[Gunshot damage inflicted by a short shot from some special-purpose arms].

Inlet damage to clothes material caused by point-blank shots from a special submachine guns Val, 9-A-91, sniper complex BCK-4 furnished with a soundless non-flame shooting devices (SNSD) was studied in experiment. Specific features of the affection and shot products distribution (shape, size, topography, accumulation of soot metals, etc.) were specified which allow judgement about guns and range of shot.

[Mechanogenesis and morphology of a closed trauma of the liver inflicted by blunt hard objects (mathematical estimation)].

A retrospective analysis was made on traumas associated with hepatic injury. Signs-lesions in different kinds of trauma are characterized. A mathematic probabilistic method for differential diagnosis of a traumatic impact by hepatic lesion was applied.

[Biochemical indices in establishment of the time and cause of intracranial hemorrhages].

The contents of glucose, glycogen, creatinine and urea were examined in 240 samples of cadaveric blood; the same examinations were made for 240 samples of the myocardium, as well as of muscles of the skeleton and liver in craniocerebral trauma and acutely impaired cerebral circulation. A statistically reliable dependence of the contents of glucose and glycogen on a trauma extent was defined.
