Abstract
Edited by H. M.D., Boston, Massachusetts, and SOMERS STURGIS, MELVIN TAYMOR, L. M.D., Boston, Massachusetts. 9 x 6 4 in. Pp. 586-I-xii. Illustrated. 1970. New York: Grune & Stratton Inc. $22.75. IT is interesting to note that more than twenty years ago, Volume I of Progress in Gynecology was published, and Volumes 11, 111, and IV have followed at about five-year intervals in order to obtain a continuing review of new advances in this specialty. Although the great majority of the large number of contributors to this volume come from America, there are some from India, Sweden, and Austria. Many and varied problems are discussed at length in this book, such as the molecular mechanisms of hormonal action, the growth of the ovarian follicle and ovulation, the radio-immunoassay of gonadotrophins, colpomicroscopy, the menopause, the medicolegal aspects of abortion, germ-cell tumours of the ovary, and primary stress incontinence. The book is well illustrated and the electron microscopy is excellent. Gynaecology is a very progressive branch of medicine and every year new methods of diagnosis and treatment are forthcoming. This book contains all these advances and is very readable and interesting. Progress in Gynecology. Volume V. This book supplies many of the answers, for it sets out to prove that energy and work, viscoelasticity, and kinematics are important in the treatment of fractures and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The problem of lubrication of synovial joints is considered in detail. An extensive bibliography. is found at the end of this ~ . interesting book. The medical student of today will have to brush up his knowledge of the calculus if he is to understand the formulae and diagrams in this book. Volume 5. Edited by DENISWILLIAMS,St. Georgeâs Hospital, London. g x 5 : in. Pp. 304 kx. Illustrated. 1970. London: Butterworth & Co. (Publishers) Ltd. 84s. THIS the fifth volume in the âModern Trendsâ series to is deal with neurology; the fourth volurne was published in 1967 and all new developments in this field have been incorporated in the present one. The seventeen contributors to this volume are mostly British, but some come from Canada and the United States, and they are all experts in their own particular field. Some of the subjects presented in this volume are of considerable interest to the surgeon, for instance: Recent views on tremors and their treatment; Syringomyelia and the surgeon; Reactions of neurological cells to injury; and The neuropathology of temporal lobe epilepsy. The medical profession as a whole rightly considers that neurology is by far the hardest branch of medicine. Such volumes as the one under review substantiate this view. The study of higher cerebral function is a fascinating one and this book brings this into prominence. This is a stimulating volume and one which all neurologists will wish to read. The Modern Trends in Neurology. The Physiology of the Joints. Volume I, Upper Limb. Second edition. By I. A. KAPANDJI, Paris. 11 x 9 in. Pp. 203, with 346 illustrations. 1970. Edinburgh: E. & S. Livingstone Ltd. 50s. THIS second French edition has been translated by L. H. Honor&, B.Sc., M.B., Ch.B., F.R.C.P. (C.). It is the first in a series of three and is devoted to the joints of the upper limb. The great feature of this book is the large number of annotated diagrams of the mechanics of the human joints. These diagrams, some 346 in number, are original and quite easy to understand. The joints considered are the shoulder, elbow, the radio-ulnar joints, the wrist, and the hand and fingers. The commentaries are, of necessity, short, but they are clear and simple. Although the ever-increasing number of physiotherapists will find this book most useful, yet medical students and nurses will find the diagrams useful in explaining the movements of joints. The many original drawings of the joints around the wrist and fingers may prove of real value to all surgeons who are interested in the surgery of the hand. A stimulating production, and the price is verymoderate. Modern Trends in Urology. Volume 3. Edited by Sir ERIC RICHES, M.C., M.S., F.R.C.S., The Middlesex Hospital, London. 84 x 5: in. Pp. 344+xii.

Urology today is a large branch of surgery and in the last decade great studies have been made in this important specialty. In this volume all the important advances in urology have been incorporated. The problem of pyelonephritis receives due consideration, while urinary infection is disciissed in detail. The use of radio-isotopes is dealt with iin a very fascinating way and the interpretation of renograms is considered and Orthopaedic Biomechanics. By VICTOR FRANKEL, gamma camera is explained. The treatment of renal H. the M.D., Med. Dr. Dozent, Ohio, and ALBERTH. failure and the use of peritoneal dialysis and haemoBURSTEIN, Ph.D., Ohio. 94 x 6+ in.

This text provides the reader an understanding of the mechanics of the joints with the help of diagrams rather than text. The commentaries are short (on double page spreads); the quality, clarity and simplicity of the drawings and diagrams are such that they could be understood without any verbal explanation. The drawings are unusually clear: everything which could hinder...more
