Study Notes
Wound Types and Characteristics
- Cut Wounds: Characterized by clean edges with a greater depth in the middle part.
- Chopped Wounds: Created by a blunt instrument that causes a deep incision with irregular edges.
- Lacerations & Bruises: Lacerations are tears in the skin with jagged edges, while bruises are caused by blunt force, resulting in blood vessel rupture.
- Puncture Wounds: A piercing wound caused by a sharp object with a small entry and exit point.
- Gunshot Wounds: Caused by a projectile from a firearm, often with a defined entry and exit wound.
- Abrasions: Characterized by scraping away of skin with a crust that indicates the time of appearance.
- Punch Injuries: Result in splintered, terraced, cobweb-like, and holey fractures of flat bones.
Trauma and Injuries
- Whiplash: Occurs during collisions, caused by neck torsion, resulting in a fracture of the cervical spine.
- Laceration: A tearing of the skin, caused by a blow, compression, or friction, leading to damage to the tissue.
- Concussion: Characterized by hemorrhage in the ligamentous apparatus, multiple lacerations, and distant fractures.
Injuries from Specific Weapons
- Punch Wound: The form is determined by the shape, direction, and length of the piercing object.
- Gunshot Wound: The volume of gunshot damage is determined by the bullet, powder gases, and the muzzle end of the weapon.
- Explosive Wave: Characterized by barotrauma, ruptures of internal organs, separation of body parts, and shrapnel wounds.
Signs of Death
- Cadaveric Spots: A discoloration of the skin caused by blood settling in the lowest parts of the body.
- Rigor Mortis: The stiffening of the muscles after death, caused by chemical changes in the body.
- Hypostasis: The settling of blood in the lowest parts of the body, leading to the formation of corpse spots.
- Corpse Spots: Occur 6-8 hours after death and may be affected by ambient temperature, humidity, and actions of insects.
Post-mortem Changes
- Corpse Cooling: The rate of cooling is influenced by subcutaneous fat, ambient temperature, and humidity.
- Cadaveric Rigor: Rigor mortis appears in reverse order of its commencement.
- Corpse Spots: Can move completely within 12-15 hours after death.
Forensic Medical Examination
- Degree of Severity of Harm: The permissibility of bodily injury is decided by a court.
- Pre-existing Conditions: Prevention of fatality through medical care must be considered when determining the severity of harm.
- Qualifying Sign of Grievous Harm: An open fracture of the femur diaphysis can be considered a qualifying sign of grievous harm.
Other Key Points
- Verdohemochromogen: This substance is responsible for the green discoloration of blood.
- Special Weapons: Include homemade revolvers, sawn-off shotguns, small-caliber rifles, and rocket launchers.
- Bullet Identification: Bullet identification can assist in identifying the type of weapon used.
- Gunshot Wound Features: The presence of an interrupted wound channel can provide clues to the number of shots, shot distance, and posture of the victim at the time of the injury.
- Exit Gunshot Wound: A belt of sedimentation often forms in the area of the exit gunshot wound.
