Abstract: Preterm premature rupture of membranes is as rupture of membranes before 37 weeks gestational age. It is a common complication of pregnancy associated with significant maternal, fetal and neonatal morbidities and moralities. An understanding of is critical in providing appropriate Intervention to prevent poor pregnancy outcomes. Therefore this study assessed the prevalence of preterm premature rupture of membranes and associated factor among pregnant mothers admitted at Adama Hospital Medical College labor and delivery ward, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia 2022. Methods: Facility based cross-sectional study design was employed among 211 pregnant women who were come for labor and delivery at Adama hospital medical college town and study participant were selected by systematic Random sampling technique. Data was collected by trained data collectors using semi structured and pretested questionnaires. The collected data were coded and entered in to Epi info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 20 for cleaning and analysis. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize socio demographic characteristics, reproductive health related data and to describe magnitude of service satisfaction. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the associated factors. Result: The prevalence of preterm premature rupture of membrane was 13.3%. About having history of STI (AOR: 2.61, 95% Cl: 1.4, 4.7), abnormal vaginal discharge (AOR: 3.04, 95% CI: 1.6.5.7) and having history of PROM (AOR: 3.8, 95% Cl: 2.02-7.3) were factors associated with preterm premature rupture of membranes.Abstract: Preterm premature rupture of membranes is as rupture of membranes before 37 weeks gestational age.

Abstract: The incised wound is the wound which has a clean-cut margin and dangerous only if they penetrate deeply enough to damage a blood vessel of significant size as it is evident in this study. It is a common method of homicide all over the world. Precise examination of the wound along with the type of other wounds considering their site, shape, direction, number and orientation of the wounds in relation to each other etc. provide a number of clues which may be of paramount importance in reconstruction and interpretation of the whole event. This is a retrospective study carried out in Forensic Medicine Department of Sylhet M. A. G. Osmani Medical College Sylhet, Bangladesh from July, 2010 to June, 2011 and in the year of July, 2017 to June, 2018 to observe different patterns of injuries in fatal cases of incised wound. Male are more victimized than female. The pattern of injury that found to be most common is chop wound which means deep gaping incised wound with or without decapitation and along with multiple blunt force wounds like laceration, bruise and abrasion on different sites of the body as defense wounds. The statement of the witness if supplied in the inquest report and medico-legal examination of the wound when not in contradiction can be a valuable evidence. Although in absence of witness and partial decomposition of the wound can make the differentiation of the homicide, suicide, accident most difficult for the forensic pathologist.Abstract: The incised wound is the wound which has a clean-cut margin and dangerous only if they penetrate deeply enough to damage a blood vessel of significant size as it is evident in this study.
