[Drowning--characteristic signs and calculation of their diagnostic value].

In a group of 387 drowned subject and 50 controls typical signs of drowning were investigated. Paltaufs spots, aqueous emphysema of the lungs, liquid in the stomach, significant drop of chlorides, creatinine and urea in the left heart and presence of liquid in the paranasal sinuses. The author investigated the frequency of these signs and by comparison of data of these signs in the two groups the diagnostic importance of different diagnostic signs was calculated.

[The presence of fluid in the paranasal sinuses in comparison with other diagnostic signs of drowning].

In a group of 387 drowned subjects and 50 control subjects the author investigated the presence and amount of fluid in the paranasal sinuses: in the cavity of the sphenoid bone and in the right and left maxillary sinus in conjunction with other signs supporting the diagnosis of drowning (presence of Paltauf spots, pulmonary aqueous emphysema, fluid in the stomach, drop of chlorides, creatinine and urea in the left heart). Fluid in the paranasal sinuses was found in 289 (74.4%) of the drowned subjects and in one control subject (2%).

[Head injuries after an attack by an unarmed assailant].

From an analysis of injuries ensues clearly that even an attack by an unarmed aggressor aimed at the head of the victim is very dangerous and can cause a wide range of injuries from trivial to very serious ones leading to prolonged work incapacity. It is not possible to conclude from the injuries by how many blows it was caused because even after a single injury severe and complicated injuries may develop. From the injury it is not possible to assess unequivocally whether the injury was proceeded by a fist, open hand or foot or a combination of the two. In two subjects of the group permanent sequelae developed (one injury of the eye, 1 disfiguring scar of the eyelid).

[Head injuries caused by beer glasses and bottles].

The authors investigated head injuries in 23 subjects caused by beer glasses and bottles, differentiating thin-walled and thick-walled glasses, full and empty bottles and whether the injury was caused by hitting with the bottle or throwing it. A large range of injuries was found--from trivial ones to serious health damage. From the character of the injury the injuring object cannot be assessed.

[Accidental gunshot injury of the common carotid artery in a 19-year-old man].

The author describes a case of a gunshot injury of the right common carotid artery in a 19-year-old man. The injury was caused by a single-shot pistol of German make, calibre 6 mm, Flaubert. The patient was operated at the First Surgical Clinic in Hradec Králové, a reconstruction of the injured artery was made, using a venous patch. The patient recovered per primam. The injury left to sequelae.

[Laboratory diagnosis of drowning].

The values of chlorides, creatinine and urea were followed in the left and right heart of 266 drowned and 34 undrowned persons. The results were computer-analyzed. There was a high correlation of the compounds in the left and right heart of the drowned persons. In the group of undrowned subjects the limit of reliability was very low. There was a high statistical significance between the values of chlorides and creatinine and between chlorides and urea in the group of drowned persons, while in the control group there was no statistical significance between the individual compounds.
