На підставі судово-медичного аналізу 318 переломів довгих кісток нижньої кінцівки висвітлено їх розподіл за статтю, віком, локалізацією, орієнтацією лінії перелому, характером і видом зовнішньої дії та умовами виникнення. Окреслено перспективи судово-медичних досліджень довгих кісток нижньої кінцівки.

Проведено порівняльне дослідження часової зміни розподілів ступеня деполяризації лазерного випромінювання, розсіяного тканинами печінки з метою пошуку нових параметрів діагностики часу настання смерті.

Процеси європейської інтеграції України привели до необхідності реформування всіх сфер життя держави та її суспільства, у тому числі вищої школи. Тому реорганізація вищої освіти в Україні на основі нового визначення ролі та функції вчителя, здійснення практики державних галузевих програм потребує перебудови освітніх підходів у контексті сучасних вимог та можливостей . З часу прийняття закону про академічну мобільність така форма вдосконалення педагогічних навичок як стажування стала дуже популярною серед викладачів вищої школи. Наведно стажування викладачів кафедри судової медицини та медичного правознавства Вищого державного навчального закладу України "Буковинський державний медичний університет" в інституті судової медицини Федеральної Республіки Німеччина.

Introduction: The widespread use of electricity both in industry and everyday life leads to relatively frequent incidents of electrical trauma including fatal cases. It is commonly known that autopsies findings in electrocution deaths are often inconclusive because of lack of specific morphological changes. Most deaths by electricity are usually caused by cardiac rhythm disorder or respiratory arrest [1], which changes is non-specific exclusively for electrocution and may overlap with findings in any case of sudden death. Thus, a local skin lesion, the so-called current mark, continues to be the most important evidence and sometimes the only sign of the influence of electrical current on the body. Specific macro- and microscopic skin changes caused by electric current can be not only reliable signs of electrocution, but in some cases may be a source of information about conductor properties, current conditions etc. Data of this type can be obtained first of all by using additional methods of examinations, in particular the qualitative elemental analysis method, which could be a reliable way to assess the chemical composition of the conductor material. Thus, using the full range of available methods of examination of skin lesion caused by electrical current can improve the capabilities of forensic medical examination of the corpses of people who died from electrical injuries.

In modern medical diagnostics, optical methods of studying living tissues have become widespread and are collectively called "optical biopsy". One such method is autofluorescence microscopy, which provides additional information about the structural and functional features of the sample. In this paper, an analysis of existing data was performed on the properties of autofluorescence of cells and tissues to evaluate the available instrumental systems and methods for monitoring auto fluorescence and the potential for its application in the biomedical field. Over the past few years, advanced optical-electronic methods have become available to detect various pathological conditions of tissues and environments of the human body by evaluating signals emitted by endogenous fluorophores. Because these molecules are often involved in basic biological processes, they are important parameters for checking the condition of cells and tissues. In our opinion, analytical methods based on autofluorescence monitoring have great potential in both research and diagnosis, and interest in the use of these new analytical tools is constantly growing. Methods based on autofluorescence can give more information about the object under study with relatively lower costs and less diagnostic error.
