This document discusses drowning cases and presents information on:
1. Classification of drowning cases into typical and atypical categories based on the presence or absence of fluid inhalation.
2. The pathophysiology and findings associated with different types of drowning including fresh water, salt water, dry drowning, and secondary drowning.
3. Important postmortem findings that can aid the diagnosis and medico-legal investigation of drowning cases, including the presence of froth, water in the lungs, diatoms in tissues, and cutis anserine skin changes.
Drowning is an inhalation of liquid in respiratory tract leading to suffocation and death. it can be wet or dry drowning depending upon the water entering in trachea. some times water touching the larynx leading to spasm and complete closure leading to dry drowning.

Conclusion
Deep sea diving and physiological response to high barometric pressure Ranadhi Das
Sea water is approximately 800 times more dense than air. Therefore, it exerts much greater pressure on the body of a diver.
The weight exerted by the atmosphere on an area of 1m2, is approximately 10,000kg at sea level. This value of pressure (10,000 kg m-2) is thus referred to as 1 atmospheric absolute (1 ATA), or 1 atmospheric pressure.
For every 10m(~32feet) below the surface a person dives, he is subjected to an additional pressure of 1ATA. Therefore, at 30m, a diver will experience a pressure of 4 ATA (1 ATA exerted by the atmosphere, & 3 ATA exerted by the 30m of water above him).

Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Drowning:
Is a form of asphyxia due to aspiration
of fluid into the air passage, due to
submersion in fluid or water.
Complete submersion is not necessary,
that of mouth and nose alone for a
sufficient period can cause death from
drowning.
Introduction…..
4.
5.
6. Classification …
• Typical
• Atypical
Typical drowning
Obstruction of air passages and
lungs by inhalation of fluid and is
known as “Wet drowning”.
Typical signs are found at autopsy.
7. Atypical drowning….
Conditions in which there is very little or
no inhalation of water or fluid in the air
passages.
Dry drowning.
Immersion syndrome(vagal inhibition).
Submersion of the unconscious.
Secondary drowning syndrome/near-
drowning.
8. Typical drowning….
Fresh water drowning.
Salt water drowning.
Fresh water drowning
Water cross the alveolar membrane into the
circulation.
Produces marked hypervolemia.
Red cells swell or burst-hemolysis-liberation
of potassium.
Circulation will suffer 50% dilution within 2-3
min.
9. The heart is submitted to the insult of
anoxia,hypervolaemia,potassium excess
and sodium deficit.
Ventricular fibrillation due to anoxia
and potassium excess within 4-5 min.
Salt water drowning
Marked hypertonicity of the inhaled
water cause loss of fluid from
circulation into the lungs-fulminating
pulmonary edema and progressive
hypovolemia.
Circulatory shock and cardiac arrest.
10. Atypical drowning
Dry drowning
Intense laryngeal spasm due to entry of
water into nasopharynx and larynx.
Very little water enters into lungs.
Best case for resuscitation.
Immersion syndrome
Due to sudden impact with very cold
water and causes death from cardiac
arrest.
Victims are young people with excess of
alcohol.
11. It also result from falling or diving with
feet or duck diving by the inexperienced
swimmers.
Loss of consciousness instantaneous and
death occurs in few minutes.
Autopsy disclose non of the usual signs
of drowning.
Submersion of the unconscious
Commonly seen if the victim is suffering
from disease like epilepsy,heart diseases
and is drunk or head injury during fall.
12. Ballooning of the lungs may be absent.
Formation of the foam my be negligible.
Complete picture of death by drowning is not
found.
Secondary drowning/near-drowning
Its mainly due to infection from inhalation of
contaminated water.
Lung complications, oxygen lack, tired heart
muscle and cerebral edema.
A victim look alert and breathing, may
respond to initial resuscitation.
Late stage-respiratory distress, hypotension
and cardiac arrhythmia may cause death.
14. Medico legal aspects….
Whether the death was due to drowning
or other cause?
Length of time the body was in water.
Whether it was
accidental/suicidal/homicide?
15. Postmortem findings…..
External findings
Fine froth at the nose and mouth. Its
whit or rarely blood stained, leather-
like, abundant and increases in amount
with compression of the chest.
Rarely the presence of weeds, mud etc. in
the tightly clinched hand.
16. Cutis anserine(Goose skin)…
Due to spasm of the erector pilae muscles and due
to exposure to cold water at the time of death.
Rarely seen in India.
Skin appears granular and puckered, with hair
standing on the end.
Extremities are mainly affected.
The skin of the finger, palms and later the soles of
the feet may be wrinkled, bleached and sodden.
Due to osmotic action of water, on thickened
epidermis.
This immersion changes known as Hands and
Feet of a Washer-Woman.
17. Internal findings….
Lungs & respiratory tract:-
Airways filled with froth,sand,weeds etc found in the water.
Lungs are voluminous,edematous,doughy to feel with rib
markings.
Paltauf’ hemorrhages seen.
C/s:- Oozing out of blood stained frothy fluid and ballooning
of the lungs is known as “Emphysema Aquosum”.
Wt upto 2 kgs.
Watery fluid transudates into pleural cavities during
putrefaction.
Hydrostatic lung:- 2meters depth-20min.
Hemorrhages in the middle ear & mastoid air cells.
Water in the stomach & intestine.
18. Biochemical changes….
“Getlers test”
Chloride content in chambers of the heart
normally 600mg/100ml.
Chloride decreases by 50% in fresh water &
increases of 40% in salt water.
Test is of doubtful value in
-Septal defects
-Putrefaction
-Death due to vagal inhibition
-Chloride in water
19. Diatoms ….
Microscopic unicellular algae present in water.
Silicaceous cell wall which resists acid
digestion, heat and putrefaction.
Size 10-80 microns.
Only a live body with a circulation can
transport diatoms from lungs to the brain or
bone marrow.
Isolation- acid digestion of tissue commonly
bone marrow,lung,blood and kidney-
centrifugation and washing. Residue is examined
under phase contrast microscopy.
20. Cause of death….
Asphyxia
Ventricular fibrillation
Laryngeal spasm.
Vagal inhibition.
Exhaustion.
Injuries.
Fatal period 4-8min.
21. Diagnosis of drowning….
Froth
Weeds & gravel/soil in hand.
Voluminous lungs.
Diatoms in tissues.
