The Epstein-Barr virus was discovered 15 years ago.

During recent years enzyme histochemical reactions have increasingly been considered as important, the reason being that enzyme histo- chemistry is now a well-established link between morphology and bio- chemistry.

This is a little book with no great pretensions.

The question how to induce general anaesthesia without problems has been asked repeatedly by anaesthetists and pharmacologists.

It is a privilege and pleasure to write a foreword to this work.

The fact that, of the approximately 600,000 plant species existing on the earth, only some 5 % have been specifically investigated chemically or pharmacologi- cally, is a challenge to chemists spezializing in na- tural substances and to pharmacologists.

With the introduction of antibiotics acute inflammatory disease has ceased to be the dominant problem in general medical practice and its place is now increasingly occupied by chronic inflamma- tory disease of which the rheumatic diseases constitute the most important group.

A workshop on Dynamic Aspects of Cerebral Edema was organized to pro- vide an opport~nitY,for interdisciplinary and detailed consideration of this subject, so crucial in neurology and neurosurgery.

Despite the amazing progress made by the stereotactic technique, particularly regarding the localization of the target, despite the extreme caution, which stereotactic neurosurgeons apply at every step of the procedures, despite the routine roentgenologic and physiologic controls (depth EEG, electric stimulation) preceding the production of a lesion, there remains a certain degree of uncertainty regarding the position, shape and extent of the lesion as well as of the electrode track and also regarding unintended lesions in the vicinity.
