A 20-year-old girl, so obese that her parents, with whom she lived, did not suppress her pregnancy, which had reached a normal term, suddenly fell ill with a headache; at night she had convulsions. The invited doctor found her in an unconscious state; seizures of convulsions were 3-4 times per hour, more tonic than clonic in nature, the tongue was bitten, the pupils were dilated. The doctor suspected poisoning with some kind of alkoloid. In the morning the patient died without being destroyed. Two women, who washed the deceased and laid her on the table, did not suppress her child's emergence; they covered her with a sheet, which there was no reason to reveal for two days, until the forensic medical examination of the corpse by Dr. Green. The last one, having removed the sheet, saw that between the legs of the deceased lay a dead newborn child, legs down, with the head at the mother's genitals, that is, with the buttocks presented; a fleshy round mass protruded from the genital organs of the deceased, which turned out to be the bottom of the uterus turned upside down and not separated from it after the house; the umbilical cord was very short. Traces of bleeding or clots were not detected. The perineum of the parturient woman was torn. Her belly was very swollen, and when she was punctured, a huge amount of gas came out of it. There were no pathological phenomena in the organs of the abdomen and chest. Strychnine was not found in the stomach and intestines sent to the chemical laboratory.

Dr. Gr. was hastily summoned to a 19-year-old 1 woman in labor, who had an attack of eclamptic convulsions. The pregnancy proceeded normally, the young woman, who had been completely healthy before, walked about a mile on foot, from her to her mother, where she felt sick, she fell to the floor and began to have convulsions. Dr. Gr. found her unconscious; the child is dead, lying between the legs of the parturient woman; by cutting the umbilical cord, the patient was taken to bed; a few minutes later came the afterbirth. The eclamptic attacks did not stop. G. chloroformed the patient, poured 1 drachma chloral-hydrate per rectum: nothing helped. Then Dr. Gibson bled the mother at 12 oz. The attacks became shorter and easier, and after 6 hours the postpartum woman regained consciousness, and the next day she was out of danger.

The study is aimed at finding general grounds of criminal responsibility for neonaticide (murder by a mother of her own newborn child). The formal crime signs listed in article 106 of CCRF have been analysed. The theoretical analysis is supplemented with a study of 40 criminal cases. It was concluded that the common ground for inclusion of the three formal elements of the crime (differing in a number of criteria) is the mother's limited capability to consciously and arbitrarily control her behavior while murdering her newborn child. In the first case, the main factor limiting this legally significant capability is a legislator-presumed specific psychophysical condition of the parturient woman, in the second case it is a specific emotional state caused by a psychologically traumatic event associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The third case is a mental disorder not excluding sanity. A remark about the baby-murdering mother's special emotional condition limiting her capability to be aware of her actions (and control them) has been suggested for inclusion in the text of the article. The advisability of obligatory prescription for a comprehensive forensic psychological and psychiatric examination has been substantiated when the offence is categorized under article 106 of CCRF.

Vestiges of the omphalomesenteric or vitello-intestinal duct and the pathologic implications attributed to these remnants have been treated in great detail by several investigators. Persistence of the omphalomesenteric duct is associated with such conditions as Meckel's diverticulum, umbilical fistula, mucosal polyps, and sinuses or cysts of the umbilicus. Remnants of the duct in the umbilical cord, although infrequent, are located outside of the triangle formed by the two umbilical arteries and the umbilical vein, are usually discontinuous and are often represented by a small lumen lined by cuboidal or columnar epithelium. This study will examine the ultrastructure of these cells.

The deleterious effect of post mortem degeneration results in a progressive loss of ultrastructural detail. This had led to reluctance (if not refusal) to examine autopsy material by means of transmission electron microscopy. Nevertheless, Johannesen has drawn attention to the fact that a sufficient amount of significant features may be preserved in order to enable the establishment of a definitive diagnosis, even on “graveyard” tissue.Routine histopathology of the autopsy organs of a woman of 78 showed the presence of a well circumscribed adenoma in the anterior lobe of the pituitary. The lesion came into close apposition to the pars intermedia. Its architecture was more compact and less vascular than that of the anterior lobe. However, there was some grouping of the cells in relation to blood vessels. The cells tended to be smaller, with a higher nucleocytoplasmic ratio. The cytoplasm showed a paucity of granules. In some of the cells, it was eosinophilic.
