title: [The specificity of thermometry of cadavers of newborns in prescribing the time of the coming of death].
abstract: It is distinctly demonstrated on the basis of 7908 measurements of rectal temperature of cadavers of newborns that such thermometry should be made at a depth of at least 5.5 cm in order to ensure an accurate prescription of the coming of death (PCD) in expertise of cadavers of newborns. An optimal method of calculating the sought results as applicable to different situations and made with the help of correction factors is described. The results of lifetime thermometry of 60 newborns are presented, which prove that the length of intrauterine life of a baby affects essentially its values. An accurate PCD of a newborn is a technical study result.
