[Methodological problems of the diagnosis of pathomorphological processes]

The authors hold that clinical, intravital clinicomorphological and postmortem morphological diagnosis should be based on methodological approaches of dialectical materialism providing clear-cut understanding of logical analysis and synthesis of pathological processes operable in the human body. Such understanding will promote recognition of qualitatively new clinical and morphological signs differentiating the conceptions of illness from health. Noteworthy also is algorithmization of biopsy processing which, as an objective method, is strongly recommended for introduction into the research and clinical practice of the clinical pathologists.
