to this area.Keywords

In recent years a new kind of rape threat has reared its ugly head at parties, on campuses and in nightclubs - so called "predator" or "date rape" drugs. What exactly are date rape drugs? Technically speaking, any substance that renders you incapable of saying no or asserting yourself and your needs can be used to commit rape. This can include things like alcohol, marijuana or other street drugs, designer or club drugs like ecstasy, over-the-counter sleeping pills and antihistamines, even cold medications. However, the term "date rape drug" usually applies to the drugs Rohypnol, Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate (GHB) and Ketamine Hydrochloride, because these drugs can easily be mixed in drinks to make a person black out and forget things that happen. Both girls and guys who have been given these drugs reports feeling paralyzed, having blurred vision, and lack of memory.References

This study was carried out to estimate the relationship between foot length and stature using simple linear regression analysis based on a sample of male and female adults of Uttarakhand Region. Measurements of foot length and stature were taken from 125 adults (62 male, 63 female) aged 17-24 years. The participants were students of the UFHT Medical College, Haldwani of Kumaun University, Nainital. Obtained data was analysed and attempt was made to find out correlation between foot length and height of an individual. A good correlation of height was observed with foot length and it was statistically highly significant. The results of the present study would be useful for Anthropologists and Forensic Medicine Experts.Keywords
