Urologi

Urologi är ett svenskt standardverk inom urologiområdet och syftar till att systematiskt täcka in hela specialiteten. I denna upplaga av boken har innehållet genomgått en omfattande revidering och flera nya kapitel har tillkommit. För att öka överblickbarheten har kapitlen delats in i fyra delar. Den första delen omfattar en grundläggande presentation av anatomi, fysiologi och olika diagnostiska modaliteter vid misstänkt urologisk sjukdom; här finns också ett nytt kapitel om hematuri hos vuxna. Kapitlet om uroradiologi är en uppdaterad och modifierad version av ett kapitel som tidigare publicerats i boken Radiologi. Den andra delen fokuserar på urologiska cancer­sjukdomar, medan den tredje delen behandlar icke-maligna sjukdoms­tillstånd inom urologi, såsom njursten, godartad prostataförstoring och infektioner i urin­vägarna. Den fjärde delen behandlar traumatologi och barnurologi samt innehåller ett nytt kapitel om särskilda omständigheter inom urologin.Urologi vänder sig till AT-, BT- och ST-läkare, inte bara blivande urologer utan även blivande kirurger, gynekologer och allmän­medicinare. Boken fyller också väl sin plats som referenslitteratur på kirurg-, medicin- och distriktsläkarmottagningar. Utöver detta ska den även kunna användas som kurslitteratur under grund­utbildningen.

The first edition of The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology introduced a completely new paradigm for detecting bladder cancer by urine cytology.

Andrologi är den vetenskapsgren inom medicinen som ägnar sig åt de manliga reproduktionsorganens funktion under fysiologiska och patologiska förhållanden. I vid mening handlar den kliniska andrologin om sjukdomar i de manliga könsorganen, i praktisk mening innefattar den sjukdomar som berör mannens reproduktionsfunktion.Andrologi är i dag ingen egen medicinsk specialitet i Sverige och de flesta europeiska länder. Det kliniska patientarbetet handläggs av olika specialister: urologer, endokrinologer, gynekologer och dermatologer. Sjukdomar i det manliga reproduktionssystemet är vanliga och representerar en stor somatisk och ofta även psykologisk påfrestning för patienten. Dessutom är några av de vanliga andrologiska störningarna tidiga varsel om allvarliga metabola och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar. Det finns därför ett stort behov att förbättra det andrologiska omhändertagandet och öka kompetensen inom sjukvården.I Andrologi har biologiska basfakta fått en framträdande plats, men även psykologiska faktorer har getts utrymme med syfte att ge en helhetssyn på mannens könsspecifika organfunktioner, uttryckssätt och sjukdomar. Boken syftar till att ge en bred bild av ämnet. Den vänder sig till allmänläkare och vårdutbildningar samt till läkare inom olika specialiteter med intresse för mannens reproduktionsstörningar i vid mening.

This book is partly based on research funded by Wereld Kanker Onderzoek Fonds based in the Netherlands and administered by the World Cancer Research Fund International grant program.

Every year half a million of people worldwide are diagnosed with bladder cancer. With the recent zeitgeist of the self-empowered, intelligent patient who wishes to be well-informed, many cancer patients do not solely want to rely on decisions taken by medical practitioners, but actively participate in the journey from sickness to health or disease. While no books about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer currently exist, the poor quality of the existing information about the relationship between diet and health is shocking. Much of the information is exaggerated, not evidence-based, misleading and sometimes even incorrect. Dr. Maurice Zeegers, one of the world leading bladder cancer epidemiologists, and his co-authors set the record straight with this book on Diet and Fighting Bladder Cancer. Their aim is to provide purely evidence-based information about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer. The primary audience is bladder cancer patients who wish to be well-informed, although clinicians and healthcare workers may also find the book an interesting read. The book gives an honest reflection on what scientists know, but also what they don't yet know about how diet contributes to all stages of this important disease. Although science-based, the book is written in an easy-to-read format, illustrated with practical recipes.

Presents purely evidence-based information about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer Provides patients, clinicians and healthcare workers with trusty and up-to-date scientific information Written by one of the world leading bladder cancer epidemiologists Explained in an easy-to-read format, accessible to not only specialists but non-specialists as well Illustrated with tasty and practical recipes
