Book Description

Even though peritoneal dialysis (PD) is by now well established and its advantages in terms of clinical efficacy, social impact and individual tolerance are acknowledged, it is still underutilized on a global scale. In view of this fact, the publication at hand has two objectives, namely to provide help to identify possible obstacles to a wider application of PD and to advance a project called USS PD: Understanding, Starting and Sustaining Peritoneal Dialysis (initiated by the Department of Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation of the St. Bortolo Hospital in Vicenza, Italy). The initial part of this book is thus dedicated to basic principles of PD, as understanding how this technique works is one of the prerequisites to improve the quality of its application and, ultimately, its outcomes. In the second part, in-depth reviews help the physician to identify the benefits and problems involved in a PD program, facilitating the initiation of a new program or the start of new patients on PD. The third part, finally, is dedicated to potential complications and technical solutions designed to solve the problems of the different techniques. This helps physicians to sustain the use of PD after having acquired the know how and the capacity of starting the program. Everyone interested in understanding and implementing PD will highly profit from the papers presented in this publication.

Book Description

Written to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, this beautifully illustrated book traces the history of surgery and the surgical profession from the days of the Worshipful Company of Barber-Surgeons, through the period of the Company of Surgeons, until the Royal College was established in March, 1800. Since then, its commitment has remained to promote the highest surgical standards in the interests of patients.

The development of the College has been inextricably linked to changes in surgical practice. The last 200 years have seen the replacement of brandy and physical restraint by controlled anaesthesia; the introduction of complex methods of investigation such as the MRI scanner; the increasing specialization of surgical practice; and the refinement of procedures to allow minimal tissue damage. A patient in 1800 faced not only the horrors of an operation without an anaesthetic, but also probable death from sepsis. In the next millennium, advances in techniques and the reduced need for major surgery will result in a continued lowering of morbidity and mortality.

The College has been in the vanguard of these developments throughout its history. The book is lavishy illustrated throughout with images drawn from the College collections, including those in the Hunterian Museum with which the College has been entrusted throughout its existence. ‘The Royal College of Surgeons of England’ provides fascinating reading both for the surgical community and others wishing to gain an insight into the workings of a great surgical institution.

Book Description

This book provides practical surgical solutions to congenital or acquired penile anomalies and diseases to the practicing urologist who encounters them in their daily practice. It also discusses the best way to approach these patients, and how best to evaluate them. Starting from surgical anatomy, through to examining the various types of penile abnormalities that can occur, Daniel Yachia gives easy-to-follow practical details on the procedures he performs to ensure successful outcomes, not as in a “cook book” but by presenting the principles of these surgical procedures. The reader therefore, can see the book as surgeon-to-surgeon advice on the best methods of dealing with the problems surgically, and also of sensitively managing the patients concerns and worries.

Book Description

This very practical text covers the anatomy, physiology and the continence mechanism of the male lower urinary tract. The different prostatic conditions are discussed in detail, together with the range of medical and surgical investigations and treatments. The various types of incontinence are explained, and a comprehensive classification of male urinary incontinence tabulated. The subjective and objective physiotherapy assessment is covered chronologically to enable the clinician to conduct a meaningful investigation and arrive at a logical diagnosis. Recommended conservative treatment options are provided for each type of incontinence, with a range of patient advice added for completeness. Two chapters on the etiology and conservative treatment of erectile dysfunction are based on an extensive literature search.

This book is written primarily for those specialist continence physiotherapists who treat female continence problems but who are unsure of the treatment for male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. It will be a useful reference tool for urology nurses, continence specialist nurses and continence advisors; and those medical students, student nurses and physiotherapy students suddenly finding themselves on a urology placement.
