Determining the time since death is one of the most important tasks in the practice of experts, especially in the investigation of criminal cases. However, the various methods currently available often give wide ranges of time values and sometimes contradict each other, which does not meet the needs of the investigating authorities. All this encourages the world’s leading scientists to find high-precision methods for establishing the posthumous interval, applicable to routine use in practice. Microscopic research methods are considered to be the most subject to these criteria.Aim of the work. Review of modern literature data on the features of the study of microscopic changes in human tissues in order to diagnose the time since death.Conclusion. Based on the above, it is necessary to introduce into the practice of forensic and pathological services new promising methods and technologies for diagnosing the age of death, which would ensure its accurate defi nition, taking into account diff erent types of death and adverse factors.
Background. Fractures of the lower limbs are one of the most common injuries in road traffic accidents, however, the frequency and localization of fractures, as well as associated trauma, are not well understood. The purpose of the study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of forensic medical examinations of victims with the road traffic injuries of the lower limbs. Results. The research material was 100 reports of forensic medical examinations of victims with fractures of the femur and/or shin bones resulting from
The aim: The aim of this research was to study causes of the development of adverse outcomes in isolated femоral diaphyseal fractures.
Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of the protocols of clinical and radiological examination of 21 patients was performed. Based on the initial expert assessment, these patients have not been established the severity of injuries due to the development of complications in the postoperative period.
Conclusions: Patient-dependent, implant-dependent, and surgery-dependent causes that caused a violation of the stability of osteosynthesis (95.2%) were identified. This led to a secondary displacement of bone fragments (71.4%), delayed fracture consolidation (61.9%), the formation of pseudarthrosis (38.1%), the development of post-traumatic osteomyelitis (14,3), migration of screws from the osseous plate (47.6%), and the development of post-traumatic contracture of the knee joint (81.0%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
