Renal and Adrenal Tumors
The present volume constitutes an attempt to compile contem porary features of diagnosis and treatment of renal and adrenal tumors. A thorough survey of the field is ensured by the authors' considerable scientific experience. Tumors of the kidneys and the adrenal glands are being diagnosed and treated by physicians of different medical disciplines. For both types of tumor, the pathologic cellular substrate is of crucial importance in diagnosis and therapy. In recent years significant diagnostic advances have been made, ranging from angiography through ultrasonography and computer tomography to immunology. New impulses in oncologic therapy have occurred in surgery, radiation therapy, and tumo...
Textbook of Laparoscopic Urology
Divided into eleven detailed sections, this reference displays the expertise and research of specialists from leading urology centers around the world and offers authoritative chapters on the entire spectrum of urologic laparoscopy. The chapters cover methods in patient selection, peri-operative management, and complication avoidance; step-by-step
Renal Cell Cancer
This book is a state-of-the-art reference work covering every aspect of the field of renal cell cancer, from diagnostics to clinical management. It provides an overview of new information concerning epidemiology, molecular and immunologic characteristics, as well as surgical therapy. Particular focus is given to the latest diagnostic tests and genetic counseling. Associated topics such as pain management and palliative care are also covered. It is a vital reference tool for urologists, oncologists and radiologists alike, being the most comprehensive volume available on the subject.
Ultrasound Imaging and Therapy
Up-to-Date Details on Using Ultrasound Imaging to Help Diagnose Various DiseasesDue to improvements in image quality and the reduced cost of advanced features, ultrasound imaging is playing a greater role in the diagnosis and image-guided intervention of a wide range of diseases. Ultrasound Imaging and Therapy highlights the latest advances in usin
Male-mediated Developmental Toxicity
Germ cells have a unique and critical role as the conduit for hereditary information. The issue of male germline mutagenesis and the effects on developmental defects in the next generation has become increasingly high profile in recent years. Understanding the mechanisms by which the germline is induced and maintained is one of the effective ways to treat infertility and cancer. Male-mediated Developmental Toxicity discusses these issues and provides analysis of the fundamental mechanisms of mutations covering both clinical and experimental aspects. It helps clarify the data explaining how genotoxicity involves multiple modes of action and highlights novel models and assays being used to assess germ cell genotoxicity. With a clear focus on the various mechanisms that could impact human health, this book is for postgraduate students and researchers in reproductive and developmental toxicology as well as those with an interest in the fields of genetically inherited diseases, developmental biology and, potentially, those with a more clinical background.
Pelvic Cancer Surgery
Pelvic Cancer Surgery: Modern Breakthroughs and Future Advances brings together the three main pelvic specialties (Urology, Gynecological Oncology and Colorectal Surgery) into one volume. Patients have been shown to benefit from a multidisciplinary approach since it allows surgeons of different specialties to learn from one another therefore enhancing the treatment for the patient. Pelvic cancer outcomes are poor in low volume centres. These centres account for 80% of the global centres dealing with these cancers. Pelvic Cancer Surgery: Modern Breakthroughs and Future Advances is a much needed book that can focus training and assist health professionals in their care of patients with pelvic dysfunction. Pelvic Cancer Surgery: Modern Breakthroughs and Future Advance is complete with full color illustrations and schematic diagrams and makes use of key points and stepwise figures for an enhanced learning experience.
Kidney Cancer
This book provides a comprehensive overview of pathology of kidney tumors along with radiological features and up to date treatment strategies that enable the readers to avail this information in day to day pathology sign-out as well as interaction with clinical colleagues of different disciplines. It also serves as a referral resource for the current medical or surgical practice while preparing for examinations or maintenance of certification. Written by experts in the field, chapters contain an updated review of important pathologic parameters mandated for diagnosis and reporting with emphasis on updated information regarding new developments in this interesting field. Numerous high-resolution color images aptly illustrate the various pathologic entities and their features as outlined in the text section along with tables that highlight the differential diagnoses and salient ancillary features. Kidney Cancer serves as a quick reference for all categories of readers alike, and provides up-to-date information on renal tumor pathology, radiology and management that are required in daily practice.
Long Non-coding RNAs in Human Disease
This volume focuses on the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in contexts ranging from human cancers to cardiovascular disease and ageing. The role of lncRNAs in X-inactivation and those lncRNAs derived from pseudogenes, past retroelements integrated within the human genome, as well as the role these pseudogene-derived lncRNAs play in cancer development are discussed in detail. Further, the book examines the function of lncRNAs in diseases such as diabetes, in smooth muscle formation, and in the modulation of nuclear receptors, as well as in connection with perspectives on the development of personalized therapeutics. It offers an appealing and insightful resource for scientists and clinicians alike.
Endocrine Aspects of Successful Aging: Genes, Hormones and Lifestyles
At the beginning of the 20th century, life expectancy at birth in North America and Western Europe was around 50 years of age. Nowadays, women have gained more than 30 years of age and men are trailing closer. However, according to several scientists and sociologists, such as Louis Chauvel, the notion of a "greying society" is not entirely adequate since aging people are physically and socially younger and more active for a longer time. Of course, the other side of the medal is to tackle the challenge of preventing age-associated chronic diseases. In this book the extensive field of research on neuroendocrine aging has been reviewed, including data from molecular biology and on simple organisms as well as on the hormonal substitution strategies in humans. Aging is one of the most complex biological processes determined by the interactions between genetic and environmental factors.
Cancer Biomarkers
This unique synthesis of chapters from top experts in their fields targets the essential area of cancer biomarkers and the need for better and more rigorous design and clinical trials. The contributors cover several aspects of cancer molecular markers from innovation and screening to their controversies and future directions. The book is an ideal r
