[Organization of specialized health care of children who have suffered during traffic accidents in the Moscow Region].

The paper describes some experience in organizing and delivering specialized emergency health care to children who have suffered during traffic accidents in the Moscow Region, by attracting the forces and means of a disaster medicine service. In May 2004 to October 2008, examinations were made among 615 children, 552 of whom were evacuated to Moscow by intensive care cars (n = 469) and medical helicopters (n = 83). The paper shows that the two-stage medical victim medical evacuation provision system is effective and provides evidence for prospects for putting the developed model into practice of rendering a medical aid to traffic accident victims on out-of-town highways.

Pelvic polyfractures in children. Radiographic diagnosis and treatment.

Results of clinical and radiographic examinations of 43 patients, 4 to 15 years old, with pelvic polyfractures during acute- and long-term periods of trauma, and postmortem and experimental data were presented. A high rate of diagnostic mistakes and treatment failures in patients with pelvic polyfractures are defined. Depending on the location and pattern of pelvis injuries, the main reasons for complications are determined.

[The possibilities for detecting pelvic injuries in children (comparative x-ray, computed tomographic and morphological studies)].

The authors analyze the possibility of detecting pelvic injuries in children on an inpatient basis by x-ray examination and computer-aided tomography and by morphological methods during forensic medical autopsy. A total of 146 cases are analyzed. X-Ray examination helped diagnose only 47.

A linear biopolymer in the vicinity of the triple point. The homopolymer case.

This is a theoretical study of a situation where each residue of a linear biopolymer may adopt one of three conformational states. Such a situation exists in the case of DNA, since it may be in helical A, B, . .
