Digest softcover. Condizione: Good+. A very nice copy of the short lived Venture Science Fiction digest that only saw ten editions during its first run in the late 1950s.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Pp. 303-399 (but see below concerning pagination), with 85 text figures. Contemporary cloth, with original printed wrappers bound in. Xlib: call no. on spine, library bookplate, pouch on rear pastedown, ink stamp on each fore edge. Aside from the library markings, Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY SCARFF: "For/ Dr. Houston Merritt/ with warmest regards and esteem/ Ted Scarff." With ink name stamp of Houston Merritt on front flyleaf. A fine association as Scarff and Merritt were colleagues at the Neurological Institute of New York. John Edwin Scarff (1898-1978) was known as "Ted". The front wrapper states (see photo): "International Abstracts of Surgery, Reprint from Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, November 1955, Volume 101, 417-513".

Acta Psychiat. Neurol. Scan., 34/3. - Kopenhagen, Ejnar Munksgaard, 1959, 8°, pp.354-374, 24 Figs., orig. wrappers. Offprint! "The first series of endoscopic choroid plexus coagulation procedures by Scarff consisted of 20 cases operated before World War II between the years 1934 and 1942. These cases were reported initially in 1942, with subsequent progress reports in 1952, 1959, 1963, 1965, and 1966. His second series consisted of 19 children operated after World War II between 1946 and 1952. They were reported initially in 1952, with subsequent follow-up reports in 1959, 1963, 1965, and 1966. In the first series, 50% of operated children survived 5 years or longer, with an average survival of 18 years. In the second series, 80% of children survived 8 years or longer, with an average survival of 13 years. In both series, long-term survival was achieved without revision surgeries once satisfactory bilateral cauterizations of the choroid plexuses had been accomplished. The intellectual development of the 19 long-term survivors in the two series varied widely. Ten children (50%) achieved good or at least satisfactory intellectual development with some going to college or finishing high school. On the other hand, three children were attractive and socially well-adjusted but moderately retarded, and could never get beyond the third grade in school. The remaining six were severely retarded."
