This volume contains a collection of papers and discussions of burns in the region of the face and neck and of various inflammatory conditions of face and jaws. Included are papers on osteomyelitis, actinomycosis, tuberculosis, parotitis, gingival infections, periodontal disease, maxillary sinus infections, the treatment of oroantral fist.ulas, and aspergillus infection. Tumors of the jaws are also discussed by well-qualified men. All of these papers were read at the thirteenth annual meeting of the Society for Maxillo-Facial Surgery in Miinster and are followed by summaries in English, French, and Spanish. This volume is highly recommended to the experienced oral surgeon. E. H. T. The Armed

In this volume a complete history of the cornerstone institution in pathology is presented as an excellent source document for all medical personnel. It is unique among medical publications, in that it traces from its humble beginnings an organization which today is known internationally as the study and research center of the pathology world. This book should be of interest to anyone connected with modern medicine, especially to those whose work carries them into the realm of pathology. E. H. T. Zahnverlust

1964, Carl Hanser

This is a morphologic study of the nerve cells of the semilunar ganglion in rabbits resulting from the extraction of maxillary teeth. The author demonstrated that changes occur during the first 48 hours in response to a morphologic type of irritation. Then follow general changes involving the entire part of the ganglion related to the maxillary brand of the nerve. These changes disappear until, on the seventieth to the seventy-second day and later, there is no more evidence of cell alteration; the sections of the operated side cannot be differentiated from the control, the ganglion of the side where no teeth were extracted. The author concludes that extraction of teeth-even a complicated extraction-produces no permanent damage to the semilunar ganglion. E. H. T.
