      Scientific Advances in Reconstructive Urology and Tissue Engineering is a comprehensive overview of reconstructive urology that spans male and female, pediatric, neuro-urology and trauma. Traditionally, this field has been focused solely on surgical principles with little attention to basic and translational research. However, recent advances in acellular matrices, scaffolds, stem cells and tissue engineering have changed this focus. This publication is the perfect bridge and definitive tome of the advances that will move the translational and basic science of reconstructive urology forward and allow readers to implement the findings in clinical practice. Through the use of both current case studies and future implications, the content bridges the gap from bench to bedside making it the perfect reference for translational benign urology researchers who wish to move the field of reconstructive surgery forward.

      Healthcare Strategies and Planning for Social Inclusion and Development: Volume Two: Social, Economic, and Health Disparities of Rural Women examines rural women, particularly in developing countries, and how social and economic constraints they experience impact their ability to advocate for their own health and impede their access to healthcare. This volume discusses the economic and social barriers rural women confront in exercising their right to health care. It explains how geographical isolation, economic instability, healthcare provider shortages, lack of appropriate funding, resource limitations, and lack of health education are just few factors that make rural health care difficult. The book also covers the impact of social isolation on the health needs of rural women which include chronic diseases, mental health, and OB/GYN services as well as how the lack of opportunities for formal education restrict rural women from working outside the household. This volume will be a useful resource to graduate students in public and global health, public health professionals, health and social work researchers, and health policymakers interested in women’s health, especially in developing countries.
