DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS METHOD FOR DETERMINING CEREBRAL-TYPE TERMINAL TYPE STATE AND MECHANICAL TRAUMA INCOMPATIBLE WITH LIFE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out morphologic examination of the internal organs. Macroscopic morphometric adrenal gland examination is carried out with cortical substance and medullary substance mass of each adrenal gland and ratio of cortical substance mass to medullary substance mass in the left adrenal gland being determined. In total, ratios of cortical substance mass to medullary substance mass are determined in both adrenal glands. Probability of case that is considered to belong to death group with terminal cerebral-type state of P1 type is calculated from formula P1=exp(4.34+30.08xA -30.77xB - 8.87xC - 4.18xD - 12.98xE)/(1+exp(4.34+30.08xA -30.77xB - 8.87xC - 4.18xD - 12.98xE)x100%, P2=100%-P1, where A is the ratio of cortical substance mass to medullary substance mass in the left adrenal gland, B is the ratio of cortical substance mass to medullary substance mass in both adrenal glands, C is the asymmetry coefficient of cortical substance mass, D is the asymmetry coefficient of medullary substance mass, E is the adrenal gland mass asymmetry force. C, D and E are calculated from formulas [(D_d-D_s):(D_d+D_s)]x100%, where D_d is the right parameter value and D_s is the left parameter value. If P1>P2, terminal cerebral-type state is diagnosed.

EFFECT: high accuracy of diagnosis.
