Follows a surgeon's approach to technique, providing step-by-step instructions so you understa...
Hypospadias and Genital Development
This book focuses on the current basic science research of hypospadias and genital development. Congenital anomalies of the genitalia are the second most common birth abnormality besides congenital heart defects. Genital anomalies come in many varieties with the most common abnormality being hypospadias. The etiology of hypospadias remains unknown and the incidence is doubling in western countries with no definable explanation. It therefore seems especially germane to study this common congenital anomaly with a baseline incidence of 1/125-250 newborn males.
Current Views of Fatty Acid Oxidation and Ketogenesis
Bringing together biochemical, genetic, molecular biology, and clinical approaches to the study of fatty acid oxidation, this text includes late-1990s research from most of the major groups working in this field. It provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the subject and an up-to-date overview of the most recent developments and debates.
Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Biomedicine
WHAT HAPPENED IN KANAZAWA? THE BIRTH OF eCAM This book contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, (CAM) which was convened in Kanazawa Japan, November 8-10, 2002. The participants were mainly from Japan, USA, China, France, England, Germany, Taiwan, and India. The world of western medicine is gradually opening its doors to new ways of ap proaching healing. Since many of these approaches began centuries and even millennia ago in Asia, it was entirely appropriate to open our symposium in Kanazawa, a beautiful, traditional city located on the Sea of Japan. Experts from Asia, Europe and the United States gathered together for true discussio...
Advances in Systems Biology
This book is based on the proceedings of the inaugural symposium "Northwest Symposium for Systems Biology". Particular focus is on identifying current breakthrough technologies and their application to important model systems. By integrating computational sciences, high-throughput technologies and quantitative biology, this book will advance the understanding of not just the function of individual genes, proteins and smaller molecules like hormones, but also how all of these molecules interact within a cell. This volume will be a collection of presentations on four topics that comprise the scope of the Genomes to Life project recently announced by the Department of Energy. They are four aspects of a system biology approach to understanding microbial communities. These topics include complex microbial systems, gene regulatory networks, molecular machines/ multiprotein complexes and computational techniques.
Oral Pharmacotherapy for Male Sexual Dysfunction
For the generation that reached sexual maturity in the 1960s, the “pill” became synonymous with sexual freedom and started a sexual revolution. For women it meant freedom from the fear of pregnancy, and for men enhanced sexual opportunity. The new era of the pill has nothing to do with fertility, but everything to do with sex. The first orally effective prescr- tion drug for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) was marketed in 1998. ® Sildenafil (Viagra ) has rejuvenated the aging male veterans of the sexual revolution, forever changed the science of sexual medicine, and tra- formed society’s perspective on aging and sex. This class of drugs, known as oral phosphodiesterase inhibitors (...
Brain Death and Disorders of Consciousness
Although some decades have passed, there are still worldwide controversies about a concept of human death on neurological grounds. There are also disagreements on the diagnostic criteria for brain death, whether clinical alone or clinical plus ancillary tests. Moreover, some scholars who were strong defenders of a brain-based standard of death are now favoring a circulatory-respiratory standard. The study of coma is extremely important because lesions of the brain are responsible for quality of life in patients or cause of death. The main goal of Brain Death and Disorders of Consciousness is to provide a suitable scientific platform to discuss all topics related to human death and coma.
Pediatric Urology
This practical evidence-based textbook clearly addresses operativeprocedures and the prevention and management of common and rarecomplications encountered in pediatric urological practices. In the current climate of informed consent and medicolegalaspects of any surgical intervention, it is essential to givepatients and their carers all the information available. With worldrenowned editors and contributors offering their personalexperiences, Pediatric Urology thoroughly explores thisissue and also addresses essential topics including: principles of surgical audit general principles open surgery of the upper urinary tract surgery of the bladder endoscopic surgery of the urinary tract genitalia renal impairment surgery urogenital tumors trauma surgery for urinary incontinence The book is uniquely written for trainees in pediatric surgery,general surgery and pediatric urology as a learning tool forlearning consent and preparation for examinations. It is alsoinvaluable for trainers in the above specialities as an accessiblereference to complement their experience.
Pediatric Gender Assignment
This book represents the proceedings from a conference that took place in Dallas in the spring of 1999 which was entitled "Pediatric Gender Assignment - A Critical Reappraisal". Some participants rightfully argued that the conference really focused on the issue of pediatric gender assignment, and that reassignment was not applied in most cases. Their comments were reflected in the title of this monograph. This multidisciplinary meeting was sponsored by a conference grant from the National Institutes of Health, and a broad inquiry into this complex topic took place from many points of view. Basic scientists offered insight into mechanisms of sexual differentiation of the gonads, physical phen...
