    Summary: Robotic Surgery of the Head and Neck is the first comprehensive guide for otolaryngologists who wish to perform robotic head and neck surgery. Edited by leaders in the field, this book focuses on how improved access, visualization, and flexibility of the technology have greatly expanded the capabilities of the head and neck surgeon to treat diseases transorally or through small incisions in the skin. Starting with an overview of minimally invasive surgery in the head and neck, and moving to discussions of anatomic considerations for these procedures and the future applications of robotic surgery for otolaryngologists, Robotic Surgery of the Head and Neck explores the exciting progress of robotic technologies, bringing physicians closer to achieving the benefits of traditional surgery with the least amount of disruption to the patient.

    The system of nomenclature for influenza A viruses recommended by WHO in 1971 provided a basis for the designation of these viruses into types based on their nucleoprotein antigens. Influenza A viruses were further divided into subtypes based on the antigenic character of their haemagglutinin and neuraminidase components. To review the relevance to influenza virus nomenclature of new information on the antigenic and molecular characterization of influenza A viruses a meeting was held in Atlanta, GA, USA, in November 1978 under the auspices of WHO. Although the 1971 system of nomenclature has worked well, new information on relationships between haemagglutinin and neuraminidase subtypes indicates that the number of subtypes could be reduced. However, for the present, the participants in the meeting recommend that the 1971 system should still be used, without modification, at least until a further meeting is held in 1980. In the meantime, WHO wishes to encourage studies that will further define these relationships and solicits comments relevant to the proposals outlined in this Memorandum.
