The article describes the results of studying the effect of hypothermia on skeletal muscles and microcirculatory vascular bed of rats in the experiment. Hypothermia was modeled by placing animals in individual cells in water at the temperature of 5 °C, at an ambient temperature of 7 °C. It is shown that along with the damaging effect on muscle tissue and microcirculatory vascular bed, hypothermia is a powerful activator of the mast cells’ and macrophages’ activity. Interstitial mast cells and macrophages are important factors in the process of adaptation of the body to the effect of hypothermia.

The article highlights the results of experimental studies of the thoracic and abdominal cavities, chest and abdomen organs of 23 cadavers with sudden death with the use of new high-tech diagnostic methods, video endoscopic technique. The results of the experimental studies were archived, after that a standard study of the cadaver with the opening of the cavities and extraction of the organ complex was performed to confirm the results of the study.

There is a case of death of an infant with rare cardiac pathology presented.

At a fracture of one rib participating in breath without injury of a parietal pleura, only violation of volume of respiratory movements owing to protection of the damaged body which always makes term less than three week is possible. Therefore, without objective symptomatology of disorder of protective and physiological function of a thorax, in the presence of only a Х-ray picture with a fracture of one rib we recommend to establish a little harm to health.

The article is devoted to the collection of cadaveric blood for forensic biochemical research. New rules for sampling cadaveric blood for obtaining serum and plasma, suitable for basic biochemical research, are described. Advantages of delivery of autopsy blood in special thermo-packets that protect the material from freezing in winter and exposure to high temperatures in summer are described.
