Generalized Bone Diseases
The second volume of "Osteologia" - the proceedings of the annual meetings of the German Society for Osteology - differs from the first one in two ways. In contrast to the preceding one this issue is written in English. There had been good reasons for this decision but there had been equally good arguments against it by some board members. We therefore consider this to be a trial. Being aware of the difficulties to prepare a book not in one's mother tongue the editors only made minor corrections of the authors' con tributions. Having published with the first proceedings an overview of the various fields of research on osteology in our country, the conference of the German Society for Osteology now deals with special subjects and so will this conference report. The main heading of this book being "Generalized bone diseases". One chapter will deal with new developments in the field of osteology and another presents unusual cases presented at the meeting. Our hopes are that the efforts of the German Society for Osteology, the local organizers and the editors will find some acknowledgement. Our thanks are due to the authors for their contributions as well as to the publishing house.

Grob makes a historical inquiry into how this one aspect of aging came to be considered a disease. During the 1950s and...

Klinische Osteologie · A
Der außerordentlich große Zuwachs an Wissen seit der ersten Auflage dieses Handbuches vor rund 70 Jahren dokumentiert sich in den hier vorliegenden bei den Bänden, die das Gebiet der klinischen Osteologie in repräsentativer Form zur Darstellung bringen. Die Gliederung in einen mehr theoretischen und in einen mehr klinischen Teil erschien aus zwei Gründen nötig: Erstens sind für das Verständnis der Pathophysiologie der einzelnen Krankheitsbilder heute breite Kenntnisse der physiologischen Grundlagen erforderlich. So schien es ratsam auf den aktuellen Stand der diesbezüglichen endokrinologischen Forschung in Schwerpunktform einzugehen und die modernen Vorstellungen vom Knochenumbau un...
