[History of the Norwegian Military Medical Association].

The Norwegian Military Medical Association was founded in 1882 by a small group of army doctors. The principal aim of the Association was to establish a structured military medical corps with command functions. Furthermore, the newly founded group of active military doctors was intended to develop the medical knowledge and skills unique to this branch of medicine. In 1888 a military medical organization and command structure was finally accepted. The Association was very active for the first 25 years, printing articles and giving lectures on military medical subjects. After World War II the military medical service was organized in "HQ Defence Command Norway, Joint Medical Service". For many years to come this new organization took over some of the functions of the Military Medical Association. In 1952 the Association was accepted as a special branch of the Norwegian Medical Association. The Norwegian Military Medical Association is now active again, both as an organization and professionally. The number of members is increasing, and includes military doctors in active service as well as civilian doctors with an interest in military medicine.

[Odontological-surgical pathology in an Oslo population].

The present report deals with an investigation concerning the distribution of dental pathology in an Oslo population. The diagnoses are based on roentgenological findings in orthopantomograms from 216 individuals participating in the screening. The investigation contributes to knowledge about pathological conditions of the dentition and jawbones of a Norwegian population. Such knowledge is important for the assessment of the need of surgical intervention when programs for optimal oral health are planned.

[Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome].

The Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome consists of recurrent facial edema, mainly localized to the lips, recurrent facial paralysis and plicated tongue. The edema eventually becomes permanent, and in combination with residues of facial paralysis, may bring about considerable disfigurement, thus necessitating medical or surgical intervention. The different elements of the triad often do not occur simultaneously, and two positive findings are often considered sufficient for the diagnosis. A case report of a 52 year old woman with lip edema and partial facial paralysis is presented. Antihistamines and corticosteroids systemically were found to have no influence on the edema, and ultimately plastic correction was resorted to, without any striking improvement of her condition.
