[Case of elongated styloid process detected in forensic medical examination of skeletal remains].

There are cases of skeletal developmental features that have high identification significance for the search of missing person in forensic medical practice of skeletal remains examination. The features of the skull's anatomical structure may indicate the presence of some clinical syndromes, for which a person could have sought medical attention in the lifetime. In the described case, elongated styloid appendages of the temporal bones were identified on the skull of an unknown person found within the territory of the Leningrad region, which could be a sign of the stylohyoid syndrome (Eagle syndrome).

[Abnormal development of the hard palate revealed during the forensic examination of bone remains].

In the forensic practice of examining bone remains there are cases of anomalies' detection of the skeleton development which have a high identification value for the search for a missing person. The most valuable ones are the features of the facial skull anatomical structure since they are usually well visible and recorded in photographic and medical documents. In the presented case an anomaly in the hard palate development was revealed on the skull of an unknown person found in the Leningrad region - a cleft caused by its underdevelopment.

[VARIANT ANATOMY OF SPLENIC LIGAMENTS AND ARTERIES PASSING THROUGH THEM].

The research was performed on 15 non embalmed bodies and 32 abdominal complexes of adult individuals. The comparative study of variant anatomy of splenic ligaments and architectonics of arteries passing through them was carried out to substantiate the mobilization of splenopancreatic complex. Anatomical and angiographic restudied were carried out using preparation, morphometry, injection of gastric, pancreatic and splenic vascular bed with red lead suspension.

[Architectonics of gastric arterial bed in norm, after Nissen fundoplication, and its different combination with splenectomy and left gastric artery ligation].

A comparative study of the effect of the combination of Nissen fundoplication, different variants of splenectomy ligation of left gastric artery on stomach wall arterial bed blood fillability was carried out on 40 human corpses in 6 research series. The red lead paint suspension was used for the injection of arterial bed. It was shown that combination of Nissen operation andligation of stomach short arteries during splenectomy and left gastric artery trunk in its intraligamental part resulted in the impairment of the stomach wall blood supply.
