A large cross-section of the world’s great and good in colorectal
surgery have been enticed, inveigled, I suspect at times brow-beaten, to
produce this tour de force. The editors, themselves famous for their own
extensive contributions in this area, must be congratulated for their fine
achievements.

The increasing awareness on the varied consequences of hypogonadism in
distinct organs and systems has supported the notion of estrogens as systemic
agents. This observation is congruent with the variety of tissues affected by estrogens
when used in hormone therapy formulations on hypogonadic women.
Apart from the genital tract...

For anyone artistically inclined, observing the Moon and attempting to sketch or paint it can easily become a passion. The Moon presents a broad array of tone, texture, and form. Capturing this in a painting or sketch at the eyepiece of a telescope or even with binoculars develops observational skills, leaves a record of the observation, and...
