[Actualization of assessment of morphologic features of incisions and chop wounds of 'barrier' tissues of the head].

Aim of this study is to determine the influence of the basic conditions of the traumatic interaction of cutting and chopping objects with 'barrier' tissues of the scalp on the formation of morphological signs of damage. It was suggested to perform the comparative analysis of the morphological signs of incised and chopped scalp tissue wounds obtained by changing one given parameter in experimental damage modeling. The influence of the basic conditions of the traumatic interaction of cutting and chopping objects with the 'barrier' tissues of the scalp on the formation of morphological signs of the resulting damage was determined.

[Specific features of the injuries to the head inflicted by hits with long objects with the impact surface of various shape].

The article was designed to characterize the specific features of the injuries to the head inflicted under experimental conditions by hits with long objects with the impact surfaces of various shape. The data obtained can be used to improve the conduction of forensic medical expertises for the identification purposes. A combined approach for the layer-by-layer description of head injuries is proposed to be used for the identification of morphological features of interest.
