    Summary: Congenital and perinatal infections remain a stubborn and major cause of morbidity and mortality in infants throughout the world. This concise, accessible account provides an essential guide to the diagnosis, management and prevention of these infections. The first three chapters underline how and why infections during this critical period can be so devastating. The main section of the book focuses on individual infections, and emphasises effective intervention based on the very latest knowledge and techniques. Another unique feature of this account is its recognition that the severity and types of these infections vary considerably from country to country, and from the developing world to the developed world: the international team of experts involved in this compilation have striven to make this an account that will transcend these boundaries and be suitable for all doctors and allied health professionals around the world charged with the care of the mother and newborn.

    3[H]-Leucine incorporation into (pro)insulin and insulin secretion was investigated using islets prepared by collagenase digestion from pancreata of rats pretreated with the cholimimetic agent pilocarpine or with saline (controls). Under the influence of pilocarpine pretreatment the [3H]-leucine incorporation into islet proteins with insulin immunoreactivity is enhanced at 6 mM glucose in the incubation medium of the islets but the incorporated radioactivity at 18 mM glucose is independent of the pretreatment of the animals. Only small or no changes were found regarding insulin secretion. It is concluded that an influence of pilocarpine pretreatment should be taken into consideration using such islets for studies on the regulation of (pro)insulin biosynthesis.
