Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area of study related to the diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs is known as urology. The kidneys, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, testes, prostate, seminal vesicles and penis are some of the organs studied under the branch of urology. Both the urinary tract and the reproductive tract are closely associated with each other. Therefore, the diseases of one usually affect the other. Examples of urological disorders include urinary-tract infections, prostate cancer, traumatic injury, kidney stones, congenital abnormalities, etc. Minimally invasive robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery are two common ways to treat urological disorders. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to urology. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

Download or read book Recent Advances In Prostate Cancer Basic Science Discoveries And Clinical Advances written by Donald J Tindall and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book effectively summarizes our knowledge of recent advances in prostate cancer. It focuses on our state-of-the-art understanding of risk factors, prevention, detection, prognosis and treatment of prostate cancer and identifies basic science findings that are being translated into clinical practice. In addition, the book singles out key areas of research that have potential for clinical translation. Both basic scientists and clinicians will be invited to provide up-to-date reviews in each area of prostate cancer.During the last decade the pace of clinical discovery and the scientific advances in prostate cancer have been very rapid. For instance, currently there are more than 100 drugs in the pharmaceutical pipeline that have the potential for clinical management of prostate cancer. Therefore, it has been very difficult for clinicians and basic scientists to keep pace with the field as a whole. Recently, some of these discoveries are already having an impact on clinical practice. For example, the discovery of the androgen receptor gene amplification in prostate cancer has led to the development of a “super-antiandrogen”, which is being tested in clinical trials. Also, recent knowledge of androgen synthesis in prostate cancer cells has led to clinical trials with steroid-metabolism inhibitors. Finally, robotic surgery has also dramatically changed clinical practice. Thus, this important book serves to provide readers with a one-stop overview of the field of prostate cancer research and its translation into the clinical arena.
Download or read book Urological Research written by Gerald P. Murphy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education, patient care, and research combine into the expression of what is known as a university center: a place of learning, a place of development, a place of patient care and cure, a place of compassion, a place of progress. Many centers reflect to the highest degree all of these qualities. Those of us within this volume wish to give testimony to the urological center developed, designed, and cared for by Dr. William Wallace Scott. This man, in our opinion, reflects all of the preceding features to the highest degree. We in Urology have benefited greatly by his leadership and counsel. Herein will be found articles on patient care, research, education, and historical vignettes. These can hardly be a measure of the man but serve to underline modern progress in Urology and clinical research. LOWELL R. KING, M. D. GERALD P. MURPHY, M. D. , D. Sc. v Patrons DR. J. ARCADI DR. J.

Download or read book Tumours in Urology written by David E. Neal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of uro-oncology has been one of the dramatic features of the past decade in urology. Basic science research into the immunol ogy and molecular biology of cancer is beginning to impact on clinical urology and this poses a number of problems, both for practising urologists and basic scientists. If they are going to contribute to future research in this area they will have to communicate with each other: at present there is a gap which is widening at an increasingly rapid rate. One of the aims of this book is to bridge this gap by collating the views of a group of internationally distinguished scientists and clinicians in order to make this information more easily accessible. It is intended that the book will be useful to any urologist interested in recent developments in uro-oncology both at the clinical and basic science level. I believe the book has a useful function not otherwise fulfilled by present texts. The first section of the book is directed towards bladder cancer.

Download or read book Stem Cells in Urology written by Seyed Mohammad Kazem Aghamir and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume emphasizes the potential of stem cells to be pertained in the urology field and attempts to disclose the history of the field up to the latest advances to date. It gathers the majority of papers that advocate utilizing stem cells as the best option for treating, diagnosing, and managing diseases related to urological system. This book covers a broad spectrum of issues, including mesenchymal stem cells, cancer stem cells, organoids, regenerative medicine, erectile dysfunction, bladder dysfunction, and kidney transplant. From several decades ago, as characteristic features of stem cells have been explored, it has attracted a great amount of interests. In view of their multiple capacity of differentiating into various lineages, many studies were conducted to assess their beneficial potential. Despite considerable progress into applying stem cells in animal models, for translating into clinical practices there are several obstacles to be resolved. However, few clinical studies have been performed in each field and outcomes were delightful. There is an ongoing hope for stem cells to someday, be the mainstream treatments of urological diseases, although stem cells treatments already exist they are not well-known. Indeed, this book is essential for anyone who is working with the purpose of employing stem cells to treat the urological diseases and discusses at length the latest advances as well as their limitations.
Download or read book Advances in Bladder Research written by Laurence S. Baskin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of Bladder Research Congress, San Francisco, California, April 23-25, 1998, was to provide a forum for authoritative investigators who are actively involved in the various disciplines which define the leading edges of bladder research. It is important for such investigators to continue to meet regularly for the purpose of discussing the latest developments in their individual fields, to analyze the significance of current research, to discuss new tactics for unresolved problems, to critically evaluate current theories, and to develop new theories and approaches as needed. The two and a half day meeting was organized into five half day sessions, with each session encompassing one of five topics: (1) Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions; (2) Ex tracellular Matrix and Muscle; (3) Nerves and Pharmacology; (4) Infection and Immunol ogy; and (5) Oncology. Each session was introduced by a moderator followed by five to six invited expert speakers with time for extensive interaction from the participants. Two late-afternoon poster sessions allowed further interactions between investigators. This book documents the proceedings of the Bladder Research Congress. It is organ ized into the five half-day sessions of the meeting with moderators overview and an edited transcription of discussions that followed each presentation. I would like to thank Sarah Burke and the Office of Continuing Medical Education, USCF; Joanne Hayward, Editorial Assistant; and Miriam Escamilla, Administrative Assis tant. I hope you find this resource useful. Laurence S. Baskin, M.D.

Download or read book Strategic Plan for Pediatric Urology written by Department of Health and Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric urology is a well-established area of clinical medicine that deals with the diseases of the urinary and genital tracts of children. These include a wide range of conditions that are both birth defects and acquired conditions, all having a spectrum of severity that ranges from causing early death or renal failure to the social burden of incontinence. Pediatric urology remains an underserved field in terms of research funding and activity relative to the health impact of pediatric urological conditions. Many of the conditions cared for by the pediatric urologist are relatively rare and unfamiliar—for example, posterior urethral valves—yet have profound impact on long-term health of the child and adult. Others are extremely common, such as urinary tract infection (UTI), yet may have a wide spectrum of severity that conveys the impression of relatively mild impact. Some conditions may have both direct health impact as well as potentially severe psychosocial impact, such as the intersex conditions and other congenital anomalies of the genitalia.
