    Summary: This book provides a comprehensive overview of fibromyalgia syndrome that focuses on integrating concepts relevant to the pathogenesis, epidemiology and treatment of the condition. Details of how to manage sleep disorders, assess related disabilities, use pharmacological and complementary treatments are provided. Relevant aspects of neuromodulation, genetics, and neuromodulation are also covered. Therefore, enabling the reader to develop a deep understanding of the underlying triggers of and tools for assessing and treating fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia Syndrome features a wealth of information on the basic science and contains guidance on how to make clinical decisions when treating patients with this condition, and is a valuable resource for any medical professional or trainee seeking a dedicated up-to-date resource on the topic.

    Xenon has been investigated as a contrast medium for conventional radiography, and in vitro as a contrast medium for computed tomography. The authors evaluated xenon contrast enhancement in vivo for CT body scanning. Nine healthy subjects had CT scans before and during xenon inhalation. Concentrations of xenon used varied from 10--50%. Consistent useful changes in attenuation from inhaled xenon were found in the lung but not in abdominal organs. Lung attenuation varied linearly with the xenon concentration in the inhaled gas. Inhalation of xenon concentrations greater than 30% resulted in side effects. Further studies are required to demonstrate whether xenon contrast enhancement is of diagnostic value in computed tomography.
