The article continues the cycle of scientific research devoted to the reconstruction of the tragic events of Russian history by the methods of forensic medical examination. The archival data of the criminal case on the murder in Kiev in 1911 of the Prime Minister of Russia P.A. Stolypin has been published in the scientific literature first time. Formulation a forensic diagnosis and reconstruction of the posture of the victim were done based on comparison of the data from the inspection of the scene, the characteristics of the firearms and the results of the examination of the body. The obtained data arguably disprove the positions of the victim and the killer, which are generally accepted in journalism and artworks.The criminal prosecution of medical workers for harm to the health of patients is currently one of the actively developed areas of work of the Investigative Committee. Investigators have a very vague idea about the peculiarities of the objects of evidence in this category of cases, which leads to an abundance of issues in the ruling, the resolution of which often does not allow achieving the goal of the investigation. This leads the issuance of new decisions and producing of many additional and repeated examinations. The passive position of the experts does not improve the situation either. The methodology for investigating cases of harm to the patient’s health by a doctor during the production of forensic medical examinations in criminal proceedings requires an expert to actively participate in establishing the circumstances to be proved. This methodology is proposed at the training cycle of the Department of Forensic Medicine of the Military Medical Academy named after V.I. C.M. Kirov. The article provides a previously unpublished generalized scheme of the algorithm that can be used in the production of forensic medical examinations in this category of cases.

Taking into account the climate of the seasons of Uzbekistan was stressed the importance of a comprehensive assessment of the dynamics of the development of cadaveric changes and supravital reactions, together with the results of biochemical, morphological and morphometric studies of the brain, other organs and tissues at different times of the postmortem period in certain groups. It could be used to develop additional criteria for establishing the onset of death in a hot arid zone.

Is to develop a method for determining amlodipine in the tissues of organs and blood, applicable in the practice of forensic chemical analysis. TLC, normal pressure column chromatography, HPLC and GC-MS were considered as methods of analysis. Amlodipine was isolated from the biomaterial by insisting twice with acetone for 30 min using a 2 1 mass-isolating and biomatrix agent. The purification of recovered analyte was done in a column (150×10 mm) of a 30 µm Silasorb S-18 sorbent, eluting with an acetone – water solvent mixture (82). Preliminary identification was carried out in a thin layer of sorbent on «Sorbfil» plates, which was confirmed by HPLC and GC-MS methods. Determination by GC-MS was carried out in a column with a stationary phase of 5% phenyl-95% dimethylpolysiloxane. The fragmentation of molecules was an electron impact with an energy of 70 eV. Methods for the determination of amlodipine using GC-MS in biomatrix have been developed, which meet the criteria of linearity, selectivity, correctness,ods. Determination by GC-MS was carried out in a column with a stationary phase of 5% phenyl-95% dimethylpolysiloxane. The fragmentation of molecules was an electron impact with an energy of 70 eV. Methods for the determination of amlodipine using GC-MS in biomatrix have been developed, which meet the criteria of linearity, selectivity, correctness, precision and stability. The limits of detection and quantitative determination of amlodipine in organ tissues (liver) are 0.14 and 0.24 μg/g, in blood – 0.12 and 0.20 μg/g, respectively. The methods were applied in the examination of a case of amlodipine poisoning and made it possible to determine the analyte in some organs and blood of the corpse.The aim of the work is to test theoretical prognosis of metrological characteristics of methods of quantitative determination in forensic chemical analysis on the example of method of determination of verapamil content in blood by thin layer chromatography with computer densitometry. The algorithm of prognostic determination of relative error for methods of quantitative analysis in forensic chemical examination using computer program «ChemMetrEvaluation 1.0» is offered. The implementation of the algorithm is based on a detailed analysis of error estimation of measurements at the stages of sample preparation, measuring the value of the analytical signal.

Is a complex microbial-zoological characterization of the post-mortal period and ways of its determination during forensic examination. The heterotrophic component of the microflora of the corpse and its bed were studied using standard methods of microbiological research and PCR analysis, necrophilic insects – entomological method, and damages from some vertebrate animals – traditional methods of their analysis. We studied 125 corpses of humans, pigs, chickens, mice and some other representatives of mammal class weighing from 100 g to 100 kg at different times of decomposition. We isolated and studied more than 1000 isolates of microorganisms, more than 32 000 insects and more than 100 damages caused by rodents, dogs, cats and birds. We determined the main trends in microbial decomposition of dead bodies. The general characteristics of the corpse decomposition by insects are given and anatomical-topographical and morphological features of the corpse damage by some vertebrates are established. Significant Thcroorganisms on the corpse.The aim of the work is within the framework of medical and forensic medical identification developing of scientifically based diagnostic criteria for determining growth by the parameters of the scapula. We examined 108 corpses aged 19 to 99 years old. from the Central region of Russia in 2016. Death reasons cardiovascular diseases, acute poisoning with ethanol and/or narcotic drugs and concomitant mechanical trauma. Were used research’s methods morphological, morphometric, osteometric and as well mathematical statistics. New formulas have been obtained to determine the body’s growth by individual parameters of the scapula. Using those formulas will make possible to reasonably reduce the range of osteological studies aimed to targeted recruitment of a specific material, which will reduce the time and economic costs in general for conducting morphometric studies of bones, as well as increase the evidentiary value of expertise in criminal proceedings.The aim of the work is assessment of the efficiency of detection the biological traces by various sources of expert light. Hidden traces of blood, saliva, semen and urine were detecting on various types of carrier objects. Was described the biological appearance depended on both the nature of the material and the properties of the carrier object color, the presence of luminescent substances in the composition, the nature of the surface (smooth, fleecy), thickness, ability to adsorb and conduct liquid. Recommendations were given for the effective searching of biological traces on material evidence using expert light sources.The aim of the work is to study the design features of cartridges with multi shells for a smooth-bore hunting rifle of 12 mm caliber and results of firing these cartridges from various distances. Were revealed the morphological signs and features of injuries to tissue targets hit from a distance of 5-40 m. Was argued a necessity to continue a comprehensive study of the issue with the subsequent development of criteria for differential diagnosis of this type of shot injuries.The aim of the work is to consider the problematic issues of forensic medical assessment of neurological manifestations of injure of the caudal spine. The current edition of the Medical criteria of characteristics doesn’t contain clear qualification and interpretation of definitions of the health severity in patients with injury of the caudal spine. Proposed to determine the health damage by the outcome in accordance with the degree of persistent loss of general ability to work when examining spine injuries with clinically established neurological deficits in the absence of danger to human life.The purpose of the work is to actualize the importance of forensic diagnostics of bodily injuries caused to victims of serial murders with signs of sexual motivation as a special category of crimes causing public resonance and negative statistical indicators of investigation efficiency. Based on the results of forensics in serial homicide investigations, common signs of injuries for most victims, methods of their generalization and solving situational problems are presented. The totality of the data obtained made it possible to identify the most stable diagnostic criteria that determine the specifics of serial murders in the forensic aspect. The application of such criteria in practice ensures that objective data necessary to prove both serial murders and signs of sexual aggression are obtained at the preliminary investigation and the stage of legal proceedings.Presented the reviews of the recommendations to the forensic community on raising questions when prescribing forensic medical examinations in case of adverse outcomes of medical care is given. Were analyzed 50 decisions of investigators of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation on the conduct of forensic medical examinations in the regional bureaus of forensic medical examination, as well as non-state experts.
