For each one, it describes identifying features, active toxic principles, signs and symptoms of poisoning, treatment, and potential medicolegal importance as accidental or intentional poisons.
Opium
This document summarizes information about opium and its effects. It discusses that opium is derived from poppy plants and contains alkaloids like morphine and codeine. It can be administered orally, intravenously, by inhalation, or through other orifices. Its effects include an initial excitement stage, followed by a stupor stage and then deep narcosis. It acts on opioid receptors in the central nervous system. Prolonged use can lead to morphine dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Naloxone is used as an antidote for opiate overdoses.
Abrus precatorius
Abrus precatorius is a climbing plant found in India. Its seeds are highly toxic due to the presence of abrin, a toxalbumin that is 100 times more poisonous when injected subcutaneously compared to ingestion. Symptoms of poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and weakness within hours of exposure. Treatment involves gastric lavage, activated charcoal, purgatives, and sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the toxin. The seeds have been used for homicides, to induce abortions, as arrow poison, and to harm cattle.
Calotropis
This document discusses Calotropis, a plant with two common types that contain milky latex with toxic active principles. When the latex contacts skin or eyes it causes irritation, inflammation and blistering. Ingestion leads to burning pain, vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal heart rhythms and potentially death within 6-12 hours. Post-mortem findings include dilated pupils, lung and organ congestion, and brain edema. Treatment involves stomach pumping, demulcents and IV fluids. The plant has various medicinal and poisonous uses and accidental or intentional poisoning sometimes occurs.

Mechanical injuries_Forensics
Mechanical injuries caused by sharp cutting weapons like knives can be classified as incised wounds, chop wounds, or stab wounds based on the action used. Incised wounds are caused when an object is drawn across the skin, producing a clean cut. Chop wounds result from a heavy blunt force weapon and are typically deep and gaping. Stab wounds occur when a narrow pointed object is thrust into the body, leaving a small, puncture-like entry wound. The shape, size, depth, and direction of the wound can provide clues to the weapon used and the events that caused the injury. Careful examination of wounds and potential weapons is important for medicolegal investigations.
