[Forensic, clinical and anatomical aspects of diagnosising diaphragmatic injuries in stab wounds].

Aim: To improve the quality of clinical and forensic examination and diagnosis of diaphragmatic injury (DI) from stab wounds by defining the boundaries of the thoraco-abdominal region and the topographic and anatomical characteristics of thoracoabdominal stab wounds.

Material And Methods: Based on the results of forensic medical examinations of 81 corpses with stab wounds, the clinical and anatomical characteristics of thoraco-abdominal stab wounds were noted; and in anatomical dissections of 90 cadavers, the boundaries of the intercostal spaces and costophrenic recess were modeled.

Result: The boundaries of the thoraco-abdominal region, and the location of stab wounds that make the probability of DI particularly high (10-50%) were clarified.

[Conventional and minimally invasive surgery in diagnosis and treatment of thoracoabdominal wounds].

Aim: To develop the algorithm of optimal combination of conventional and minimally invasive procedures for surgical diagnosis and treatment of thoracoabdominal wounds (TAW).

Material And Methods: The most common borders of TAW were analyzed in 81 bodies of victims. Typical borders of costodiaphragmatic pleural sinus were assessed in 90 male cadavers.

[Comparative organometric characteristic of cerebellum of the young and old age].

The science work is based on morphological research of cerebellums of 219 corpses of people (108 man and 111 woman) of young and old age. There were used such research methods as organometric, histological and morphometric. During study a comparative analysis of the mass, linear dimensions, thickness of cerebellar cortex of young and old age was conducted.

[Morphological features of structural organization of cerebellar cortex in old age].

In this science work there were conducted such researches as organometric, histological, immunomorphologic and morphometric of cerebellar cortex of 219 corpses of people (108 man and 111 woman) of young and old age. A comparative analysis of the parameters of bulb-shaped neurons in these ages revealed decrease of their height and width. It is found that distance between interval nerve cell bodies of ganglionic layer increases with age that obviously associated with progressing disorganization and death of bulb-shaped neurons.

[Pleural drainage for the treatment of the acute empyema].

Treatment of 675 patients with the acute pleural empyema was analyzed and supplemented with anatomometric investigations of costophrenic sinus in 60 male corpses. Technical features of effective pleural drainage were fundamentally substantiated and depicted in pictures and schemes. The original method of the retrograde thoracoscopic drainage with the original device were suggested.
