    Summary: While there are books that review lacrimal system disorders and surgery as a section of comprehensive oculoplastic textbooks, The Lacrimal System: Diagnosis, Management and Surgery solely addresses Lacrimology in one concise, practical volume. Building off of the success of the first edition, this text includes significantly updated information, new authors from around the world as well as new chapters that are complete with high quality images and illustrations. Lacrimal surgeries are commonly performed by oculoplastic surgeons and range from alleviating lacrimal system obstructions in children with congenital dysmorphology to minimally invasive lacrimal system reconstruction. The second edition of this book meets the needs of practicing physicians, fellows, and residents who are managing the tearing patient clinically and surgically.

    Serum from patients with genitourinary cancer was tested for ability to support transformation of autologous or normal lymphocytes stimulated with ATG. Selected for specificity for T-lymphocytes, ATG at times gave a more sensitive indication of a serum defect than did PHA. Although poor transformability in the presence of patient serum suggests an inhibitor, this test cannot rule out the possibility of a limitation of an essential nutrient usually supplied by serum. Presence of inhibitor(s) was more strongly indicated by contrasting transformation of normal lymphocytes with patient serum against a panel of normal sera. The presence of circulating inhibitor(s) was confirmed by demonstrating depression of transformation of normal lymphocytes in complete medium by chromatographic fractions from patient serum that did not support transformation. In several instances, patient serum was more inhibitory of autologous than normal lymphocytes, which suggested an additional way of examining host immune competence.
