This is due to various complications that may occur during pregnancy, labor or thereafter. Maternal mortality is universally considered as human development indicator in a country and determines the health status of the people. Information on maternal mortality is required to determine this status and to set priorities for policy making and programmatic and operation research strategies. This study was conducted to determine the maternal mortality rate and associated epidemiological characteristics in a tertiary care hospital. Method: A retrospective hospital-based study of 55 maternal deaths was conducted over a period of one and half year from January 2017 to June 2018. Maternal mortality rate, epidemiological factors were assessed and results were analyzed using percentage and proportion with the help of Microsoft Excel 2007. Result: A total...

Research paper thumbnail of Cardiac laceration without any external chest injury in an otherwise healthy myocardium – A case series

Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, 2013

The heart is relatively well protected within the thoracic cavity from all the sides. Thus it is ... more The heart is relatively well protected within the thoracic cavity from all the sides. Thus it is rather uncommon to find a cardiac laceration in cases of blunt trauma to the chest and that too when there is no evident injury to the chest wall. Several cases with history of death following blunt trauma were autopsied by us in recent months. Out of them, 3 cases that did not exhibit any external chest injury revealed hemopericardium following rupture of a cardiac chamber. The volume and suddenness of appearance of the hemopericardium were sufficient to cause tamponade. These case reports underline the importance of a systematic and complete autopsy in all cases of blunt trauma deaths even though they may be having no external injury. They also highlight that myocardial injury must be ruled out in every living patient presenting with blunt chest trauma even in the absence of an external sign.
