age of child does not correspond to date of pregnancy and dna fingerprints is confirmatory
wht is raygats test
it is based on fact tht breathing increases lung volume which is more thn required to compensate weight of addition blood sp gravity is diminished after respiration
cause of false negative raygats test
sinking of unexpanded lung
•atelactasis
•lung ds like pneumonia, pulmonary edema, congenital syphilis
false positive test raygats test r
putrefaction artificial inflation of lung
when is raygats test unnecessary
gestational age<180 dys
•fetus is macerated ,mummified •stomach contains milk
• scar has formed due to umbilical cord separation
fodere’s test is
due to blood flow to the lung weight is increased when respiration establishes weight of both lungs is doubled after respiration
ploucquets
test is
blood flow in lung bed is increased after breathing tht their lung wht/body wht ratio is doubled after respiration
1: 70 unrespired lung
1: 35 respired lung
ploquet’s propotional ratio
wht is breslau’s second life test
air will be swallowed and so may pass into stomach and small intestine when respiration establishes
legal age by which fetus can survive is
24 wks
avg length of full term child is
50 cm
wht is vagitus uterinus
cry of unborn in uterus
vagitus vaginalis
cry of unborn in vagina
macerated fetus indicates
dead born
wht is Spalding’s sign
loss of alignment and overriding of skull bones in IUD

wht is superfecundation
fertilisation of 2 ova which hve been discharged from ovary by 2 separate acts of coitus at short intervals
wht is superfoetation
fertilisation of 2 separate ova realsed from ovary in different cycles so fertilisation of second ovum in women who is pregnant 2 fetus r of different stages of development
name few signs of respiration
chest circumference is larger thn abdomen in live born
•diaphragm is at the level of 6th-7th in live born and higher in still born
difference in putrefaction between still birth and child who took some breaths and then died
in still born putrefaction starts from outside to inside whereas in alive born putrefaction starts from inside to outside
most usual change in IUD
maceration
it is aseptic autolysis because membranes are not ruptured and fetus is enclosed in sterile condition i
time taken for macerated to occur
3-4 days when dead fetus is surrounded with liqour amnii but exclusion of air
does not occur if child is born in <24 hrs of death
wht is robert sign
gas in great vessels of fetus with IUD
give signs of maceration
•skin slippage earliest within 12 hrs
•gas in great vessel
•collapse of vertebral column showing hyperflexion crowding of ribs
• body flattens out when placed on level
large blebs on skin easily peeled skin
•spalding sign
