Sialolithiasis is the most common pathology of the submandibular gland, as 80% of all salivary duct calculi form in the submandibular (Wharton's) duct. With respect to expressive validity, a classification like the DDC ranks higher than traditional thesauri, being to a greater degree based on an instrumental approach to meaning--an approach that offers an alternative to a single picture of the world, one that is jammed into the procrustean structure of logical hierarchies and propositional calculi. The text of this work, Vaclav Smil's latest, is forbidding indeed, and peppered with calculi, formulae, tables which only a specialist is likely to understand. |
