چکیده

enterology. The current issue of the tripartite volumes is the largest with 200 illustrations and contributions by twenty consultants under the editorship of Dr. Ernest Oppenheimer. Further, whereas the fine structure of the liver (1957) was demonstrated by light microscopy and mitochondria by Janus Green staining, the jejunal villi are depicted by three-dimensional schema from electron microscopic studies with the mitochondria appearing as structures between the catacombs of endoplasmic reticulum. The short section on embryological development of the digestive system presents a lucid exposition of a complex process. The text supplements the illustrations to clarify the origins of greater and lesser omenta, the rotation of the intestine and formation of the diaphragm. The main appeal of the book lies in the sections on anatomy, diseases and injuries. These topics bring out Dr. Netter's artistry in the use of color for emphasis and clarity. Gross and microscopic findings are presented together with detailed insets supplemented by X-rays and other graphic material. In a single plate he is able to depict the essential features of a topic such as the ileocecal sphincter, the pathology of ulcerative colitis, or the repair of a femoral hernia. In the section on function and diagnosis, the colored illustrations often are overextended. Whereas a picture facilitates understanding the mechanism of a volvulus or intussusception, it seems unnecessary to depict vomiting or a guaiac test in a painting. Another excess seems to be the use of illustrations for intestinal absorption; the diagrams add little to the well-written text. On the strength of its sections on normal and pathologic anatomy, the book can be recommended to students and teachers of medicine. For the practicing physician it can serve as a refreshing review of current and classic material on the digestive system.
