✦ Synopsis


Of the contents at the clinical level, there is an interesting approach to conservative surgery for ectopic (tubal) surgery following the pattern set by Skulj i n 1964. There are also useful additions to our knowledge of the combined endocrine contraceptive effect upon the pituitary, suggesting an altered rhythm rather than a suppression. Less convincing are suggestions that single doses of progestogens can cause a 14-day cycle in secondary amenorrhoea. Overall, however, the selection provides interesting and thought-provoking material which is clearly presented.
