Normal and Malignant Cell Growth is a compendium of papers from the "Proceedings of the Third Cancer Training Grant" of the University of Chicago that deals with the processes associated with malignant neoplasia, as well as the cell proliferation kinetics of normal tissues. One paper presents the techniques used in the study on the proliferation kinetics of hemopoietic stem cells, suggesting that the hemopoietic stem cell population is not homogenous but consists of a "primitive pluripotential stem cell." A series of experiments at the Brookhaven National Laboratory investigates the relationship of cell survival, specifically that of stem cells, to the survival of the irradiated test animal. One result of the experiment shows a rapid migration of a number of stem cells from shielded marrow into unshielded marrow at the pressure of a rapid circulating pool. The numbers of stem cells are somewhat dependent on the dose given to the unshielded marrow, and are greater with the greater dose. Another paper also investigates the four methods that are used in the study of cellular kinetics in human tumors. This compendium can prove helpful for biochemists, micro-biologists, cellular researchers, and academicians involved in the study of cellular biology, physiology or oncology.

Mechanisms of Drug Toxicity, Volume 4 presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Pharmacological Meeting held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1966. The book discusses the drug-induced pathobiotic effects; the mechanisms of adverse reactions; and enzyme induction in the mechanism of chronic toxicity. The text also describes the influence of inducing substances on the growth of liver and microsomal electron transport systems; the quantitative aspects of chronic toxicity; and the facts and fallacies in predicting drug effects in human.

Salt and Water Balance, Volume 8 presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Pharmacological Meeting, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on July 24–30, 1966. This book features the modulation of renal control of electrolyte and water balance, which is the most effective approach of handling most clinical problems wherein fluid retention needs to be reduced. Comprised of 10 chapters, this compilation of papers starts with an overview of the diuretic agents that are effective diuretic therapy. This text then describes the active transport, which proceeds at the expense of energy against the combined chemical and electrical gradients in the case of electrolytes. Other chapters consider the historical importance in therapy and the mechanisms of action of mercurial diuretics. This book discusses as well the complications and unwanted side effects of diuretic therapy. The final chapter deals with the hemodynamic mechanisms and their possible influence on the tubular function. This book is a valuable resource for physicians, health care professionals, and patients.
