LECTURES ON THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS OFMEDICINE

Volume Five, x955-56Arranged by the British Postgraduate Medical

Federation, University of London. Pp. xii +473, illustrated. London: The Athlone Press.1957. 45s.

The series of winter lectures organized by theBritish Postgraduate Medical Federation has be-come a principal event in London's academiccalendar. Subjects dealt with range widely over theexpanding field of Medicine, utilizing a variety ofscientific disciplines and techniques, and touchingagain and again upon the points of union withparent biological and natural sciences.

It is impossible to list the subject matter of thisvolume completely. It includes study of the in-fluence upon living organisms of such physicalagencies as cold, low oxygen tension and radiation,the nature and metabolism of protein and con-nective tissue, the behaviour of the human oeso-phagus and stomach, treatment of hepatic coma andrenal control of acid-base balance. The absenceof a section on mental disease is a little surprisingthough this subject will surely figure in latervolumes.

Each paper is complete in itself with illustrationsand appended bibliography, though there is nooverall subject matter index. To the many unableto attend the lectures the book represents anenormously valuable source of up-to-date in-formation and is a notable contribution to scientificliterature.

EXTERNAL COLLIMATION DETECTION OFINTRACRANIAL NEOPLASIA WITH

UNSTABLE NUCLIDESBy G. M. SHY, M.D., M.R.C.P., R. B. BRADLEY,

B.S., and W. B. MATTHEWS, Jn., B.S. Pp. vii +I44, with 98 illustrations. Edinburgh: E. & S.Livingstone Ltd. 1958. 30S.This book describes a method of localizing intra-

cranial lesions by the use of radioactive isotopes.With the use of a Scanner a pattern is produced

which in the normal patient shows the outline ofthe calvarium including the middle and posteriorfossa surrounded by certain muscles, and in theposterior-anterior view, separated in the midline bythe superior sagittal sinus. The demonstration ofabnormalities is dependent partly on an awarenessof the normal pattern and partly on the knowledgethat one side of the head may be used as a controlof the other. This technique will indicate thelocation and relative size of the abnormality andwhether more than one abnormality exists. It willnot differentiate between different types of lesionand does not demonstrate lesions around the sellaunless they are very large.

This book, by its very technicality, will only beof interest to those working in this specialised field.However it seems likely that with the increase ofknowledge, greater use will be made of investigationsof the type described.

TEXTBOOK OF VIROLOGYBy A. J. RHODES, M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.S., and

C. E. VAN RooyEN, M.D., D.Sc., M.R.C.P.,F.R.C.P.(C.). Third Edition. Pp. xi + 607.Illustrated. London: Bailliere, Tindall and Cox.1958. 8os.

This is the third edition of a textbook andappears only three years after the previous one. Therapid advances which have taken place in that time,particularly in our knowledge of respiratory viruses,has made this necessary. The authors have supple-mented their own knowledge by calling on anumberof experts from Europe and America, but in doingso they have not allowed the book to lose its patternand to degenerate into a collection of unrelatedarticles in different styles. It remains very readableand has come to be regarded as the standard text-book by many clinicians and laboratory workers, andtakes its place beside Topley and Wilson forimmediate references.The book continues to be very well produced but

the illustrations, particularly the photographs, arestill not worthy of the rest of the publication.

In Gram-negative bacillaryinfections due to organisms of limited sensitivityto either penicillin or to sulphonamides theactivity of the combination is likely to be appreci-ably greater than that of either penicillin or asulphonamide alone, notably in respiratory tractinfections associated with the presence of Haemo-philus influenzae.The average adult dose is two tablets initially,
