Urogynecology in Primary Care provides a clear and concise resource for primary care providers interested in the most rapidly growing area of womens healthcare: urogynecology and female pelvic health. It offers an approachable, yet in-depth reference on the core topics - female incontinence, pelvic prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction - specifically tailored to clinicians without formal surgical or specialty training. These complex subjects are distilled into a clinically useful guide, providing primary care providers with all of the tools necessary to begin managing these conditions in a cost-effective and time-efficient way.
Each aspect of diagnosis and treatment is presented in a clear and simple style, introducing streamlined strategies that can be implemented in any primary care setting. Original illustrations, key points at the end of each chapter, and clinical pearls from experts in the field all help to make Urogynecology in Primary Care the most practical and user-friendly guide available.
Cancer forms a large part of urological practice. Prostate cancer is the most significant and is the second most common cause of male cancer deaths with some 300,000 cases in the USA annually. Cancer of the bladder is also common. While treatment has been primarily surgical, recent years have seen an explosion of new drug therapies for urological cancers.
All urologists, whether in training or in practice, need an up-to-date survey of the literature and key findings in this important and controversial field.
This book takes each organ in turn (prostate, kidney, bladder, testis and penis) and tackles the controversies head-on by inviting chapters on various (often rival) treatments for each disease. Each section is then concluded by a commentary from the editor which draws together the various strands, outlines the principal areas of consensus and disagreement.
Jonathan Waxman is an oncologist who specialises in urological tumours and has developed new treatments for prostate, bladder and kidney cancer and for terminal care, which are now part of standard practice. He founded the Prostate Cancer Charity and helped establish an all-party parliamentary group to improve cancer treatment and research throughout the UK.
Assisted Reproduction Treatment (ART) is susceptible to the hazard of potential infection from many different sources: patients, samples, staff, and the environment. This practical book presents a basic overview of microbiology in the context of ART, and also constitutes an up-to-date guide to infections in reproductive medicine. The relevant facets of the complex and vast field of microbiology are condensed and focused, highlighting information that is crucial for safe practice in both clinical and laboratory aspects of ART.
The Textbook of Nephro-Endocrinology is the definitive translational reference in the field of nephro-endocrinology, investigating both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems. It offers both researchers and clinicians expert, gold-standard analysis of nephro-endocrine research and translation into the treatment of diseases such as anemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), rickets, osteoprosis, and, hypoparathyroidism.
* Investigates both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems. * Presents a uniquely comprehensive and cross-disciplinary look at all aspects of nephro-endocrine disorders in one reference work. * Clear translational presentations by the top endocrinologists and nephrologists in each specific hormone or functional/systems field.
The book covers all techniques involved in uro-oncology which are widely accepted, well established, safe, standardized, reproducible, and teachable. The aim is not to divide the oncology into two worlds (open surgery versus laparoscopy), but to enlarge the technical proposals, with the same common goal. The book contains black and white drawings only as these are generally more precise and give a clearer understanding. The book is essential reading for all urologists interested in laparoscopy as well as urologists in training (residents) or doing a fellowship in Oncology or Minimally Invasive Surgery.

This study guide takes each chapter of Clinical Pediatric Urology: Fifth Edition—without doubt the most well-respected and authoritative book on the subject in the world—and, in the format of a Q&A style, poses the most common questions in that particular area, which those taking the ABU examinations are likely to be tested on.
With a foreword from Stephen Docimo, this study guide provides crucial information to a host of urologists in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This text is a “what you need to know” guide to the kind of issues facing pediatric urologists today.
Male factor infertility is a common problem in reproductive medicine and can have a significant effect of the outcome of IVF treatment. This comprehensive book covers the diagnosis and treatment of male factor infertility in depth. It opens with a section on the basic science underlying the production of male gametes. There is then a major section on diagnosis that will prove very useful to a wide range of andrologists, endocrinologists, and REIs faced with unpicking the problems facing infertile couples. The final section addresses management of the subfertile male, including endocrinologic, surgical, and ART interventions. The book is authored by a prestigious, international team of contributors.
Formulated by members of the International Scientific Committee of Radionuclides in Nephro-urology (ISCORN), Functional Imaging in Nephro-urology is not a textbook on uronephrology or radionuclides in nephro-urology, or even a book on new techniques in imaging. What the editor and authors provide here is a unique opportunity to evaluate the strategic management techniques (both diagnosis and follow-up) of a number of uronephrological entities.
Demonstrating the experience of the authors in using various imaging modalities, and detailing the benefits and controversies which are associated with their clinical applications, this text presents management strategies based on the patient, the choice of modality, and cost implications.
Detailed, well-referenced and highly illustrated, this is an important book for radiologists, nephrologists and urologists working with children and adults, specialists in renal nuclear medicine, and pediatricians.
The EAU Guidelines Office has been overseeing the production of guidelines and clinical practice recommendations for a number of years now. At the outset of this project it was stated that the purpose of these texts is not to be proscriptive in the way a clinician should treat a patient, but rather to provide access to the best contemporaneous consensus view on the most appropriate management currently available. This still applies and the EAU guidelines are not meant to be law texts but are produced with the ultimate aim to help urologists with their day-to-day practice.
