Uterine inversion refers to the condition where the fundus is turned inside and positioned within the uterine cavity. Uterine inversion is a life-threatening and uncommon obstetric emergency that can be fatal because of postpartum hemorrhage and shock. Acute uterine inversion is the most common type, which occurs within 24 h of delivery and is usually associated with untrained birth attendants and a lack of knowledge of labor-inducing drugs.

- Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is a toxic substance readily available in unregulated markets in developing countries, posing serious health risks due to lack of antidotes.
- The text describes three unique cases where AlP was detected in abdominal subcutaneous fat postmortem, highlighting a previously unreported method for detection amid challenges like decomposition and other interfering substances.
- Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis confirmed AlP presence in both routine viscera and abdominal fat, suggesting that subcutaneous fat can effectively be used for toxicological testing, even in decomposed bodies.
Wound age estimation is a crucial medicolegal task for forensic pathologists. The main objective of the current study was to evaluate the ability of the histopathological profile and immunohistochemical markers (CD14 and IL-8) to predict the age of abrasion and, furthermore, identify the relationship between the histopathological profile and immunohistochemical markers in abrasion aging. The study involved postmortem cases (n = 246) of abrasion injuries in which the injury infliction time was known.
