Fyrstu þrjú verkin eru nú komin út: Heimspeki iæknisfræðinnar — kynning eftir Henrik R. Wulff, Stig Andur Petersen og Raben Rosenberg, Siðfræði og siðamál lækna eftir Öm Bjarnason og Rökvís sjúkdómsgreining og meðferð eftir Henrik R. Wulff. Efni þessara bóka tengist óneitanlega þeirri umræðu sem á sér stað í þjóðfélaginu um breytingar á heilbrigðisþjónustunni. Sömuleiðis tengist það umræðunni um hinar öru framfarir í erfðavísindum, sbr. rannsóknir á fósturvísum, líffæraflutningum og glasafrjóvgunum. Bókaútgáfan Iðunn sér um dreifingu bókanna.

Abstract: A prospective ciinical-radiographic study uas undertaken tc assess the utility of the various viev;s taken at a radiographical examination of small children, clinically suspected of infection of the paranasal sinuses.The purpose uas to find out if any cf the three conventional radiographic views; the Waters', the Caldwell and the straight Laterai could be omitted víithout compromising the diagnostic information. Primarily,70 children under six years of age, vúth clinical signs of sinusitis were exami- ned. To evaluate the response to therapy, 34 chiidren v/ere referred for follovf-up examina- tion. The radiographical findings vrere ana- iysed in correlation v;ith their clinical status after treatment. Fifty-r.ine children (86%) had radiographic evidence of disease in the paranasal sinuses. The maxillary sinuses v;ere always involved in the sinus pathology.The Waters'view was found to be the most valuable to identify the pre- sence of sinus disease. The radiographic findings in follow-up exami- nation corresponded to the clinical status in 91%. Conclusions: 1) In this age group Roentgen examination of the paranasal sinuses is a reliabie and valuable adjuvant to the clinical diagnosis. 2) In the majority of these cases only one radiographic projection,the Waters' viev;,was sufficient to give the diagnosis.
