Background: Decapitation of bodies is a rare event in industrial accidents and accounts for about 0.1% of forensic autopsies. Decapitation has been reported in cases of suicidal, homicidal, and ACCIDENTAL deaths, and there are several examples of autopsy findings that are indicative of each mode of death.Case Report: We report a case of an ACCIDENTAL decapitation of a worker in an automated wood laminating industry. Based on the circumstances at the site, the police presupposed foul play. The scene investigation revealed that the worker had attempted to adjust the alignment of hot pressed wood manually which suddenly started to move and the worker was struck between the laminating machine and the moving board at the level of his neck which caused decapitation of his neck.Conclusion: Examination revealed that the neck was severed at the level of the second and third cervical vertebrae. This case was unusual as the mechanism for the decapitation was a blunt force.

Objective: To asses the frequency, causes and how to increase the awareness of childhood poisoning. Material & Methods: A retrospective study of childhood ACCIDENTAL poisoning was conducted in Tafila Prince Zeid Hospital (PZH) by reviewing the files of 134 children admitted with ACCIDENTAL poisoning in 2003-2005. Findings: This study showed that ACCIDENTAL poisoning was frequent but morbidity was low and there were no deaths. Analgesics and antihistamines were the most frequently ingested drugs. Conclusion: The frequency of ACCIDENTAL poisoning is common in Tafila. Household chemicals and medication were the predominant. So, that merits the introduction of a public awareness campaign and increased use of child-resistant containers is important preventive measures that deserve more attention.

Background: Most of our current understanding of the biological effects of exposure to ionising radiation is based on conventional cytogenetic techniques, which enable us to determine the relationship between chromosomal aberration and dose received by radiation workers. However, conventional techniques have numerous limitations and chromosomal aberrations can be easily missed. Since FISH plays an important role in detecting chromosomal changes, this method was used to reassess data derived from previous studies employing conventional techniques. Materials and Methods: Two groups of radiographers were the subject of a study on conventional chromosomal aberration and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) for translocation. The first group was chosen following an ACCIDENTAL contamination incident in a nuclear medicine department. The second group was composed of six radiographers working in an X-ray department with a previous record of overdose as recorded by film-badges; these workers had been the subjects of a previous chromosomal study. Coded blood samples from 11 radiographers and 11 controls were analysed for chromosomal aberration and by FISH for translocation. 200 metaphases from the peripheral blood lymphocytes per subject were analysed to investigate possible frequencies of chromosome and chromatid type aberration and 2000 metaphases per subject were scored in FISH method.Results: There was no significant difference between the radiographers and the control groups in conventional analysis; also there was no significant difference at the 95% level of confidence in FISH analysis. There was no correlation between levels of translocation and total lifetime doses from occupational (according film-badge and TLD) and/or background IRRADIATION. Conclusion: The overall conclusion is that the frequency of chromosomal damage in both groups of radiographers did not exceed that of the control group

Acetamiprid is a first generation systemic neonicotinoid insecticide, routinely used for crop protection against sucking type insects. It is likely to be of low toxicity in mammals but severe poisoning may occur if ingested in large amount. A case of buffalo with ACCIDENTAL ingestion of acetamiprid was presented with severe gastrointestinal symptoms and respiratory distress. The patient was managed successfully with symptomatic and supportive treatment. As far as the present report is concerned, it is the first report of acute acetamiprid poisoning in buffalo from India. From this report it is concluded that awareness programs about safe use of pesticides should be implemented.

Objective: Acetaminophen is an over-the-counter drug in Iran. Intentional and ACCIDENTAL poisoning with this drug is one of the most frequent causes of admission to our center. We studied the outcome of poisoning with this drug in our hospital.Methods: Over a two-year period from January 2005 to January 2007, 85 patients who were admitted to Sina Hospital for acute acetaminophen poisoning, were followed up. Identification and outcome of patients were according to a physical examination, medical history, lab data and duration of hospital stay.Results: Acute acetaminophen poisoning occurred in both genders and all age groups. Approximately 64 percent of patients were female. Children had minimal involvement and were usually ACCIDENTAL poisoning type (98%). In adults, admissions were more likely to be due to suicide attempts rather than ACCIDENTAL poisoning. The majority of cases were in hepatotoxic dose, but clinical courses were mild. Patients, who had acutely ingested more than 150 mg/kg or predicted to be hepatotoxic due to impaired liver function testes, had a longer hospital stay but in spite of this, we did not have any mortality.Conclusion: Overdose with acetaminophen in adults was often indications of suicidal behavior, and in children was usually of ACCIDENTAL type. The outcome was generally good in spite of common acetaminophen poisoning.

One of the fundamental questions regarding religion’s teachings is how to classify them. The main topic of this article is the division of religion into essential and ACCIDENTAL issues expressed by some writers. The meaning of the two terms in this view is different from their meaning in other places. The ACCIDENTAL teachings form 99 percent of the commands in this approach. These teachings are not the real Islam thus we are not obliged to obey them. According to the above theory, the two main reasons for considering Islam’s commands ACCIDENTAL are: they are either conditional propositions with false antecedents or they are answers to the questions asked from lawgiver. To evaluate these reasons, none of them are completely correct. The conditional propositions with false antecedents have the fallacy of confusing motivation and the motivated. The second reason has some problems as well including the fallacy of generalizing the predicate of an exception to all cases. The method of gathering data in this article is library research and the method of processing them is an analytic-critical method.

Background-Unintentional poisoning is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity among children in many parts of the world today. Methods-In this descriptive retrospective study, medical records of 3895 patients (3790 out-patients) were studied from clinical and paraclinical point of view in 1995 at Loghman Medical Center, Tehran, Iran. Results-Kerosene (Hydrocarbon) was found to be the most common cause of unintentional poisoning in children (23.5%). Two hundred and sixteen products were identified as various causes of children poisoning. Fifty eight percent of child poisoning was under the age of six, with a peak age of 2-3 years (25%). Conclusion-Most children poisonings are due to available medications, hazardous liquids and house products.
