چکیده
THE appearance of the eighth edition, the first having appeared in 1937 and three editions having been reprinted, is a sign of the popularity of this text book designed for students and general practitioners. The general plan is the same as in previous editions. Each section is introduced by a short resume of the anatomy and physiology of the region. Minor alterations have been made to bring it up to date. New terms have been substituted for old, such as "SensoriNeural Deafness". The chapter headed "Nasal Allergy" replaces the previous one entitled "Vasomotor Rhinorrhoea". The systemic use of cortisone is not now advised in nasal allergy. Malignant tumours of the naso-pharynx are now classified as after Eggston & Wolff (1947). The classification of malignant tumours of the larynx is now that recommended by the International Union against Cancer. The classification of chronic otitis media has also been revised. The indications for a tracheostomy are now listed. Short notes have been made on several conditions not previously mentioned, such as rhino-sporidiosis; rhino-scleroma; trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy; salivary tumours; leukoplakia; abscess, collapse and carcinoma of the lung; hiatal hernia and electro-nystagmography. The eighth edition fulfils its original purpose. It provides all the basic essentials for diagnosis and treatment of those conditions which interest the general practitioner and the student. No attempt is made to describe the major operative procedures which are carried out. K.H.
