Excerpt from The Medical News and Abstract, Vol. 38: A Consolidation of the "Medical News and Library" And the "Monthly Abstract of Medical Science;" Mitral Obstruction, as represented by the presystolic murmur, may be tolerated indefinitely, and is not incompatible with comfortable health. Of a pretty large number of cases sustaining this statement, I will refer to a few. Twelve years ago I saw a woman a few days after her confinement. She had orthopnoea, cyanosis, much anasarca, and a large dropsical eflfu sion into both pleural cavities. There was a mitral direct murmur, with moderate enlargement of the heart. The physician who attended her in labor said the dyspncea was such as to lead him to fear that She would die before the birth Of her child. She was promptly relieved by the free Operation of elaterium. She apparently regained good health. Mean while, I have seen her once, in consultation, with a moderate general dropsy. This was several years since, and I have lately heard of her as in comfortable health. I have notes of two cases, both women, who were under my observa tion for more than ten years. In both the mitral obstruction did not interfere with comfortable health. In one case death at length took place, preceded by much suffering from dyspnoea and by general dropsy. In the other case, while the patient continued to suffer but little, and was accustomed to much activity, death was caused by gangrene of both lower limbs, probably due to embolism.

It is a turbulent time for STM publishing. With moves towards open access to scientific literature, the future of medical journals is uncertain and unpredictable. This is the only book of its kind to address this problematic issue. Richard Smith, a previous editor of the British Medical Journal for twenty five years and one of the most influential people within medical journals and medicine depicts a compelling picture of medical publishing. Drawn from the author's own extensive and unrivalled experience in medical publishing, Smith provides a refreshingly honest analysis of current and future trends in journal publishing including peer review, ethics in medical publishing, the influence of the pharmaceutical industry as well as that of the mass media, and the risk that money can cloud objectivity in publishing. Full of personal anecdotes and amusing tales, this is a book for everyone, from researcher to patient, author to publisher and editor to reader. The controversial and highly topical nature of this book, will make uncomfortable reading for publishers, researchers, funding bodies and pharmaceutical companies alike making this useful resource for anyone with an interest in medicine or medical journals.
