This article analyzes domestic and foreign sources, regulatory documents of the Russian Federation, in order to determine the etiological factors of oral cancer, assess the statistical data on morbidity and mortality from malignant neoplasms of the maxillofacial region in the Penza region. The results of changing the routing, an interdisciplinary approach to treating patients with malignant neoplasms of the maxillofacial region in the Penza region are presented. The epidemiology, clinical manifestations, main diagnostic methods, routing, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with head and neck oncology are considered. The results of treatment of patients with oral cavity and lower lip cancer using photodynamic therapy (PDT), both alone and in combination with radiation and chemotherapy, are analyzed. The study showed that PDT of tumors of the lower lip and buccal mucosa in mono-mode made allowed achieving 100% efficiency. After the completed treatment, all participants in the experiment were provided with a complex of rehabilitation, including nutritional support, psychological assistance, exercise therapy, training in correct swallowing tactics, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, and a course of oral cavity massage. An interdisciplinary approach to treating malignant neoplasms of the maxillofacial region is the most correct in modern practice.

The paper studies 60 Class II, Division 2 malocclusions, from lateral skull radiographs taken before treatment and at least 1 year after the end of retention. In the first part of the paper the nature of the malocclusion is analysed. It usually exhibits a Class II skeletal pattern, and while this is on average milder than for Class II, Division I, there is a marked variation between individuals. Other factors are a high inter-incisal angle, a high lip-line, and in some cases a small lower facial height. The upper and lower facial heights, on the other hand, are not appreciably greater than normal. The results of treatment are then analysed. Successful overbite reduction would seem to be associated with a reduction in inter-incisal angle and a relative lowering of the lower lip-line. Growth appears to be important in achieving overbite reduction. It is suggested that favourable rotation of the mandible may be a factor in overbite reduction in some cases, and this would repay further study. Finally attention is turned to the effect of incisor proclination. This was usually more successful in the lower jaw, but again there was wide individual variation.

Abstract Accurate measurement of shoulder motion is critical in assessing impairment following shoulder disorders. To this end, measuring and recording joint motion are important steps in diagnosing, determining the severity and progression of a disorder, assessing the results of treatment, and evaluating impairment. Shoulder movement usually is composite rather than in a single plane, so isolating single movements is challenging. Universal goniometers with long arms are used to measure shoulder motion, and testing must be performed and recorded consistently. Passive motion may be carried out cautiously by the examiner; two measurements of the same patient by the same examiner should lie within 10° of each other. Shoulder extension and flexion are illustrated. Maximal flexion of the shoulder also includes slight external rotation and abduction, and controlling or eliminating these components during evaluation is challenging. Abduction and adduction are illustrated. Deficits in external rotation may occur in patients who have undergone reconstructive procedures with an anterior approach; deficits in internal rotation may result from issues with shoulder instability. The authors recommend recording the shoulder's range of motion measurements according to the Upper Extremity Impairment Evaluation Record in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fourth Edition.
