Effects of Lifestyle on Men's Health provides an evidence-based review of the effects of modifiable risk factors such as sleep, diet, stress and exercise on various elements of men's health, notably sexual function, urinary function and cancer prevention and detection. Content highlights the most up-to-date basic and clinical information available, along with future research directions. Each chapter provides an easy to reference bullet point style summary to highlight the salient take-home messages from each section. Researchers and clinicians alike can use this book as a reference point for all matters related to lifestyle and men's health. - Offers an evidence-based review of the associations between modifiable risk factors (diet, lifestyle, sleep, environment and exercise) and men's health - Delivers examples of how changes to risk factors improve overall health - Provides insight into what the future of men's health holds in terms of basic and clinical research
This is a reference manual for daily use in the Reproductive Medicine or Andrology laboratory, which goes beyond the literature available in the scientific journals by compiling insights into a detailed and applied clinical approach. All established practitioners in Reproductive Medicine will find much of practical relevance about the latest insights into sperm selection and analysis.
The fastest evolving field in urology is certainly male reproductive medicine and surgery. Getting sperm and egg together is beyond what science fiction could have imagined only a few decades ago. Such remarkable progress created a whole host of issues including epidemiologic, surgical, medical, and societal. The authors contributing to this issue were asked to consider their topics today and a couple of decades into the future. As the foundations of reproductive genetics and the male endocrine system undergird all, they are explored in depth. Common conditions such as infection and inflammation, the ever problematic varicocele, and ejaculatory dysfunction are thoughtfully reviewed. The key ...
This unique text discusses the wide range of causes and pathophysiologic conditions contributing to recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and the current treatment approaches to best approach this challenging patient population. Beginning with a presentation of the mechanism of normal implantation, the physiologic synchrony between embryo and endometrium, and the roles of both gametes and embryos in RIF, the book then examines the various genetic, immune and environmental factors involved. Abnormalities of the hematologic and endocrine system, as well as those of the anatomy and microbiome, are described in detail. Last but no less important, the psychological stress and treatment of patients...
Translational Urology covers the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations. The reader will come to fully understand important concepts, including case-control study, prospective cohort study, randomized trial, and reliability study. Medical researchers will benefit from greater confidence in their ability to initiate and execute their own investigations, avoid common pitfalls in urology, and know what is needed for successful collaboration. Further, this title is an indispensable tool in grant writing and funding efforts.This practical, straightforward approach helps the aspiring investigator navigate challenging conside...
This gold standard text has kept its readers abreast of rapid advancements in reproductive medicine and surgery since 1983. Continuing this tradition, this fifth edition has been fully updated and revised to provide clear, didactic advice on best practice for a variety of clinical situations faced by practitioners across many specialties - including urologists, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, medical endocrinologists and many in internal medicine and family practice who see men with suboptimal fertility and reproductive problems. Completely restructured to include pedagogical features such as easily accessible key concepts that cement understanding and real-world use. Covering everything from foundations of anatomy and embryology, through clinical evaluation, diagnostic approaches, treatment and fertility care in context within the healthcare system and society, thrilling advances and future directions are also included. This new edition is an essential reference for all who are working in this young and rapidly evolving field.
Under the direction of New Consulting Editor, Dr. Kevin Loughlin, Guest Editors Drs. Jim C. Hu and Jonathan Shoag have put together a state-of-the-art monograph on robotics in urologic surgery. Not only do expert authors present current status and advances in this field, but they also look at what the future of robotic urologic surgery will mean for urologists and patients. Clinical review articles are devoted to the following topics: Robotic Ureteral Reconstruction; Robotic Prostatectomy: Technical Modifications that Improve Outcomes; Robotic Radical Cystectomy; Robotic Urology Training; Robotic Prostatectomy Quality Improvements; Robotic Lower Urinary Tract Reconstruction; Incorporating AI into GU Endoscopy; Competing Robotic Systems: A Preview; Robotic Intracorporeal Diversion; Robotic Reconstruction in Pediatric Urology; Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: Update on Techniques; Robotics in Male Infertility; Transperineal Biopsy; Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Upper-Tract TCC; and Retzius-Sparing Robotic Prostatectomy. Urologists will come away with the information they need to stay on top of advances in the area of robotic surgery.
Urological Emergencies: A Practical Approach, Second Edition provides a concise, evidence based review of common urgent and emergent urological conditions in children and adults. Descriptions of the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic considerations on topics of traumatic, infectious, obstructive, hemorrhagic, iatrogenic, vascular and congenital urological emergencies in adults and children are provided. The text is organized by pathophysiology rather than organ system, allowing the reader to develop approaches to the care of patients with acute urological conditions based on mechanism of disease. Relevant pathophysiological background and epidemiology are reviewed, necessary diagnostic t...
Encyclopedia of Reproduction, Second Edition, Six Volume Set comprehensively reviews biology and abnormalities, also covering the most common diseases in humans, such as prostate and breast cancer, as well as normal developmental biology, including embryogenesis, gestation, birth and puberty. Each article provides a comprehensive overview of the selected topic to inform a broad spectrum of readers, from advanced undergraduate students, to research professionals. Chapters also explore the latest advances in cloning, stem cells, endocrinology, clinical reproductive medicine and genomics. As reproductive health is a fundamental component of an individual’s overall health status and a central ...
