[Palliative treatment of rectal and sigmoid cancer with Nd-YAG laser].

Nd-YAG laser treatment was employed as palliative treatment in 47 patients with colorectal cancer. Thirty-eight patients (81%) experienced good symptomatic effect from the treatment. Four complications occurred: three cases of perforation and one case of moderate bleeding. There was no mortality. It is concluded that laser treatment is a good palliative method in patients with colorectal cancer, especially in elderly patients with complicating diseases and in patients with local recurrence or symptoms from nonresected tumours.

[Complications and costs of indwelling catheters].

The complication rate and morbidity were registered in a group of 53 outpatients with indwelling catheters. The complication rate is found to be high, especially for patients with catheters on account og incontinence. It is also demonstrated that the transportation costs for the out-patients are high. It is recommended that ordinary changes of the catheter are carried out by specially trained "homenurses" if possible. The indications for indwelling catheter should regularly be reconsidered as needs and suitable measures are constantly changing.

[Bicycle accidents in preschool children].

During the period from June 1st 1984 to May 31st 1987, 108 bicycle accidents were registered among children aged 0-6 years in the Emergency Department, Sundby Hospital. In 95 of the accidents, the child was riding the bicycle. The majority of the accidents were solo accidents where the child fell with the bicycle. 64% had head injuries and 11% of these were hospitalized for observation for concussion. Interviews made at the local nursery schools and play groups revealed that all children over the age of four years owned bicycles. Only 2% of the children employed bicycle helmets. The use of helmets by children is recommended. These should preferably also provide tooth protection.

Leiomyomas of the small intestine: a rare cause of abdominal emergency. Case report.

Two cases of spontaneous perforation of small bowel leiomyomas are discussed, one previously asymptomatic, the other with a single episode of hematemesis two years earlier. Perforation of these tumours is rarely seen. Selective visceral angiography seems to be the most sensitive radiologic examination. New types of enteroscopes are being developed.
