The purpose of this study is to estimate trend of intentional self-harm methods and recovery rate by using ICD (International Classification of Diseases)-10 codes (X60-X84). Methods: The analysis was based on data of intentional self-harm injury in 2005-2016 from hospital discharge registry investigation in Korea. Results: Through 2005-2016, intentional self-harm by drug was the most common. Self-harm caused by pesticides has decreased since 2012, but those caused by gas has increased rapidly since 2008. By ages, pesticide poisoning by intentional was the most common in 60s and 80s, except those ages, self-harm by drug was the most frequent. The number of intentional self-harm was 1.2 times higher for women than for men, and for women, the rate of self-harm caused by drug was more than half. In the case of men, self-harm caused by pesticides was the most common, and they did various self-harm methods compared to women. The recovery rate tends to increase compared to the past, but as the age increases, it tends to decrease. In particular, the recovery rate of 'hanging' was significantly lower at 48.1%. Conclusions: Therefore, in order to increase the rate of recovery of the selfharm injuries that have already occurred, it is necessary to establish a variety of systems such as rapid reporting system and transfer to medical center.

The current chapter deals with forensic chemistry & toxicology which is completely based on the introduction and classification of poisons and their impacts on the body and the factors affecting them and detection and examination of poisons. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss their mode of action and function once they reached in the human body. The impacts of poisons are severe and even cause death if not treated properly.

This study aimed to obtain basic regional data of legal autopsy cases observed in the Jeollabuk-do province concerning causes and manner of death. We investigated 170 autopsy cases (114 males [67.0%] and 56 females [33%]) performed at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Chonbuk National University Medical School, in 2016. Of these, seven (4.1%) were children aged <10 years. Regarding the manner of death, there were 95 unnatural deaths (55.9%), 69 natural deaths (40.6%), and six deaths from unknown causes (3.5%). Among the 95 unnatural deaths, 29 suicides (30.5%), 10 homicides (10.5%), 52 accidental deaths (54.7%), and four undetermined deaths (4.2%) were recorded. Concerning causes of unnatural death, there were 39 traumatic injury-related deaths (41.2%), 10 asphyxiations (10.5%), 25 poisonings (26.3%), 13 thermal injury-related deaths (13.7%), and eight deaths due to drowning (8.4%). The most common cause of unnatural death was injury from falls (n=15), followed by agrochemical poisoning (n=12), traffic injury (n=12), and death from fire (n=11). Of 69 natural deaths, 31 were from cardiac diseases (44.9%), eight from cerebral or vascular diseases (11.6%), 12 from digestive system diseases (17.4%), one from respiratory system disease (1.4%), five from endocrine/metabolic/nutritional disorders (7.2%), and nine due to causes of unknown origin (including sudden manhood and sudden infant death syndromes) (13.1%).
