In the last decade, the incidence of acute poisoning in the developed world has risen considerably, so that hospital admissions from this cause now repre~ sent a significant part of the work load of most medical units.

This book is intended primarily for the doctor who is confronted with an electro cardiogram and who wishes to make his own interpretation rather than to rely entirely upon the report of a specialist.

My interest in plate theory extends back many years to the energetic and stimulating discussions with my supervisor, Professor R.

Dramatic cultural changes have occurred in the areas of food, nutri tion, and health in the United States. The "me generation" has turned into a robust health seeking "we generation," with emphasis on group participation in an ever-increasing array of health clubs.

The remarkable growth of food technology in industry has been matched by an equal development of related educational programs in food science in colleges and universities in many countries.

The Working Group "0ffshore Nuclear Power Plants" was established by the Commission of the European Communities in 1971.

The increasing scale and intensity of modern blast-furnace operation, combined with a simultaneous reduction in coke rate, have led to more stringent coke quality requirements with a greater emphasis on the coke's (1 2) role as a burden spacer ' . Accordingly, coke quality data limited to chemical composition, initial size grading and ambient size stability are insufficient to predict the coke's behaviour in use. A realistic assess­ ment of the likely performance of coke should also take into consideration its resistance to degradation in the chemical and thermal environment of the blast furnace. A test is, therefore, needed which simulates as far as possible the mechanical, chemical and thermal conditions of the smelting process and measures the resultant changes in size distribution of the coke, and hence in its bulk permeability to gas flow, using representative samples of the feed coke as charged to the furnace. Moreover, new developments in coke production make it necessary to reassess coke testing so as to guide the coke producer in making the best use of available coals. The mode of mechanical coke breakage at ambient temperature has been extensively characterised and related to changes in the coke's bulk permeability(3). In contrast, the causes of deterioration in the hot strength and size of bulk coke arising from its partial gasification with carbon dioxide and reheating to high temperature are relatively less explored. The present paper describes the v.

High combustion intensity boilers, commonly known as Package Boilers, of the Shell Construction design, have now much greater steam output than their predecessors and the need for high levels of maintenance and operating skills remain as essential as when this group of boilers first appeared on the market.

Energy is no longer a purely technical and commercial question; It is therefore vitally important for all of us that the right energy decisions be taken without delay and that the important contri bution which nuclear energy can make toward the solution of the world energy problem should not be overlooked or, even worse, discarded.

The aim of this Foundation is to assist research, studies and diffusion of information in order to better the quality of life of people suffering from debilitating chronic disease, the most important of which is cancer.

The last few years have seen a growth in the number of psychology courses which are being offered as single subject or combined studies options in universities, polytechnics and colleges of higher education.

Psychiatry is a discipline that crosses many frontiers, involving a know ledge of the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the nervous system, of general medicine, of sociology, of psychology, of the law and of all those subjects which comprise the behavioural sciences.

Advances in research, knowledge and clinical practice in all branches of medicine have been rapid over the past decades and the speed is accelerating. For some decades the author has been in clinical charge of a matern ity hospital some 12 miles south of Central London.

The vast experi ence he gained in anesthesia in the Liverpool Hospitals and on the Thoracic, Cardiac, Neurosurgical and Paediatric units, ensured his continued interest in resuscitation and neonatal anesthesia, which led him to design a new tracheostomy tube when he was at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

Platelet transfusion has become an integral part of the management of disseminated malignant disease and its role in preventing or controlling haemorrhage due to thrombocytopenia is now without dispute. This monograph contains articles presented at an Inter­ national Symposium on Platelet Transfusion held in London in July 1978. It is hoped that they provide an up­ to-date review of the preparation and laboratory function of platelet concentrates in addition to practical advice towards developing an intelligent approach towards their administration.

The platelets we transfuse tomorrow walk the streets today. Intelligent donor recruitment and public information carnpaigm about blood donation, and about new systems of blood donation that arc not yet familiar to the general public, need to be broadcast and developed, but are not really a subject of discussion for this meeting. HISTORICAL REVIEW I shall start with an historical perspective on the evolution of platelet transfusion.
