ABSTRACT
Poor school performance, defined as a lower than expected academic achievement for a given age, cognitive abilities, and schooling, is complex and multifactorial. Poor school performance can result in child with low self–esteem and can cause significant stress to the parents. It is essential that cause for the poor school performance to be identified and appropriate strategy or treatment plan to be started early so that child can perform with full potential. Disorders of the auditory system affect academic performance are well known. Unlike speech and other behavioral auditory processing tests, auditory evoked potential (AEP) can be recorded regardless of a child’s developmental age or language, motivation or attention level. AEP can provide numerical data that can demonstrate central auditory nervous system maturation and, therefore can function as a biomarker of poor academic performance. Present study focuses on the researches that are done on the auditory evoked potential in poor school performance till recently
ABSTRACT
In medicolegal practice, the examination of injuries is very important to solve the medicolegal problems like weapon identification, age of the injury, fatality, ante mortem or postmortem etc. Commonly the firearms are classified like rifled guns and smooth bored guns. Usually cases encountered are from these weapons. In these weapons gun powder is used to propel the projectile. The preliminary knowledge of these weapons is important to identify the weapon. In case of airgun, compressed air is used to propel the projectile. An airgun is a rifle, pistol or shotgun which fires projectiles by means of compressed air or gas in contrast to a firearm which burns a propellant. Most airguns use metallic projectiles called as pellets. The death due airgun is rare. The death that happened in this case is discussed in detail due to rarity of its kind. During the injury examination, the analysis of the injury is important. Its size, shape, nature of margins, abrasions coller, grease coller, tattooing, soot, and burns are all to be noted in firearm injuries to decide the weapon, entry or exit wound etc.
