To conduct a comparative analysis of effectiveness of treatment of patients with dysfunction of temporomandibular joint (DTMJ) using hardware methods of treatment with occlusive mouthguards of various types. \u0000Materials and methods. 99 patients (88 females and 11 males aged 41,2 ± 10,7) with different combinations of revealed and confirmed signs of DTMJ were examined from 2013 to 2023. According to the personal clinical picture, complaints revealed, aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease all the patients of the comparison group and 2 main groups (99 patients) were administered individual complex treatment for DTMJ. The treatment was aimed at the elimination of pain, relief of masticatory muscles spasm, improvement of the extent of opening of mouth, correction of the lower jaw position, occlusive interference elimination and restoration of height of the lower third of the face. \u0000While carrying out the hardware treatment, occlusive mouthguards of 3 types were made based on the jaw model of the patients. The models were got from the silicone imprints of the jaw. \u0000Results. MR images of temporomandibular joints of the 99 patients showed that ventral dislocation of articular disk occurred most frequently (in 88 patients). Less frequently (4 % of cases) it was combined with dislocation of the disk laterally. Rarely distal dislocation of the articular disk occurred – 1,9 % of cases (2 patients). Study of the results of the appliance of different types of occlusive mouthguards demonstrates the necessity to work out the types of occlusive devices allowing decompression of temporomandibular joint elements, centering lower jaw position and orthodontic elimination of dentofacial abnormalities and deformities which lead to occlusive interference. \u0000Conclusions. Analysis of occlusive devices used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with DTMJ shows that the most effective devices are those that successfully combine elements of splints with a narrower purpose.","PeriodicalId":490955,"journal":{"name":"Perm Medical Journal","volume":"2 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140508340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority of DTC (up to 85 %) is represented by various subtypes of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Aggressive forms of PTC characterized by early lymphogenous and hematogenous metastasis, low avidity to radioiodine therapy (RIT), low relapse-free survival rates and high mortality rate compared to other types of PTC occur among them. Preoperative diagnosis of PTC is based on the results of ultrasound (US) examination and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) with cytological examination of the aspirate. At the same time, the capabilities of cytological examination in determining the histological type of PTC are limited and it does not allow to predict its aggressiveness and plan adequate treatment. Molecular genetic tests of the tumor cytological and morphological material are effective in prognosis of aggressiveness of PTC due to the determination of specific mutations in the BRAF, TERT, RAS genes and the quantitative expression of oncogenic and tumor suppressive microRNAs. Some of these indicators are already used in the morphological classification of tumors of the endocrine system. \u0000At the same time, there are contradictory data concerning the connection of the molecular genetic portrait of PTC, the clinical manifestations of its aggressiveness (extrathyroidal invasion, early metastasis, and radioiodine resistance) and its pathomorphological structure.

To analyze the work of childrens polyclinic within the framework of the projects Economical Production. An active prevalence and introduction of economical production concerns different spheres of human productive activities including office processes, service, management, social sphere and healthcare service.
 Materials and methods. The project Organization of entering stream of patients, visiting a district pediatrician at reception days for conditionally ill children was realized as the first one aimed at improvement of work of childrens polyclinic.
 Results. In April 2017, economical technologies in the sphere of community health protection were introduced in Perm Krai to improve the most problematic processes in the activity of polyclinics. Economic technologies help to raise the availability, quality and safety of medical care at the expense of creating optimal logistics of patients streams, organization of ergonomics of working space, effective use of medical technique and equipment. An important element of success regarding the economical production is involvement of workers in improvement of processes as well as devotion of the head of organization to design work. It was shown at the example of childrens polyclinic how the improvement projects were realized; the standards of the improved processes of other medical institutions were introduced.
 Conclusions. One of improvement projects, its stages and the list of countermeasures for elimination of the causes of the revealed problems is described in details; the results of the other realized projects are presented.
