BOOK REVIEVWSIntra-abdominal Crises

K. D. KEELE, M.D., F.R.C.P., Consultant Physician,Ashford Hospital, Middlesex, and N. M. MATHESON,F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S., M.R.C.P., Consultant Surgeon,Ashford Hospital, Middlesex. Pp. xii + 397,illustrated. London: Butterworth. I96I. 50S.

Acute abdominal symptoms are responsible for a largeproportion of medical emergencies and we, therefore,need constantly to refresh our knowledge of how best todiagnose and treat the underlying conditions. This bookis a worthy addition to the clinician's library because itreflects the experience of two colleagues in a hospitaldraining a large population and admitting manyemergencies. The ' acute abdomen ' is so oftenregarded as a purely surgical aspect of medicine that it isagreeable to find a physician as one of the joint authorsof this particular book. Indeed, the authors themselvesremark: ' For generations intra-abdominal crises havebeen considered the concern of the surgeon, the physicianusually intervening when the surgeon does not wish tooperate or when the possibility of extra-abdominaldisease arises. We feel that in many cases this practiceis not desirable. The more the techniques of radiologyand biochemistry advance, the more often they play a-part under conditions of crisis '.

This book is 'divided into three main parts. Part one,which deals with general features of intra-abdominalcrises, deals chiefly with symptoms and signs in a fairlygeneral way, but it also includes an excellent chapter onthe diagnostic exclusion of disease simulating intra-

abdominal crises. The second, and main,, part of thebook consists of I6 chapters dealing with the localabdominal diseases which are responsible for the greatmajority of intra-abdominal crises. The informationgiven is practical, accurate and up to date; the sectionsdealing with the special investigations which may behelpful in clinching a diagnosis are especially to becommended. The third part of the book deals withintra-abdominal crises as components of general diseases,and discusses in five chapters such illnesses as endocrinedisturbances, hepatic disease, entero-colitis, and certaintropical diseases, which may simulate acute localabdominal disease. There is a short appendix whichsummarizes the laboratory tests most commonly valuablein the diagnosis of acute abdominal disease. There is agood index, an essential if a book such as this one is tobe exploited to the full.No work of human hands is perfect and some inac-

curacies were noted. For example, massive bleeding issaid to be uncommon in carcinoma of the stomach whereasthis has not been your reviewer's experience. Similarly,no attention is drawn to the fact that an appreciableproportion of perforated gastric ulcers are malignantulcers, though not recognizable as such at laparotomy, sothat simple suture should always be followed by carefuland repeated radiological follow-up studies. On anotherfront, your reviewer was sceptical of the prominent partassigned to intramuscular cortisone acetate in the r6gimefor guarding against adrenal insufficiency, because theabsorption of this particular compound from muscle is
