Rupture of gravid uterus during pregnancy is a rare entity. Overall incidence of rupture of uterus during pregnancy is 0.07%. The maternal and fetal prognoses are bad especially when the rupture occurs in an unscarred uterus. Fortunately, the sole major risk factor of spontaneous rupture of unscarred uterus is preventable, which is "multiparity." In this article, we report the death of a pregnant woman and her unborn child because of spontaneous rupture of unscarred uterus.
Lungs are vital organs involved in various diseases like infectious, inflammatory, non- neoplastic, neoplastic lesions and involved secondarily in almost all forms of terminal diseases. As pathological examination of lungs gives valuable information, autopsy is performed to know the distribution and progression of diseases and to detect undiagnosed lung diseases.To study the histomorphological spectrum of lung lesion at autopsy irrespective of cause of death andto assess the frequency of different types of lesions. Autopsy specimens of lungs of individuals above 18years of age, irrespective of cause of death were collected from the Department of Forensic Medicine, Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences, Belagavi for a duration of 18months. 89 out of 115 cases were males, while 26 were females. In the present study, non neoplastic lesions were more common and rare lesions like amniotic fluid embolism, honey comb lung and a case of bilateral metastatic lung carcinoma was reported.Post-mortem examination of diseased lung offers the chances to establish a diagnosis and help us to confirm an uncertain antemortem diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
