A possibility to identify the vehicle driver through complex forensic and criminalistic expertise--case report.

Traffic accidents can have more or less dramatic consequences that involve penal and civil responsibility with amplitude extending over long periods of time. In many cases, substitution of the driver with the passenger in order to avoid criminal responsibility is often remarked. The substitution takes place with the passenger's agreement or, in cases with dramatic consequences (coma or death), without his/her consent. These situations are encountered in civil cases regarding insurance fraud. In addition to forensic medical expertise, to aid the experts, mathematical modeling and computer simulation of the dynamics of vehicle passengers is a tool that completes the criminal expertise of traffic accidents. This paper presents the method of identification of the person driving the vehicle based on the computer simulation of vehicle occupants' dynamics.

[Study about the associated use of different types of drugs by high school students]. / Studiu asupra consumului asociat al diferitelor tipuri de droguri de catre elevii de liceu.

UNLABELLED: Socially acceptable drugs and illegal substances consumed by high school students affect their nervous system, which is under development and anticipate an extensive drug use later. MATERIAL AND METHOD: In our study we have assessed the associate drug consumption at a group of high school teenagers by applying a questionnaire with 23 items. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Tobacco use is the lowest in ninth grade students and it is significantly better represented in higher grade students. Regardless of the grade, there are no significant differences in the proportion of boys and girls who smoke, even the health risks posed by smoking are known to over 80% of respondents. Among the reasons that could cause the student smoking cessation predominates, at the smallest students, parents' threat (significantly stronger than at those of senior grades), unlike the senior students, which give a higher value to a possible alteration of their own health status. The temptation for beer consumption appears before the age of 11 years and it is mentioned about a quarter of all respondents. Drinking a glass of wine for the first time is placed around the age of 14 years for boys and 15 years for girls. Marijuana is the drug exclusively consumed in the ninth grade and holds supremacy and other classes. Barbiturates and amphetamines are known about two thirds of the surveyed students. Risks involved by the association of alcohol consumption, tobacco and drugs are represented differently in this group of adolescents, and evolve differently as the students grow, mature and evolve, in a positive manner for their existence or not. CONCLUSIONS: during the high school years teenagers are tempted to diversify their drug consumption and to associate them, even they know very well how serious are the health consequences of this attitude.

[Cardiovascular risk of haloperidol vs. atypical anti-psychotic drugs in schizophrenia treatment]. / Riscul cardiovascular al haloperidolului versus antipsihotice atipice in terapia schizofreniei.

The present study examined the safety of the atypical antipsychotic drugs sertindol, olanzapine and quetiapine used in the treatment of schizophrenia. Haloperidol, a typical antipsychotic drug, was used for comparison. These data may account for the different therapeutic effects and side-effect profiles (cardiovascular risk) of typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs in schizophrenia.

[Anatomic and physiopathologic basis for the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal ischemia]. / Bazele anatomo-fiziopatologice ale investigatiilor si tratamentului în ischemia intestinala.

Changes of circulatory parameters in splanchnic territory lead to gut ischemia in an acute or chronic form (postprandial abdominal stroke). The implicated factors in intestinal ischemia are the timing and kind of onset, countercurrent vascularization and the eventuality of anastomotic subsystems for becoming hypertrophic. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is the "key" blood vessel implicated in the production of chronic intestinal ischemia, the atherosclerotic lesion being localized more frequent near SMA's ostium or even at ostium itself. Nonoclusif ischemia is induced by another stimulus that provokes mesenteric vasoconstriction, status that affects more the antimesenteric intestinal border, with a larger expansion at mucosa level. The most reseed diagnostic methods are selective angiographies and ultrasound examination. Usually chronic intestinal ischemia is clinically asymptomatic and becomes clinical evident just in the presence of an acute superposed factor or when at least two digestive arteries are affected. Revascularization methods are different, based on the type, mechanism and site of obstruction, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The most used method is retrograde aortomesenteric by-pass, at infrarenal aortic level (that is more accessible than the supraceliac aorta) and SMA reimplantation.
