    Stephen J. D. O'Keefe.
    Summary: This book provides the reader with an understanding of human nutritional and metabolic physiology and how it goes wrong in illness. Divided into three major sections, the volume instructs the reader on how and when to use nutritional support, and includes a summary of the published outcome studies on the application of nutritional support to the management of common illnesses. In this way, the book supplies the reader with all the known information on how to make the best judgment of when, what and how to feed sick patients. Authored by a renowned expert in the field, The Principles and Practice of Nutritional Support is a valuable resource for gastroenterologists, surgeons, critical care physicians, endocrinologists, and all those involved with patient-care, both in hospital, in rehabilitation, or at home.

    T lymphocytes were determined according to their ability to form rosettes with sheep erythrocytes, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 120 patients, and in peripheral blood from 59 patients. Normal CSF contained 74.9 +/- 9.6% T lymphocytes. Increased T lymphocyte percentage was found in CSF from patients with active multiple sclerosis (MS), and Guillain-Barré syndrome, as well as the 2 patients with retrobulbar neuritis and the 1 with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Patients with stable MS showed no significant change in CSF T lymphocyte percentage. CSF from patients with viral meningo-encephalitis or meningo-radiculitis had a decreased T lymphocyte percentage. This decrease was also found in the 2 patients with malignant disease and the 2 with presenile dementia. An exceptionally low CSF T cell count (5%) was found in 1 patient with cerebellar ataxia.
