    Summary: Often, information in review books can raise as many questions as it answers. This interferes with the study process, because the learner must either look up additional information or skip ahead without truly comprehending what he or she has read. As an alternative, Pediatric Cardiology and Pulmonology: A Practically Painless Review presents bite-sized chunks of information that can be read and processed rapidly, helping learners to stay active while studying to understand and process new information the first time they read it. This book's question and answer format allows for self-testing or study with a partner or a group. The format also facilitates dipping into the book during a few minutes of downtime at the hospital or office. Pediatric Cardiology and Pulmonology: A Practically Painless Review is a quick and easy way to master these tricky topics and is suitable for those studying for the pediatric board exam, practicing physicians brushing up on their skills, medical students and pediatric residents doing rotations, and any busy clinician who wants to learn more about these topics while on the go.

    Hepatic regeneration in partially hepatectomized, eviscerated rats, and survival in mice infected with lethal doses of murine hepatitis virus, are both strikingly promoted by combined administration of insulin and glucagon. These two hormones, although potent promotors, fail as initiators of hepatocyte proliferation in animals with intact liver, which suggests a requirement for additional factors, probably derived from non-portal-splanchnic organs. We now find that continous intraperitoneal infusion of epidermal growth factor (EGF) initiates DNA synthesis, as determined by incorporation of [3H] thymidine, in livers of adult rats in vivo. The rise in DNA labelling, which is small with EGF alone, is augmented by addition to the infusion of either glucagon or insulin. This is in agreement with reports on adult hepatocytes in culture. Whether EGF has a physiological role in regulating liver growth under normal conditions in vivo remains to be determined.
