[The comparative characteristics of sawcuts across the femoral bone].

The objective of the present work was to study the differences between the morphological features of the wounds in the long tubular bones inflicted by joinery hand saws designed for longitudinal and transverse, sawing. The experimental injuries to the femoral bones were inflicted by the recurring and reciprocating saw movements. The hand saws had 5 mm high "sharp" and "blunt"-tipped teeth.

[The morphological features of skin wounds inflicted by joinery hand saws designed for different types of sawing].

The objective of the present work was to study the morphological features of skin wounds inflicted by joinery hand saws designed for longitudinal, transverse, and mixed sawing. A total of 60 injuries to the thigh skin inflicted by the recurring and reciprocating saw movements were simulated. The hand saws had 5 mm high "sharp" and "blunt"-tipped teeth.

[Clinical and roentgenological diagnostics of the severity of mucositis in the patients presenting with chronic suppurative otitis media].

The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of mucositis and its roentgenological manifestations in the patients presenting with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). A total of 390 patients with CSOM (mesotympanitis) and 85 ones suffering CSOM with concomitant mucositis were available for the observation. The signs of mucositis were evaluated based on the patients' complaints, results of otomicroscopy, and computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bones.

[Differential atticoanthrotomy with type 1 tympanoplasty as the method of choice for the treatment of chronic perforating otitis media with expressed mucositis].

The authors report the results of surgical treatment of 37 patients (42 ears) presenting with chronic perforating otitis media and grade I-III mucositis. All the patients were treated by differential atticoanthrotomy with type 1 tympanoplasty. Most of them suffered seriously disturbed ventilation and drainage functions of the Eustachian tube.
