    • English
    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.

    • English
    Biopolymer-Based Therapeutics for Inflammation Modulation in Wound Care presents a comprehensive, biomarker-driven exploration of how natural and engineered biopolymers are transforming the management of acute, chronic, and non-healing wounds. Positioned at the intersection of biomaterials science, pharmaceutical innovation, and clinical practice, the book addresses one of the central challenges in wound care: persistent inflammation that delays tissue repair and regeneration. Beginning with the biological and clinical foundations of wound healing, the book systematically examines inflammatory pathways and key biomarkers such as TNF-α, IL-6, ROS, and VEGF.It then advances into in-depth coverage of natural biopolymers—includin... collagen, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, silk-derived polymers, and marine polysaccharides—and their roles in immune modulation, macrophage polarization, and redox balance. Dedicated sections explore advanced delivery platforms such as nanofibers, smart hydrogels, nanozymes, and stimuli-responsive dressings, alongside emerging precision technologies including 3D printing and AI-guided material design. With a strong translational focus, the book bridges laboratory research and real-world application, addressing regulatory pathways, manufacturing scalability, and commercialization challenges.

  • Methods in Stream Ecology

    • English
    Stream and river ecology has been an exceptionally vibrant and rapidly evolving science since the first edition of Methods in Stream Ecology was published in 1996. The second and third editions have then grown with the science and have directly influenced and assisted in the development of stream ecology as a major scientific discipline. Each chapter that has carried over into the new edition has been updated significantly according to new knowledge. Methods in Stream Ecology, 4th edition, contains new chapters as novel methods and molecular techniques have developed to expand on new research questions and ideas, while some chapters from the previous editions were eliminated or combined to reflect current trends. This new edition provides updated information on streams and rivers as dynamic features of the landscape and vital to sustaining biodiversity and human well-being. Methods in Stream Ecology, 4th edition, is integral to propelling stream and river ecology forward over the next several decades and continuing to provide essential guidance to students, teachers, and aquatic ecologists by offering state-of-the-art teaching and research resources.
