[Dental health and the use of dental services among Norwegian recruits in 1988].

The aim of the present study was to describe dental health and dental health behaviour among Norwegian recruits. Data were collected by questionnaires and clinical and radiological examinations among 1067 recruits in 1988. 23.7% of all recruits had no decayed teeth. The average DMFT score was 12.1 (SD = 4.69) and the number of decayed surfaces was 4.1 (SD = 5.97), 46.1% of all recruits had visited the dentist during the last year. The clinical findings (except x-ray scores) were compared with findings from similar studies in 1968 and 1978. The results showed that the dental health improved from 1968 to 1988, while the treatment need was similar in 1978 and 1988. There was little change in the regular dental attendance pattern from 1968 to 1988.

Massive hemoperitoneum secondary to spontaneous rupture of hepatic metastases: report of two cases and review of the literature.

Two cases of massive hemoperitoneum secondary to spontaneous rupture of hepatic metastases are presented. This devastating complication of hepatic malignant disease is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. However, the diagnosis should be considered in patients with known malignant disease who present with unexplained blood loss, shock, or signs consistent with an acute surgical abdomen. The presence of fever and leukocytosis with these signs and symptoms may also be part of the clinical picture. Treatment by hepatic resection is never curative. Review of the literature indicates that local control of the bleeding site by suture ligature, packing with topical hemostatic agents, or hepatic artery ligation offers the best chances of obtaining hemorrhage control and some degree of palliation in these desperately ill patients.
