[Clinico-roentgeno-functional studies during expert evaluation of work capacity of patients with neurotrophic disorders after war-time neck injuries].

The paper is concerned with a clinico-roentgeno-functional++ study into sequelae of fighting injury to the osseous and soft tissue structures of the neck with the aid of testometric stereoroentgenogrammetry, a method of x-ray topical diagnosis used in fragmentation effects and gunshot injuries, as well as a method of color reading of limb roentgenograms to identify pathomorphological alterations and neurotrophic disorders of the osseous tissue. The pathofunctional alterations related to derangement of the radix structures can be verified by means of using the current methods of functional research: echoosteometry, rheovasography, etc.

[Clinico-roentgenological diagnosis of dumping syndrome in expert medical evaluation of work capacity].

The authors conducted complex clinical and X-ray examination of 80 patients suffering from the dumping syndrome of various degree. They were sent to the Central Scientific Research Institute of Expert Medical Assessment of Working Capacity for establishing the degree of severity of morphological and functional disorders affecting their capacity for work. The method of examination of such patients, including X-ray and other clinical methods, is described. The main clinical and roentgenosemeiotic signs characteristic of the mild, moderately severe, and severe forms of the dumping syndrome are pointed out. Clinical cases are described in illustration of the diagnostic possibilities and the expert approach to the results of the examination of such patients.

[Diagnostic parameters for the evaluation of work capacity: the bronchopulmonary system].

The bronchial pulmonary system can be effected by obstructive diseases with and without emphysema. The onset of these affections may be an airway allergy. In case of other mechanisms, fibrotic processes can be observed accompanied by a lung compliance decrease. Lung circulation itself is rarely affected by the development of Cor pulmonale in a state after pulmonary embolism and after the so-called primary pulmonary high pressure. These disorders can be diagnosed properly without or scarcely straining the patient by spirometry which requires the patient's cooperation, however, and by body plethysmography which does not depend on cooperation, lung compliance measurements, arterial blood gases and inhalative provocation tests. If applied by experience staff, these reliable basic methods supply qualitative and quantitative information for the assessment of working capability that scarcely can be obtained on another organ.

[Evaluation of work capacity in Menière's disease].

The authors submit their experience with assessment of work capacity in Ménière's disease. They mention in particular work incapacity, detection of simulation and aggravation and discuss also the enlistment of work of these patients. They pay special attention to patients who drive cars. There is a different approach to amateur and professional drivers. Special attention is also devoted to the problem of granting full or partial invalid pensions. Their experience is based on a group of 300 of their own patients with Ménière's disease.

[Expert evaluation of work capacity of patients with Paget- Schroetter syndrome].

In the period between 1961 and 1981, 55 patients with the Paget-Schroetter syndrome were under observation. Clinical-expert examination was conducted by rheovasography, skin temperature measurement, capillaroscopy, phlebomanometry, and phlebography. Phlebography is most important in establishing the diagnosis of the disease, determination of the extent of occlusion of the deep veins and the prognosis.

[Extension of the length of terms of temporary work incapacity, set by the Medical Expert Commission for Evaluation of Work Capacity, in the case of patients with malignant tumors].

The results of granting temporary disability payments for longer periods were followed in 549 patients with malignant tumors at various sites. It was found that 76-82% of stage I-IIa (T1-2N0M0) cancer patients resume working; working ability is limited in 14-18%. Two-thirds of them need another 2-3 months to complete treatment. To allow such patients to stay out of work is essential for prevention of disability from malignant tumors.
