Liver Injury

This book is the latest edition of the series which report verbatim the papers presented at the annual meetings of small groups of competent investigators in a variety of medical fields. Informality and theorizing aloud are the keynotes, and account for much of the book's value and great readability. The names of the participants are well known in the field of medicine -F. W. Hoffbauer, Cecil J. Watson, C. H. Best, Paul Gy6rgy, N. H. Knisely, Sheila Sherlock, R. H. Turner, and Ephraim Shorr, to name but a few. The topics presented cover a wide range and include R. H. Turner's discussion of serum proteins and lipids studied by the ultracentrifuge, Sheila Sherlock's "Effect of Insulin on the Liver in the Normal and in the Diabetic," and K. R. Hill's "Liver Disease in Jamaican Children." Such a compilation is mandatory reading for those working along these particular segments of the research perimeter and is strongly recommended for those doing related work.
