Article Synopsis
- Alcohol-related deaths in Lithuania decreased by nearly one-third over the past decade but have increased since 2019, with a study analyzing 1,200 autopsies from 2018 to 2022 uncovering rising trends.
- The main causes of death identified were diseases (54.17%), accidents (31.25%), suicides (12.08%), and homicides (2.5%), with toxicology tests finding a significant link between higher blood alcohol concentrations and victims of accidents.
- The research highlights the role of alcohol intoxication in fatalities, emphasizing its impact on deaths from accidents and homicides, while also revealing differences in intoxication levels between genders.
We present successful treatment of a patient with tubular colonic duplication complicated by fecal impaction, perforation and fecal peritonitis. This anomaly is usually detected in children younger 2 years old. In adulthood, this diagnosis is of a precedent-setting nature.

The origin and localization of the enzymes are somewhat neglected when the measured activity is used to evaluate specific soil functions. The activity of four hydrolytic enzymes (-glucosidase, Cellobiohydrolase, Chitinase, Xylanase) and microbial diversity based on community-level physiological profiling were determined in samples of arable and native Phaeozems with increasing physical impact to soil solids.

- The study investigated the connection between alcohol use and sudden cardiac death in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) at a forensic service in Vilnius, analyzing autopsy protocols over five years.
- Approximately 33% of the 2133 selected cases of coronary heart disease (CHD) showed evidence of alcohol consumption, with a higher prevalence found in younger males compared to females.
- Alcohol was found more frequently in the winter and during holidays, and most alcohol-positive deaths occurred during the elimination phase with less severe coronary artery stenosis.
