Sympathectomy. An Anatomical and physiological Study with Clinical Implications

1958 MONOGRAPH ON EFFECTS OF SYMPATHECTOMY ON LONG-TERM PHYSIOLOGIC FOLLOW-UP OF OVER 50 PATIENTS, CORRELATED WITH POST-MORTEM FINDINGS. 10 inches tall hardcover, gray cloth binding, gilt title to spine, bookplate of physician owner to front paste-down, xx, 290 pp, 84 figures, folding table; near-fine in very good dust jacket. PETER ALEXANDER GEORGE MONRO (1919 - 2005) was anatomist, lecturer, and Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. After the war, Monro worked at the EMS hospital at Harold Wood, Essex, before returning to the London Hospital Medical College in 1948 as Demonstrator in Anatomy under J.D. Boyd. His research at this time covered laboratory work and clinical observations on aspects of the sympathetic nervous system. He published his findings in his 1959 book Sympathectomy: an anatomical and physiological study with clinical applications. In 1951, Monro followed Boyd to Cambridge, becoming a Demonstrator and then, in 1955, a Lecturer in anatomy. He spent the year 1954-55 in the USA, on an Eli Lilly Travelling Fellowship at NIH and at the University of Pennsylvania. Monro's later research concerned the flow of blood in small vessels. He invented and made apparatus for the purpose, and devised innovative methods of visualising blood flow in vivo in animal model systems. He was also active in the affairs of both the British Microcirculation Society and the European Society for Microcirculation.
