This was an important Symposium in a rapidly developing field of
interest. It was designed to draw attention to areas which have
been neglected in standard hepatology textbooks and to review areas
of controversy. It was also meant to help bridge the communication
gap between hepatologists'caring for children and adults as well as
between some areas of clinical and basic research. The Symposium
was a substantial success. Unfortunately two of the twenty
participants did not deliver a manuscript. The result is a
publication which is late and which is not as complete as it should
be. For this lateness and incompleteness the editors apolo gize
most sincerely--especially to those participants who delivered
their manuscripts on time but even to those who delivered their
manu scripts late. perhaps the most noteworthy feature of this
publication is the fact that material presented in May 1980 is by
no means out of date. Apart from the section on Viral Hepatitis,
one of the most rapidly evolving fields of medicine, the context of
the Symposium remains disturbingly current. The neglect continues,
the controversies remain. We hope that this publication will help
draw investigators into liver research, provide a useful point of
reference for. those in the field and stand as a monument to
editors past, present and future, who have chased, are chasing and
will chase manuscripts in vain."
