  • VARIATION IN SHAPE OF CORONOID PROCESS OF ADULT DRY HUMAN MANDIBLE IN RELATION TO GENDER IN NORTH INDIAN POPULATION – AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
    Abhishek Sangal, Mithun Ghosh, Ashok Srivastava, Bhim Singh
    Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, 2023
    Mandible, a bone well known since decades for determination of age and sex in an individual among forensic experts, possesses coronoid process, a triangular flat piece of bone projecting anteriorly in the upper part of ramus of mandible. This process depicts variations in shapes due to attachments of muscles of mastication.Evaluation of incidence in shape of coronoid process along with variation amongst gender and sides of mandible within a given sample.A total of 125 adult human dry mandibles (i.e.,250 coronoid process); both male and female; collected from Department of Anatomy and Department of Forensic Medicine at Subharti Medical College, Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut were studied and analysed.Triangular shape was the most common type (59.2%), followed by hook shape (28%) and rounded type (12.8%). The triangular shaped coronoid process predominates in both the sexes (M=39.2%, F=20%). Out of the 3 shapes; Triangular (32.4%), was predominantly observed on right whereas hook (15.2%) and rounded (6.8%) were comparable on both sides. This study shall benefit not only Forensic pathologists, Forensic anthropologists, Forensic odontologists, Forensic scientists, anatomists in determination of sex from complete/fragmentary mandibular remains, but also useful for maxillofacial surgeons performing reconstructive and sinus surgeries.
  • ESTIMATION OF STATURE FROM CRANIAL DIMENSIONS AT AUTOPSY
    Mithun Ghosh, Vinita Kushwaha, Abhishek Sangal, Alok Kumar
    Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, 2023
    Stature is one of the basic requisites in Forensic anthropology that can aid in the identification of an individual. It helps to distinguish between multiple individuals who are the same in ancestry, sex, and age, providing a circumstantial or presumptive identification. Human skull is sometimes recovered without other long bones and stature estimation using human cranium can give valuable information about stature of that individual thus helping in its identification. There are very few studies of stature estimation using cranial dimensions in India and hence this current research aims to utilize the different cranial dimensions and to test the accuracy and validity of these measurements in estimating the stature on Indian population. There is significant correlation of stature with these parameters for both males and females in this study, the standard error of estimate in the present study is about 5 to 8 cm. Linear regression analysis was done to estimate stature.
  • Patterns of homicidal deaths in population of western Uttar Pradesh
    Abhishek Sangal, Mithun Ghosh, P K Bansal, AK Srivastava, Bhim Singh
    Journal of Indian Academy of Forensic Medicine, 2019
    Homicides are common cause of loss of human lives since ancient times. This study was conducted to find out the method, cause and circumstances causing homicidal deaths in present era, especially in Northern Uttar Pradesh. A total of 227 homicidal deaths were studied for epidemiological and medico-legal aspects in dead bodies brought to the mortuary of LLRM Medical College, Meerut for medico-legal autopsies between June 2017 to October 2018. All the data thus collected was compiled and analysed in detail. The majority of the victims (70.92%) were males, and young adults (60.34%) between 21–40 years of age. Sharp edged weapons (50.66%) and firearms (29.96%) were used in the majority of the homicidal victims. Assailants had tried to hit on vital areas in almost all the cases, of which multiple areas were involved in more than 2/3rd (69.61%) of the cases. Head was the commonest individual body part involved in 18.06% cases of homicides. Haemorrhage and shock were the most common cause of death (62.99%) and disputes on money and/or property remained the most important reason behind the homicides (23.34% cases).
  • A comparative study of role of alcohol in two wheeler V/S four wheeler in road traffic accidents
    Mithun Ghosh, Abhishek Sangal, Bhim Singh, A.K Srivastava
    Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, 2018
    Nearly 500 million people are injured worldwide every year by road traffic accident, of which more than 12 million lose their lives. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) have emerged as a major global public health problem of this century. The two wheelers now-a-days have great pick-up & high speed. Driving a two-wheeler is definitely risky than a four-wheeler. The risk to driver or pillion rider increases by many folds during the ride. Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the important causes of road traffic accidents. Alcohol was implicated in nearly 1.8 million deaths globally, accounting for 3.2% of total deaths, 2.5% of total years of life lost, 6% of total years of life disabled and 4% of the total disease adjusted life years. An attempt is made to find out role of alcohol and other related factors responsible for heavy casualty in road accidents.
  • Forensic pathological study of drivers exploring the role of alcohol in road traffic accidents
    Abhishek Sangal, A K Srivastava, Amit Kumar, Bindu Sharma, S Naagtilak
    Journal of Indian Academy of Forensic Medicine, 2015
    Road traffic accident is one of the leading causes of trauma, disabilities and deaths. Nearly 50 crore people are injured across the world every year of which more than 12 million turned into fatal. Amongst the various causes of road traffic accidents, rash driving is one of the major causes of accident which is substantiated by driving under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol not only inhibits self-control but impairs the judgment and visual acuity, affects safe driving that's why it is restricted all over the world. In this study, the person who were driving and injured in road traffic accidents, were investigated for epidemiological and clinico-pathological characteristics including causes/factors responsible for the accidents. All the victims were male above 15 years of the age and motorcyclists were the most (82.52%) injured. Fault of the driver was the commonest (53.39%) reason behind the accident and large number of them (23.30%) had consumed alcohol before driving. This was also confirmed by estimating concentration of alcohol in blood by Vitros Auto-analyzer.
