Complex Use of Interstitial Pressure Recording Methods in Forensic Medicine
The aim of the investigation is to demonstrate the possibilities of using complex interstitial pressure recording method in postmortem and posttraumatic period.
Materials and Methods. There has been developed the complex of open injection methods of recording interstitial pressure in cadaver tissues in the areas of intravital injuries depending on injury age as well as in intact investing postmortem tissues and visceral organs. The methods are based on comparing interstitial pressure changes with the intensity of inflammatory processes, the character and the degree of intensity of postmortem changes, the cause of death, and histological changes in tissues under study.
Results. The studies carried out by means of these methods enabled to state the character of intravital traumatic injuries as well as the injury trauma have an effect on the interstitial pressure level in the affected area in postmortem period. The characteristics of thanatogenesis, postmortem processes (prescription of death coming, corpse position, effect of preservative liquids) in their turn effect on interstitial pressure in intact tissues in postmortem period.
The suggested methods of recording tissue changes in postmortem tissues enable to improve forensic medical examinations.
