The Liver

The first percutaneous needle biopsies of the human liver were performed in Italy more than 75 years ago. Almost 50 years passed before those first halting steps led to battalions of investigators advancing confidently on man's largest organ which, fortunately, possesses great regenerative powers. The result has been an accumulation of an enormous amount of research, speculation, and literature addressed to liver disorders. An improved understanding of both disease in general and liver disease in particular has resulted from much of this activity, especially from that correlating epidemiologic and clinical information with the findings of the anatomic and clinical laboratory. Of the many volumes written about liver disorders during the past 15 years, this is the first sponsored by the International Academy of Pathology. Thus, this volume reflects the strong histopathologic orientation of its sponsor; the limited discussion of the clinically useful contributions from immunology, serology, and biochemistry may disappoint

The Central Nervous System: Some Experimental Models of Neurological Diseases

This monograph is the outgrowth of a course on the pathological physiology and anatomy of the central nervous system (CSN) given at the 1967 meeting of the International Academy of Pathology. The book follows the format of the course and is divided into three sections, discussing some experimental models of neurological diseases, geographic pathology of diseases of the CNS, and methods for the study of the CNS. Each section is further divided into chapters. The course was designed to present areas of neuropathological research active and productive during the last decade. The judicious selection of the topics and the prominence of the contributors have resulted in a cohesive collection of exciting papers. In the sections dealing with experimental models and geographic pathology, the chapters are excellent reviews of specialized topics. Furthermore, the conditions discussed by the geographic pathologists may be considered as examples of naturally occurring models of disease. The

The Lung

What sort of organ is the lung? A difficult question, but as Averill Liebow, co-editor of this volume, says, it is "... much more than a wind bag or bellows. It is a complicated, subtle and important chemical system of which the activities have been only partly revealed." This monograph, the eighth put out by the International Academy of Pathology, helps to reveal a little more. Doctors Liebow and Smith have gathered together 24 authorities to give their views of what goes on in the labyrinths of the lung. The first 15 chapters concern the living lung and cover topics like pulmonary dynamics, respiratory surfaces, mechanical properties, changes in disease, cellular population, responses to environment, and comparisons to diseases in animals. Next come four chapters on geographic pathology, and pathologists from different lands participate. An Egyptian has a go at pulmonary bilharziasis, a Peruvian at the lungs of high-altitude dwellers, a

The Small Intestine: A Symposium of the 5th Congress of the International Academy of Pathology.

This small paperback presents the 14 papers and discussion of a conference held in June 1964. Each of the papers is an excellent review and the discussion is short and quite pertinent. The value of some of the material is limited because the photographic material is not presented. Separate chapters are presented on the development, the electron microscopy, the histology, and the histochemistry of the small intestine. The clinical, pathological, and physiological features of the blind loop syndrome, Whipple's disease, carcinoid tumors, Crohn's disease, postgastrectomy deficiency states, and the postgasterectomy syndrome are presented. Two papers on the role of the intestine in traumatic shock and shock-induced lesions of the small intestine were presented. A paper on intestinal immunity in poliomyelitis brought a totally new series of concepts to this reviewer. This monograph is useful to the workers in the field but will bring them little information that they have not

The Peripheral Blood Vessels.

The keynote of this monograph is (as one contributor puts it) to set the stage for a mechanistic cellular and subcellular approach to the peripheral circulation. It is based on a symposium on the pathological physiology and anatomy of the peripheral vessels sponsored in 1962 by the International Academy of Pathology. The purpose is partly to call attention to the current state of knowledge and, more significantly, to make known new directions, awaken the scientific imagination, and direct work into new and fruitful channels. Thirteen authors from various fields each discuss some aspect of normal anatomy and physiology, etiologic factors, or pathological manifestations. The subject matter relates mainly to arteries and capillaries and is about equally divided between the normal and the diseased state. Fawcett, through electron microscopy, shows that capillary endothelium varies considerably in thickness and in the number and size of pores, a matter of considerable importance in
