    Summary: "Obstetric and gynecologic surgery is a craft that requires sound knowledge and skills. The knowledge and skills will need to be applied to the specifics of each surgical patient to enable the best surgical management and minimize complications. This resource book offers insightful management options to many of the challenges a gynecologic or obstetric surgeon may face before, during or after an operation. Designed to guide the surgeon to safe practice throughout all stages of surgical management, it offers case studies, management options with tips and tricks, and ideas for prevention of complications. Key points and summaries are provided at the end of each chapter for 'elevator reading', i.e., quick brushing up of facts on the way to facing a challenge. Divided into two sections the book first covers general pre, intra and post-operative challenges and, second, specific operative procedures within the specialist areas in obstetrics and gynecology"--Provided by publisher.

    Immunoglobulin (Ig) is associated with erythrocyte membranes during infection of A/J mice with Plasmodium berghei. It was detected by agglutination of the cells with rabbit antibodies to mouse IgG and by a radioimmunoassay with 125I-labelled rabbit antibodies to mouse IgG. As shown by the degree of agglutination and of binding of radiolabeled antibodies to the erythrocyte membranes, the amount of Ig increased with time after infection and paralleled parasitemia and reticulocytosis. The erythrocyte-associated immunoglobulins are mainly IgG but IgM was also present on the cells of some mice. A large proportion of the Ig could be eluted at 37 degrees C and was analyzed by immunoprecipitation and acrylamide gel electrophoresis. A radioautographic study with 125I-labeled anti-mouse IgG revealed that both parasitized and nonparasitized reticulocytes of infected mice had much larger amounts of membrane-bound immunoglobulin than did mature, nonparasitized erythrocytes. The nature of the bonds between the Ig and the surface membrane of the reticulocytes is not known. The Ig could be part of immune complexes nonspecifically bound to the cell surface. However, since we have not detected Fc or C3d receptors on reticulocytes, it is possible that the Ig constitutes autoantibodies against reticulocytes or antibodies against parasitic antigens present on the cell membrane.
