Pediatric and Adolescent Urologic Imaging

October 27, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=146148653X]

Pediatric and Adolescent Urologic Imaging provides a comprehensive reference for health care providers of children and adolescents with urologic conditions. This is the first book in which each chapter is written collaboratively by at least one author from each specialty. This unique approach melds the expertise of each specialist and offers it to the reader in a manner aimed at reinforcing the integration of clinical information to radiologic imaging.

The book is arranged into two sections allowing for easy access to the information. The first section covers the principles of each radiologic modality as well as radiation safety and the history of uroradiology. The second section integrates the lessons of the first section into specific urologic conditions arranged anatomically and includes additional unique conditions.

Pediatric and Adolescent Urologic Imaging is a key reference for pediatric urologists and radiologists as well as primary care providers, general urologists and radiologists, fellows, residents, medical students, and mid-level providers.

The History of Technologic Advancements in Urology 1st ed. 2018 Edition

October 20, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=3319616897]

This text explores the history and development of the many technologies that have led to how we treat contemporary urologic problems. From the development of the cystoscope, the advances in laparoscopy, the birth of the field of endourology, to the era of robotics today, urologists have pushed the envelope in technologic innovation.

The editors highlight the development of the cystoscope and the early tools used to treat ureteral stones, the development of ureteroscopy, and the applications of lasers and shock wave lithotripsy in the treatment of urolithiasis. Furthermore, they explore the history of minimally invasive treatments in urologic oncology from the story behind the first laparoscopic nephrectomy, the application of hand-assisted technology to the development of robotics and percutaneous treatment approaches (radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation).

As the field of urology continues to evolve, urologists will continue to look to the future with the recent applications of histotripsy and regenerative medicine.

This text chronicles the creativity, innovation and discovery of the developments of the instruments that allow to practice urology today, as well as glimpse what the future of urology holds.

Active Surveillance for Localized Prostate Cancer: A New Paradigm for Clinical Management (Current Clinical Urology) 2nd ed. 2018 Edition

October 18, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=3319627090]

“The concept of active surveillance (AS) was developed by Klotz, with the aim of limiting the risk of overtreatment in patients with low-risk cancers, while providing timely radical treatment for those requiring it. Currently, this concept is supported by an increasing number of urologists. … This excellent overview dedicated to AS fills a lack in the literature. … this textbook can be recommended to all physicians involved in prostate cancer management.” (European Urology Today, Vol. 25 (2), March-May, 2013)

“This book summarizes the current worldwide experience with active surveillance for prostate cancer. … this book is appropriate for primary care physicians, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists. Furthermore, it would be valuable to the general audience and patients as it clearly describes the role and implications of active surveillance in the treatment of prostate cancer. … I strongly recommend this book to any clinician whose practice involves the treatment of patients with prostate cancer in any capacity.” (Sanjay Kasturi, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2012)

–This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Back Cover

This fully updated and revised new edition provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of this field, and will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians, surgeons and researchers with an interest in prostate cancer. The book reviews new data about molecular characteristics of the disease, profiles the new grading system for prostate cancer introduced in 2015, and provides new perspectives about imaging of prostate cancer, as well as the role of targeted biopsies. The text summarizes the role of biomarkers and MRI in patient selection and management and details the world wide results of active surveillance. Specific chapters address communication and ethical issues, QOL outcomes, economic aspects, and psycho-social aspects of surveillance. The role of focal therapy for low risk disease is summarized, and the data supporting preventive interventions during surveillance reviewed. This text will serve as a very useful resource for physicians and researchers dealing with, and interested in this common malignancy, as it provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of the field that will help guide patient management and stimulate investigative efforts.

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Atlas of Prostate Cancer 2009th Edition

October 18, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=3540784225]

MRI Atlas of Prostate Cancer analyses high-resolution MRI scanning and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. This combination improves the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer and may soon replace PSA testing and digital rectal examination. The first two chapters focus on normal anatomy, anatomic variations, benign disease and intraprostatic tumors. The subsequent chapters on MRI of extracapsular disease create a useful atlas of pathologic anatomy. This is the first text of its kind to show color-coded DCE-MRI scans of prostate cancer and to correlate these imaging findings with tumor grading. The chapters on the post-treatment prostate clearly display the increasing incidence of post-therapy recurrences. This book is intended for internists, radiologists, radiotherapists, oncologists, urologists, family practitioners, and general surgeons. Ultrasound, MRI, and radiotherapy technicians will find it extremely useful as a reference guide.

Hysterectomy: A Comprehensive Surgical Approach 1st ed. 2018 Edition

September 22, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=3319224964]

This book initiates the descriptions of the practical performance of different hysterectomies with conventional and robotically assisted laparoscopy, laparotomy and vaginal surgery. Laparoscopic hysterectomy has been out as an additional technique for hysterectomies for the last couple of decades. As the necessary light, augmentation and advanced skill has only been introduced into this already 200 year old surgical procedure within the last few decades by laparoscopy, the editors aim to look at the laparoscopic procedures followed by the traditional techniques of hysterectomy with laparotomy and vaginal surgery.
