[The possibilities for the expert diagnostics of the injuries for the purpose of examination of the remains of the strongly burnt and carbonized corpses].

The objective of the present study was the analysis of the publications in the domestic and foreign literature containing the reports concerning the experience with forensic medical expertise of the strongly burnt and carbonized human corpses. Flame is known to sometimes cause injuries simulating the intravital wounds. Such injuries are categorized into the following types.

Laparoscopy versus laparotomy in management of abdominal trauma.

Background: A majority of abdominal injuries (AIs) are associated with shock, hence most of the patients are hemodynamically unstable, which limits the use of video-assisted laparoscopy (VAL) in their management. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the possibility of using VAL in management of stable and unstable patients with abdominal trauma.

Methods: In a period of six years 2,695 patients with AIs were evaluated.
