Intraosseous pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in coxarthrosis.

We have investigated the intraosseous partial pressures in 15 patients suffering from primary arthrosis of the hip. The measurements were performed by a mass spectrometer via a specially designed inlet system. The average pO2 and pCO2 values in the femoral head were 8.2 and 6.8 kPa (62 and 52 mmHg), respectively, and in the greater trochanter 6.6 and 5.1 kPa (51 and 39 mmHg). The average intraosseous pressures in the femoral head and greater trochanter were 5.5 and 3.0 kPa (42 and 23 mmHg). The differences between the intraosseous pressures, pO2 and pCO2 in the greater trochanter and the femoral head were all significant.

Epidemiological aspects of peptic ulcer disease on the Faroe Islands. An interim report.

A prospective epidemiological study was carried out from 1981 to 1983 to determine the incidence of peptic ulcer on the Faroe Islands. The annual incidence of first-time-diagnosed peptic ulcer was on the average 3.3 per 1000 inhabitants aged 15 years and older. No significant changes in incidence were observed during the 3-year period. The male to female ratio of peptic ulcer was 2.1:1. The annual incidences of duodenal and gastric ulcer were 2.3 per 1000 and 1.0 per 1000, respectively. The duodenal to gastric ulcer ratio was approximately 2:1 in both male and female patients. The incidence of peptic ulcer observed in the Faroe Islands is very high compared with other countries. The incidence of duodenal ulcer is of the same high magnitude as observed in Scotland, whereas the incidence of gastric ulcer is twice as high as generally found in Western countries and in accordance with the rates found in Arctic areas.

Necrotizing fasciitis in congenital lymphedema. Case report.

Severe necrotizing fasciitis of the left leg and the trunk is described in a patient with congenital lymphedema. About 20% of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia was involved, with rapidly spreading necrosis and secondary toxemia. Lymphedema has not previously been reported as a factor predisposing to necrotizing fasciitis. Treatment is discussed.
