Insights
Forensic pediatrics requires better diagnostic criteria for pediatric mechanical injuries and diseases. Developing a unified algorithm will improve injury dating and disease pathogenesis analysis in children.
Area of Science:
- Forensic medicine
- Pediatrics
- Pathology
Abstract:
Studies of Russian and foreign literature have shown that the features of mechanical injuries and the course of diseases in different pediatric age categories remain insufficiently investigated in forensic pediatrics, taking into account their physiological characteristics and concomitant pathology. Based on this, it is proposed to develop the diagnostic criteria for both mechanical injuries and diseases of children as priority and promising areas in scientific research, taking into account the age-related physiological characteristics, as well as the effects of external factors on the course of the pathomorphological process; to create a single algorithm for a comprehensive pathomorphological analysis of pediatric pathology, which allows forensic experts to fully answer questions concerning the prescription of injuries, the pathogenesis of diseases, and determining the severity of the harm to the child's health.
