Domestic violence can range from physical harm to sexual, psychological, and economic abuse, and it often escalates over time. Burns are one of the finest manifestation of domestic violence including severe pain, disfigurement and long term health complications. The recovery phase is also subject to mental, social and physical stress. Survivors are subject to experience severe anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Nursing care is what that can be answer to all above described mental and physical stress in the recovery phase or period of hospitalization. Aim: To explore whether the nursing care do play a role in recovery of burn injuries inflicted due to domestic violence. Methodology: The study included 250 victims of burns due to domestic violence who presented in AED of the Jinnah Hospital and filtered in the medicolegal clinic of the AIMC Lahore during the January to August period of the year 2018. An observational researched method was applied to rural and urban areas of the jurisdiction of said research setting. Results: The study results show that professional nursing care and specialized health services plays a pivotal role with a grossly significant p value of 0.000 helping the burn victims of domestic violence to recover from their injuries as compared to general nursing services. The terminal outcome as also found significant with 0.025 p value. Conclusion: The specialized health services and professional nursing care can significantly alter the outcome of the burn injuries. The likely outcome and complications can be avoided if a better and targeted services in reference to burn care could be rendered to the injuries of burns due to domestic violence. Hence the study emphasizes on the practicality of the role of nursing care as a vital aspect in terms of recovering from burning injuries.

Objective: To find out and evaluate to the number of cases, natural of cases (known, unknown) and unique reference to mode, manner and cause of death of medicolegal autopsies Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Forensic Medicine, Lahore General Hospital, Lahore from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2022. Methodology: Two hundred and forty six medicolegal autopsies were gathered. The perceptions kept in proforma with an accentuation on the gender of subjects, cause of death (natural, un-natural), manner of death, mode of death of known and unknown cases and month-wise variation of post-mortems. Results: One hundred and eight were natural deaths and 138 were un-natural. Gunshots represented 36% of the deaths through 18% were physical assault related deaths.158 cases were known while the 88 were obscure cases. Conclusion: In larger part of the medicolegal post-mortems male populace was involved and brought about by gunshot wounds (homicidal). August and October were the months where greater part of the cases came. Keywords: Medicolegal autopsy. Mode, Manner, Known and un-known
Background: Forensic odontology has a advance role in identifying a deceased person using dental records. Because of the growing trend of litigation around the world, precise recording of clinical dental operations has become increasingly necessary. Objective: To see the endodontic obturation radiographs have a hidden function in identification. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Dental OPD, Central Park, Lahore and Private Clinics of Lahore from 1st March 2022 to 31st August 2022. Methods: From the digital X-ray system's data bank, 30 periapical radiographs of patients who had endodontic treatment of the mandibular left (first molars with three canals) were randomly selected. The ante-mortem data "Set 1" consisted of post-operative radiographs. From the thirty radiographs, ten were reprinted, labelled (A-J), and deemed post-mortem data "Set 2."This "Set 2" post-mortem group of 10 radiographs would be compared to the "Set 1" ante-mortem group of 30 radiographs. Ten dentally educated persons would examine these two sets of radiographs. Each examiner was given thirty radiographs from "Set 1" and ten radiographs from "Set 2," with the task of matching the individual post-mortem radiographs ("Set 2") with the ante-mortem radiographs ("Set 1"). Results: Thirty four examiners had a 100% success rate, 4 examiners had a 97.5% success rate (1 mismatch), and 2 examiners had a 95% success rate (2 mismatches). Conclusion: On the off chance that after death radiographs are precise duplicates of endodontic obturated radiographs, the obturation's novel shape can be taken advantage of for forensic ID. Keywords: Forensic odontology, Endodontic obturated radiographs
Background: Burn injuries are the trauma to live human tissue as result of some burning source including fire, flame, heat, electricity or some chemical. The interrelated intricate complexity of the place of occurrence and incidents of burns had long been a scope of interest to medical and medicolegal personnel. Aim: To investigate the association of incidences of burns with their place of occurrence. Methodology: The research data has been collected from the victims of domestic burn presenting in the Accident and Emergency Department (AED) Jinnah Hospital Lahore and filtered at the medicolegal clinic of Alama Iqbal Medical College Lahore. A total of 250 burns of domestic violence were registered from January 2018 to August 2018 and were included in the study after fulfilling the exclusion and exclusion criteria. Observation research method was carried out with descriptive cross-sectional study design by applying quantitative questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study population consisted of the rural and urban areas of the area of drainage of the said research settings. Results: The study revealed highly significant association with medium of burns and place of occurrence grossly taking place at home with scalds as most frequent medium with 0.000 significant p value. Single or unmarried population was strongly associated with p value 0.004 facing burn injuries at home. Professional population versus amateur had also shown strong association for place of occurrence as home for burn injuries with p value 0.021 though less marked in professional population. The study concludes that scalds as commonest medium, single unmarried persons involved more than married ones and home of the victim was an easy target for the perpetrators. Conclusion: The study revealed strong association of medium of burns, marital status and proficiency of the population for incidence of burns frequently had home setting as a place of occurrence.
