[Hair as a study object in case of poisoning with heavy metal salts].

The objective of the present work was to analyse the results of morphological studies of hair taken from the children with suspected thallium poisoning. The findings obtained by isoelectrofocusing, spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were compared with the relevant literature data. Original investigations included a comparative microstructural study along the hair length and cross section.

[Mycological and entomological methods for estimation of the time since death in forensic medicine].

The objective of the present paper was to summarize the results of experimental studies and expert estimation carried out by the authors to survey the process of cadaver biodecomposition under different conditions with special reference to the characteristics of soil biota at different burial sites. Criteria have been developed for the estimation of prescription of death coming and the identification of biotic communities of the corpse buried in the soil, saline and fresh water.

[A study of cadaveric mycobiota at the late stages of post-mortem changes within the forensic-medical verification of death coming and of bury place].

Data are described on the late stages of fungus populating in cadaveric remains (soil and other fungi). By week 2 after bury, the soil fungi grow through the cloths and skin of cadaver with the species mycobiotic composition of remains corresponding, on the whole, to a bury place. The woodland soils are distinguished through a more diversified species composition and total mycobiotic content, which can be valuable in establishing the fact and route of transfers of cadaver or of its remains even at late cadaveric changes.
