    Summary: This book serves as a guide for senior trainees preparing for their final professional exams at the end of at least 4 - 5 years of advanced training in an approved plastic and reconstructive surgery training programme. These exams are extremely challenging and difficult to pass, and a knowledge of plastic surgery alone is not enough. Judgement, discipline and the ability to handle the pressure of the exam interactions are key. The book dissects each segment of the exam and presents the common clinical, anatomical and pathological cases that candidates are likely to encounter.

    Factors contributing to variability in chemiluminescence (CL) measurements of phagocytizing granulocytes were identified and controlled. Observed CL was decreased by light quenching caused by red blood cells, hemoglobin, phagocytizable particles, and granulocytes. Increases in CL were achieved by opsonization with heat labile and heat stable (antibody) serum factors, reaction temperatures in the range of 37-40 degrees C, and mixing. The effects of controlled temperature variation and mixing were studied with a chemiluminescence spectrometer uniquely designed for such studies. Features of this spectrometer which make it more suitable than the previously employed scintillation spectrometers for the observation of granulocyte and other chemiluminescent systems include; (1) the ability to measure CL immediately upon reaction initiation; (2) simplicity of photomultiplier tube exchange; and (3) built-in optical filter holders for spectral analysis.
