The post-mortem biochemical determination of hypoglycaemia in the practice of forensic medicine is notoriously imprecise and attracts perennial criticisms, particularly from those who may be alien to the peculiarities of medical jurisprudence. There has been re-emphasis recently on the neuropathological pathoclisis ascribed to prolonged hypoglycaemia. Unfortunately, the value perceived is limited by pathognomonic unreliability owing to agonal multifactorial influences and rapidly fatal nocturnal hypoglycaemia. The predicament is oppressive to a consideration of preponderant evidence and an unpopular diagnosis of perimortem hypoglycaemia, unless audacious, may be precluded simply because the proof is difficult. This is likely to contribute to diagnostic under-estimation of enigmatic diabetic deaths. A suspected case of lethal nocturnal hypoglycaemia in a young diabetic on ‘animal’ insulin is presented to restore some perspective to the clinico-pathological deference for an endangered post-mortem diagnosis of hypoglycaemia inferred from minimal evidence.

Introduction: A rigorous characterization of the impact of residential status of medical students (hostelites vs. day scholars) on the particulars of their academic performance has been lacking in Pakistan. Objective: To determine the relation of residential status of third year MBBS students to their academic performance in Forensic Medicine based on comparison of their pre-professional and professional examinations results during 2019. Materials & Methods: A comparative study was conducted from August to October 2019 on the examination performance of third year MBBS students of Rehman Medical College, Peshawar in the subject of Forensic Medicine. The results of theory and viva pre-professional and professional examinations were compared and categorized by residential status of students (Hostelites or Day Scholars). Students were categorized into groups according to their academic performance. Descriptive and Comparative data analysis was performed by SPSS 22.0, keeping p≤0.05 as significant. Results: No significant difference was found in the mean marks of hostelites and day scholars in pre-professional and professional examinations. The trend of significant improvement from pre-professional to professional examinations was similar in both groups, and it applied to both the theory and viva examinations. A significant correlation existed between the performance in two examinations among all students with no difference between the hostelites and day scholars. Conclusion: Residential status of MBBS students had no effect on their academic performance in the subject of Forensic Medicine. Keywords: Academic performance, Forensic Medicine, hostelites, day scholars

Amongst Professor Dickens’ extensive writings on medical law and medical jurisprudence are a host of distinguished contributions on the subject of the proper legal and ethical limits on human experimentation. As early as 1975, Professor Dickens was examining the legal aspects of human experimentation. A few years later he was promoting the responsibility of researchers to recognize and protect human rights in medical experimentation. In the last two decades, Professor Dickens has penned a rich flow of scholarly contributions on the legal and ethical rights and duties in medical experimentation and the need to do better as a research community. His articles have considered a broad range of issues in medical experimentation including the imperative of voluntary consent, the ethical unacceptability of co-ercion or inducement of research participants, embryonic research, epidemiological research and the protection of vulnerable research participants, particularly children.

secara garis besar pemanfaatan atau pendayagunaan ilmu kedokteran khususnya ilmu kedokteran kehakiman dalam sistem peradilan pidana, baik di-lihat dari sudut aparat penegak hukum, penyidik, penuntut dan hakim; maupun dalam kaitannya dengan pemanfaatan ilmu tersebut di dalam pelaksanaan bantuan hukum yang diberikan oleh lembaga-lembaga bantuan hukum, sesuai dengan tugas dan fungsinya sebagai bagian dari perangkat penegak hukum. Ilmu Kedokteran Kehakiman (Ilmu Kedokteran Forensik, Forensic Medicine, Legal Medicine, Medical Jurisprudence), dapat diberi batasan sebagai pemanfaatan atau pendayagunaan ilmu kedokteran guna kepentingan peradilan. Ilmu kedokteran kehakiman adalah merupakan cabang atau spesialisasi khusus dari ilmu kedokteran, yang mengkhususkan di dalam memberikan bantuan guna kepentingan peradilan, yaitu di dalam perkara-perkara pidana yang menyangkut tubuh, kesehatan dan nyawa manusia. Di dalam kaitannya dengan sistem peradilan pidana, maka keterlibatan ilmu kedokteran kehakiman terletak di dalam upaya bukti, memberikan penilaian secara ilmu kedokteran terhadap barang bukti, membuktikan apakah perkara pidana yang menyangkut tubuh, kesehatan atau nyawa manusia itu memang benar telah terjadi, atau sebaliknya, tidak dapat dibuktikan telah terjadinya suatu perkara pidana. Dengan demikian pemanfaatan atau pendayagunaan ilmu kedokteran kehakiman sebenarnya sesuatu yang berkelanjutan, dimulai pada saat atau taraf penyidikan, penuntutan dan pemeriksaan di sidang pengadilan demi kepentingan korban; akan tetapi di sisi lain ilmu kedokteran kehakiman tersebut dapat pula dimanfaatkan pihak pemberi bantuan hukum, demi kepentingan tersangka, tertuduh, terdakwa pelaku suatu kejahatan.
