    Summary: "Surgery in Systemic Autoimmune Disease, Volume 15, describes the state-of-the-art of the use of surgery in treating the most common systemic autoimmune diseases (SADS). The volume consists of an introductory chapter concerning the impact of surgery on SADs, follow by eight chapters describing the use of surgery in the treatment of specific diseases in various areas (cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, neurology. etc.) and the possible difficulties and complications. The final five chapters deal with the possible complications arising during the course of biological and non-biological treatment, also providing recommendation concerning their management. International in scope, the list of more than 20 contributors from Europa and America reads like a who's who of clinical researchers in the field. Written by leading international clinical/surgical and scientific experts on surgical problems in SADsProvides a practical guide to the safer use of surgery in patients with autoimmune diseasesIncludes a number of problems and recommendations that cannot be found in other booksDesigned as a 'guide to clinical practice' for surgical interventions required by patients with SADsGives a comprehensive review of the available surgical options"-- Provided by publisher.

    The circadian rhythm of plasma aldosterone (PAC) and cortisol concentration (PCC), and renin activity (PRA) was measured in five steroid and five non-steroid treated kidney transplanted patients--all with denervated kidney grafts--and compared with four normal controls and two steroid-treated patients with non-renal disease and thus normal renal innervation. The non-steroid treated patients had a normal circadian thythm of PAC and PCC, but without variation of PRA, suggesting that denervation of the kidneys has no influence on the circadian rhythm of PAC. In both steroid treated groups the PAC showed an inverse diurnal variation--now correlating to the diurnal variation in PRA. The inverse circadian rhythm of PAC in patients with suppressed ACTH secretion remains unexplained, but is in accordance with the nocturnal peak of sodium and water excretion in steroid treated patients.
