Beskrivning

Urinary Incontinence: Integrating Science and Clinical Practice succinctly describes the importance of lower urinary tract physiology to all for an understanding of urinary incontinence and its clinical treatment. World-leading contributors describe the key influences on mechanisms and therapies for proper understanding of the scientific basis of incontinence.

The first part of the book is dedicated to System Physiology: Function and Adaptation. In this section, an anatomical sequence is followed for presenting the chapters, moving from the lower urinary tract organs upwards through the spinal centers to the brain. These chapters discuss what is known and unknown for crucial areas, such as neurological control and co-ordination, bladder fibrosis, bladder physiology and more.

The second part is dedicated to Incontinence: Mechanism and Therapy. In this clinical application section, chapters derive from the clinical classification of incontinence and explore topics such as the role of urodynamics; mechanisms underpinning medical and interventional treatments; the sensations arising from the lower urinary tract; adverse effects of therapy and the considerable faced in managing incontinence.

Written for researchers and clinicians, this book is a welcomed resource for those aiming to understand more about urinary incontinence.

Offers comprehensive coverage of the key influences on mechanisms and therapies within urinary incontinence
Explores topics such as normal function, sensations arising from LUT, and types of urinary incontinence
Provides insights into what urodynamics can tell us about the clinical problems of individual patients
Investigates the principles of conservative, medical and interventional treatment

Mer om författaren

Marcus Drake is Professor of Neurological Urology at Imperial College London, and Honorary Consultant Urologist at Charing Cross Hospital. Dr. Drake has clinical and research interests in urodynamics, neuro-urology, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and lower urinary tract physiology. He was Chief Investigator of several major National Institute of Health Research studies, including UPSTREAM, which clarified the role of urodynamics for assessing men with voiding LUTS; TRIUMPH, which showed the value of conservative management of male LUTS; and PLANET which reviewed the wide range of medical causes of nocturia. Dr. Drake is currently helping lead the PREMISE study on minimally invasive surgery of the prostate. He was a Trustee of the International Continence Society for nine years, and chair of their Standardisation Steering Committee for six years. He was a member of two European Association of Urology Guidelines committees- Male LUTS and Female Incontinence. Dr. Bahareh Vahabi is Senior Lecturer in Physiology at The University of West England, specializing in benign lower urinary tract disorders. An experienced academic and educator, Dr. Vahabi has received recognition for her teaching excellence, including a Postgraduate Teaching Certificate with distinction and Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy. She also plays a pivotal role in fostering international collaborations and partnerships in her role as International Partnership Lead for the School of Applied Sciences. Dr. Mathijs de Rijk is a dedicated researcher specializing in the intersection of neuroscience and urology at Maastricht University. With interest in understanding the complexities of neural mechanisms and their implications for urological health, Dr. de Rijk has contributed significantly to the field through innovative research and collaboration.
