  • Early Detection of Prostate Cancer, An Issue of Urologic Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-2
    • Stacy Loeb
    • English
    PSA screening remains highly controversial due to several important disadvantages. More PSA is produced with prostatic enlargement and in other benign conditions such as urinary tract infections. False positive tests can then lead to unnecessary diagnostic workup with invasive prostate biopsy. Another major problem with screening programs in general is overdiagnosis of cancers that would not have caused harm during the patient's lifetime. For example, many prostate cancers have a relatively indolent behavior so may not require diagnosis or treatment in a patient with limited life expectancy. All forms of prostate cancer treatment have potential urinary and sexual side effects, so reducing overdiagnosis and overtreatment are critical public health issues. Because screening has many proven benefits but also significant harms, there are widely disparate guidelines on prostate cancer screening from major organizations worldwide. This issue of the Urologic Clinics will provide insights into the many different prostate cancer guidelines and related policy issues.

  • Current Management of Male Infertility, An Issue of Urologic Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-1
    • Craig S Niederberger
    • English
    The fastest evolving field in urology is certainly male reproductive medicine and surgery. Getting sperm and egg together is beyond what science fiction could have imagined only a few decades ago. Such remarkable progress created a whole host of issues including epidemiologic, surgical, medical, and societal. The authors contributing to this issue were asked to consider their topics today and a couple of decades into the future. As the foundations of reproductive genetics and the male endocrine system undergird all, they are explored in depth. Common conditions such as infection and inflammation, the ever problematic varicocele, and ejaculatory dysfunction are thoughtfully reviewed. The key to the modern management of male infertility, the evaluation and treatment of azoospermia whether it is due to obstruction or spermatogenic dysfunction, is discussed in detail. For the practicing urologist, the nuts and bolts of the infertility office visit, semen analysis and processing, and contraception are reviewed. With increasing public interest, nutraceuticals, lifestyle, and the environment's impact on male reproductive health are examined. And to put male reproductive dysfunction and its treatment in the broadest context, male reproductive epidemiology and reproductive health care delivery are explored. All of these topics are covered by leaders in male reproductive medical thought and practice.

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 36-3
    • Jay I. Sandlow + 1 more
    • English
    In spite of the fact that vasectomy is currently the most commonly utilized form of male contraception and it has been in use for more than 50 years, very little has been written regarding standards of practice, procedure, and follow up. This issue addresses these issues in such a way to allow the reader to evaluate what works best for their individual practice utilizing evidence-based medicine when it exists. It is not surprising in a society with a divorce rate of aproximately 50 % and an excess of 500,000 vasectomies per annum, that there is demand for vasectomy reversal. Approximately 6% of vasectomies are reversed. Although the most common indication for vasectomy reversal is remarriage, there are other indications. This issue addresses issues that are of concern when reversal is discussed with the patient seeking to restore his fertility.

    Manuel d'épuration extrarénale en réanimation est focalisé sur le circuit extracorporel le plus couramment utilisé en réanimation. Associant une approche très pratique des techniques d'épuration extrarénale aux aspects nouveaux et aux perspectives dans ce domaine, il propose un condensé des données essentielles, sous forme de fiches techniques : – Quand débuter une épuration extrarénale ? – Quel cathéter choisir ? – Anticoagulation en épuration extrarénale – Choix d'une membrane de dialyse – Principes des échanges – Dose de dialyse – Prescription d'une séance d'hémodialyse intermittente – Nouveautés dans la surveillance d'une séance de dialyse – Aspects pratiques d'une hémofiltration continue – Dialyse lente quotidienne – Hémofiltration à haut volume – Utilisation des médicaments – Nutrition artificielle et épuration extrarénale – Problèmes au cours d'une séance d'hémodialyse intermitente – Problèmes pratiques en hémofiltration – Qualité de l'eau et entretien des générateurs de la dialyse dans les services de réanimation Tous les aspects relatifs aux deux techniques d'épuration extrarénale, l'hémodialyse et l'hémofiltration continue, sont ici abordés, complétés par des informations et « conduites à tenir » concernant les aspects plus problématiques de la prise en charge du patient. Accessible et très clinique, ce manuel sera le complément indispensable de l'ouvrage Les circulations extracorporelles en réanimation, paru en 2006 dans la collection Réanimation, et accompagnera chaque praticien dans son exercice, au plus près du malade.
