[Morphological diagnosis of obstetric pulmonary embolism].

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most common fatal complications in a wide variety of pathologies along the most common death causes of the population - diseases of the circulatory system and oncology. The development of PE in the postoperative and postpartum periods can also be fatal. The diagnosis of PE is very difficult and in 50-80% of cases it is not diagnosed at all.

[Clinical and anatomical analysis of mortality from COVID-19 in sudden death and in those who died in health care facilities].

Assessment of pathological and morphological changes in those who died from COVID-19 including persons received therapy in medical and preventive institutions (LPI) and who died suddenly from this pathology at home. The analysis data of the pathological and anatomical changes in 57 deaths from COVID-19 in hospitals and 74 forensic medical examinations where infectious pathology was established as the main cause of death are presented. For microscopy the sections were stained with hemotoxylin and eosin, OCG, immunohistochemical study with markers for CD3, CD 4, CD 20, SK-7.

Ultrastructure of Cardiomyocytes and Blood Capillary Endotheliocytes in the Myocardium under Conditions of Experimental Mechanical Injury to the Heart.

We studied ultrastructural changes in cardiomyocytes and blood capillary endotheliocytes in the ventricular myocardium in response to mechanical injury of the heart of varying severity in Wistar rats. Acute alterative changes in cardiomyocyte and endotheliocyte ultrastructure indicate impairment of the energy-producing, contractile, and protein-synthesizing functions of the cells after mechanical injury. These disorders play the key role in the development of acute contractile insufficiency of the myocardium in mechanical injury to the heart.

[The expert observation of myocardial contusion in a child].

A case of the myocardial contusion associated with the closed blunt chest injury in the girl aged 1 year 7 months is presented. The autopsy revealed hemorrhage of an irregular oval shape, coloured dark-red, and confined to the region with the area of 4.0 x 3.
