The algorithm of spleen and sterno-vertebrocostal segment models creation, the use of which allows to simulate various variants of conditions of spleen damage occurrence, is proposed. These data can be used for simulation of blunt abdominal trauma as a part of situational forensic medical examinations production. The results of performed experimental works on this issue showed the efficacy and adequacy of created models, which makes implementation of spleen injuries modelling into routine forensic medical expert practice promising.

[The application of certain methods of the statistical analysis for the determination of prescription of an injury to the spleen].

The objective of the present study was to elucidate specific morphological features of the injuries inflicted to the spleen that may be of value for determining their prescription by means of the sequential identification procedure with the use of the relevant diagnostic coefficients. The hierarchic cluster analysis has demonstrated that all the cases of interest can be categorized into 6 groups differing in the prescription of delayed injuries to the spleen that are possible to diagnose based on the morphological picture. It is concluded that the proposed sequential identification procedure with the use of the diagnostic coefficients makes it possible to distinguish between specific morphological features characterizing each group of splenic injuries.

[Mechanism of a splenic injury development in the case of the one-step course of the traumatic process].

Taken together, the results of analysis of the major types of deformation of elastic objects (compression, stretching, shear) and of combined injuries to the spleen and its ligamentous apparatus were used to construct a table for differential diagnostics of the mechanisms governing the factors responsible for different types of the injury. Special emphasis is laid on the site of injurious action and its direction with respect to the one-step development of the traumatic process.
