    Summary: This book provides clear guidance on the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of positional plagiocephaly. Information is first presented on classification, epidemiology, and etiopathogenesis. Diagnosis is then explained in detail, covering the significance of anamnestic data, physical examination, differential diagnosis, instrumental examinations, and anthropometric measurements. Preventive measures such as 'tummy time' and physiotherapy are described, and the role of orthoses, osteopathy, and surgery in treatment is closely examined. The closing chapter addresses prognosis and complications. Positional plagiocephaly is not only a "cosmetic" problem but can cause facial and mandibular asymmetry, visual disturbances, and cognitive and psychomotor impairment, yet when correctly treated it usually resolves by 6-7 years of age. This book will be an ideal aid for pediatricians, neurosurgeons,maxillo-facial surgeons, orthopedic physicians, physiotherapists, and for all involved in preventing and managing the condition.

    Three-centimetre linear incisions were made in 90 young male Lew/f Mai rats by scalpel through skin to the investing fascia of the left flank. The skin was undermined sharply for a distance of 0.5 cm along both sides of the entire length of the incision. The wound site was closed per primam with Michel clips and left uncovered. Following emergence from anesthesia, rats were randomly allocated to one of three groups of 30 rats each: one group breathed air only and acted as control; the second was exposed to 20% N2O for 24 hours daily until sacrificed (continuous group); the third was exposed to 20% N2O for 8 hours daily until sacrificed (intermittent group). Ten rats from each of the three groups were sacrificed after 3, 7, or 10 days postincision. After sacrifice, sections from the wound stained with hematoxylin and eosin or reticulin were examined microscopically. No histological evidence of an effect on wound healing of skin occurred in rats exposed to 20% N2O.
