This book summarises the entire field of adult neuro-urology in a concise, well-illustrated, and practical style. Contents include epidemiology, lower urinary tract anatomy and physiology. This is followed by coverage of the pathophysiology of various types of voiding dysfunctions and a clinical section focusing on practical evaluation and treatment. A range of treatments from behavioral, pharmacological, intra vesical, tissue engineering and surgical are explained and reviewed. Other topics such as complications, sexual function, fertility, maternity aspects, and prognostic factors round off the book. *Each topic is covered in detail and well illustrated. *The reader will gain a full understanding of every aspect of adult neuro-urology. *Facilitates improved clinical knowledge and practice. Provides an essential and complete reference tool for students and established urologists, neurologists, physiotherapists and nurses, and technicians involved in the care of patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Chronic pain places a tremendous burden on both the patient and the healthcare system. The use of opioids to address chronic pain has resulted in negative impacts. As practitioners work to undo the current opioid crisis, a new approach is needed to manage pain. Advanced Therapeutics in Pain Medicine offers pioneering approaches to this intransigent problem, providing a functional medicine approach toward treating pain. This book is dedicated to the advancement of non-opioid therapeutic options that offer real progress in reaching a future of better pain management. With an emphasis on pathophysiology, chapters review various types of pain and propose comprehensive treatment plans. These include manual therapies, novel pharmacologic and plant-based approaches, and hormonal effects on pain pathways, as well as psychological and lifestyle interventions. Features Written by a multi-disciplinary team, the book provides clinicians with multiple non-opioid treatment considerations. Enables practitioners to shift from a \"one-size-fits-all\" treatment approach toward individualized patient care. Includes case studies to help educate the provider on how to implement treatment plans in practice. Written by a team of physicians, pharmacists, psychologists, and researchers, this important book offers a much-needed step forward in optimizing pain care and benefits practitioners who care for patients experiencing chronic pain.

The concept of the 3Rs (Refinement, Reduction and Replacement) has been used as a framework for improving the welfare of laboratory animals for the last half century. By establishing an animal-centric view on housing and management, this book takes Russell and Burch's definition of Refinement as \"elimination of inhumanities\" and goes further. Rather than fitting animals into experimental conditions, it encourages readers to adjust conditions to better meet the behavioral, emotional, physical, and physiological needs and preferences of the animals. The team of expert authors, from the fields of laboratory animal science, ethology, biology as well as animal training, provide ideas for creating housing conditions and handling procedures that induce, to the best of current abilities and knowledge, a long-term positive state of mind in the animals under our care. This book is written for animal caretakers, animal health technicians, researchers, animal facility managers, laboratory animal veterinarians, or anyone who engages in work with living experimental animals or is interested in the continuous improvement of laboratory animal welfare. This interdisciplinary guide will act as a catalyst, resulting in multiple viewpoints and fields collaborating to optimize laboratory animal welfare.
