Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Accurately assessing time since injury of the wound would help to establish the time of actual occurrence of events. Filling the blank of time gap help the investigating police officer to come to the fact and can also make conclusion whether the injuries are as a result of single or split events. In the evolution of medical field and in the administration of justice combining morphology and histopathological changes for determining the age of injury provide a high degree of reliability.Timepoint: Accurately assessing time since injury of the wound would help to establish the time of actual occurrence of events. Filling the blank of time gap help the investigating police officer to come to the fact and can also make conclusion whether the injuries are as a result of single or split events.The research is of 6 months study period.
