VIII + 58 pp., 18 fig. S. Karger, Basel/Mtinchen/Paris/New York, 1970. DM 20,-; us $ 4.80. The author performed investigations in guinea-pigs and women. The purpose of his investigations is rather difficult to grasp. The influence of PMS, HCG, clomiphen, ethinylestradiol and combinations of estrogens and gestagens on ovulation was studied. Prior to ovulation ascorbic acid is taken up by the follicles. In women urinary excretion of ascorbic acid is a preovulatory sign. The investigations are not very well designed. A large part is repetitive and confusing. The phrasing is obscure and statistical evaluation is nearly completely lacking. L. A. M.

Prenatal infections. Edited by 0. THALHAMMER. IV + 84 pp., 22 fig., 32 tables. Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1971. DM 18,---. An international symposium on prenatal infections was held in Vienna in September 1970. We can read and learn a lot on this subject from a small book (84 pages), edited by OTTO THALHAMMER, who also contributed to the book. It contains articles on congenital listeriosis infection - diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis in the early newborn period congenital mycoplasma pneumoniae infections - congenital rubella - congenital cytomegalovirus infections herpes simples virus infection of the fetus and newborn - fetal antibody in the diagnosis of chronic intrauterine infections and some related subjects.
