[Introduction to forensic gerontology].

Objective - to substantiate the identification of a new direction in forensic medicine - forensic gerontology. A statistical analysis of the structure of forensic medical research of corpses in terms of age for a twenty-year period has been carried out. The data on the features of the expert assessment of injuries in old age taking into account geriatric syndromes and aging syndromes have been analyzed.

A Novel Method for Amyloid Detection in Human Tissue Load Using a Fluorescent Dye - Congo Red Analogue.

Unlabelled: was to develop a new technology for the detection of amyloid in human tissues based on the fluorescent dye, disodium salt of 2,7-(1-amino-4-sulfo-2-naphthylazo)fluorene (DSNAF).

Materials And Methods: Synthesis of DSNAF was performed by diazotization of 2,7-diaminofluorene in a stream of argon followed by azo coupling with naphthionic acid. Identification of DSNAF was performed using MALDI mass spectrometry.
