At present, the death cases of simple asphyxiant gas acute poisoning are increasing sharply. Common asphyxiant gases in death cases include nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, methane, propane, laughing gas, etc. Simple asphyxiant gas has no affinity for biological matrices and escapes quickly, which puts forward new requirements for autopsy procedures, selection and collection of samples, laboratory analysis and identification. This paper reviews the research and development process of death cases caused by simple asphyxiant gas acute poisoning and put forwards the collection and analysis strategy of the samples in such cases. The most valuable biological samples in such cases should be lung tissues associated with the airways, followed by brain tissue and cardiac blood. Gaseous samples from the esophageal cavity, tracheal cavity, pulmonary bronchi, gastric and cardiac areas are also recommended as valuable samples. In the case of postmortem examination, the gas should be injected into gas sample bag directly. Biological materials such as tissue and blood should be directly sealed in head-space vials and analyzed by using the headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Neonatal encephalopathy represents a broad neurological syndrome which encompasses newborn foals presenting a variety of non-infectious neurologic signs and/or abnormal behaviors in the immediate postpartum period. It is recognized as the most predominant neurological disorder in neonatal foals. Prognostic factors can guide clinicians in medical decision-making, aiding in the establishment of survival probabilities.

Introduction: neonatal death is a global issue in both developed and developing countries. Evidence on determinants of neonatal mortality is scarce, particularly in the pastoralist and agro-pastoralist areas of Ethiopia, including the Somali region. This study aimed to identify the determinants of mortality among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units at selected public hospitals, in the Somali region, eastern Ethiopia.
