Height is one of the important factors required to establish the individuality of an unidentified body or mutilated part of such body. In the current study an effort was made to calculate the height from percutaneous tibial length (PCTL) as measured by surface anatomical landmarks. Statistical analysis of the data collected from 100 individuals from Baglkot was done to find out the relationship between of PCTL with that of height and to derive a regression equation formula. By using this formula we can calculate the height of an individual when only mutilated leg portion is available for autopsy.Keywords

Deaths due to burns though rare in the western context are frequently encountered in the Indian scenario. A study was conducted at Government General Hospital Gulbarga over a period of five years to find out the incidence and influence of different factors leading to fatal burns injury. Out of the total 525 cases studied maximum were found in the age group of 20-30 years. 115 patients were brought dead and the remaining 410 succumbed later after the admission. Among these 161 cases survived for five days after the injury. Most common cause of death in our study was septicemia which accounted for 343 cases. Maximum number of deaths i.e., 450 was accidental in nature and least common was homicidal deaths accounting for only 23 cases. The paper also describes the comparison between our study and studies conducted by different authors across the country to find out the similarities and dissimilarities in various factors affecting the burns victims.Keywords

Suicide is one of the common causes of unnatural death. As suicide continues to be a major problem, a retrospective and prospective study of sociodemographic profile, reasons for suicide, method of suicide and various trends of suicidal distribution in Gulbarga region was conducted over a period of five years from 1st January 2000 to 31st December 2004 using the data from hospital admission papers, police records, postmortem reports, suicide notes if any and history from the relatives&friends accompanying the deceased. Out of 2528 autopsies conducted in District Hospital of Gulbarga, over a period of 5 years, 464 were suicidal deaths. Majority of the victims were in the age group of 20 to 30 years, the mean age being 30.58 years. Nearly two-third of the victim were from rural areas. Distribution of suicidal cases showed slight male preponderance, majority of the victims being illiterate and unemployed. Poisoning was the most common modality of suicide followed by hanging and the least being the firearm injury. Chronic illness was the most common reason for suicide. Psychiatric illnesses, financial crisis, harassment by in-laws were the other main reasons for suicide in majority of the cases. Maximum number of suicides occurred at victims' residence.Keywords
