Urine Proteomics in Kidney Disease Biomarker Discovery
by Youhe GaoThis book systematically summarizes the ideas and technologies used in urine proteome analysis. It argues that change is the core of biomarker definition since the body uses its homeostatic mechanisms to correct changes in the blood. This means that urine is probably a better source of biomarkers than blood. A roadmap to the urinary biomarker era is proposed, and researchers are reminded of the potential opportunities and risks in their study design. Kidney diseases are emphasized as they produce the most significant changes in urine. This book tries to show researchers and graduate students, who are in or entering the field, "all things considered" rather than "the current affair".
Urine Sediment

The book is also designed to aid the identification of rare urine constituents in their native state without prior staining. It also features guidance on how set-up a microscope , microscopy techniques, and preanalytics. Exercises focused on microscopic analysis and diagnosis and a urinary sediment quiz reinforce key concepts to aid learning. Urine Sediment provides a practically applicable guide to the recognition of urinary sediment constituents. It is therefore a critical resource for trainees and experienced practitioners in urology, nephrology, gynecology and general practice who need to be able to accurately and quickly identify urine sediment constituents.

Urine: Promising Biomarker Source for Early Disease Detection
by Youhe GaoThis book demonstrates the potential of urine as a biomarker resource for early disease detection, covering the related theory, strategies, tools and findings. Biomarker is measurable changes associated with the disease. Blood, as a critical part of the internal environment, is closely monitored and controlled by the body to maintain homeostasis, especially in the early stages of diseases. In contrast, urine, as a form of waste excreted by the body, accumulates early and small changes of the body without homeostatic control. Accordingly, urine can offer an ideal resource for early biomarker discovery. The book discusses exciting preliminary applications of urine biomarkers for diseases affecting major biological systems. It is useful for scientists, clinicians, venture capitalists of related field. In the 2nd edition, most of the chapters are updated and reorganized according to the latest research. Many new chapters have been added to supplement the discussion of this area.

Biomarkers are measurable changes associated with diseases. Blood, as a critical part of its internal environment, is closely monitored and controlled by the body to maintain homeostasis, especially in the early stages of diseases. In contrast, urine, as a form of waste excreted by the body, collects a variety of substance changes. Accordingly, urine can offer an ideal resource for early biomarker discovery. In addition, urine is more stable than blood in vitro, and is easy to store and analyze. The book discusses exciting preliminary applications of urine biomarkers for diseases affecting major biological systems. Its main goal is to make scientists, clinicians and medical companies aware of this important, exciting, undeveloped, and profitable field.

Urodinâmica e Incontinência Urinária na Prática Clínica
by Ana Dias Jorge Clavijo EiseleA incontinência urinária (IU) é um sintoma comum que se apresenta em diferentes doenças e afeta todos os grupos populacionais, etários e ambos os sexos, apesar de ser mais frequente na mulher do que no homem. É uma patologia importante devido à sua frequência, gravidade, conotações psicológicas, sociais e económicas. Uma em cada 30 pessoas sofre de incontinência. Mulheres, idosos, crianças e doentes neurológicos apresentam um problema médico e social objetivo e também danos psicológicos subjetivos. Será que já existe uma solução para a incontinência? Podemos apresentar soluções definitivas em muitos casos, seja através da medicação ou através de soluções cirúrgicas e tratamentos paliativos que impeçam os doentes de se isolarem. Tentamos fazer com que os doentes que sofram de incontinência urinária sejam corresponsáveis pelo seu próprio tratamento, e sejam ativos relativamente aos seus cuidados. O que é conseguido através das informações e formações sobre a incontinência urinária do doente, e de todos os responsáveis pela sua saúde incluindo: assistentes sociais, auxiliares de enfermagem, enfermeiros, médicos e todos os que estiverem envolvidos nos cuidados da pessoa que sofre de incontinência.

Urodynamics for Urogynecologists: A Pocket Guide for Clinical Practice
by Giancarlo VignoliThis book offers gynecologists and urogynecologists a pocket guide to urodynamic testing in women with lower urinary tract symptoms. In female urology, the main indications for urodynamics are urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, urgency-frequency syndrome (also known as overactive bladder), emptying disorders and painful bladder. By collecting quantitative measurements while reproducing the patient’s voiding symptoms where appropriate and possible, urodynamics helps to identify the cause of symptoms, supports management and facilitates prognoses. However, despite the undeniable advantages, the role of urodynamics in female urology is hotly debated. The book starts by describing the physiological background and methodological considerations for urodynamic best practice in the preclinical setting. It then explains how to perform urodynamics correctly – so-called “good urodynamic practice” – to increase the readers’ confidence and ability to perform and interpret urodynamic investigations. Lastly, it reviews the advantages and disadvantages of urodynamic testing in each of the key clinical female urology conditions. A separate chapter focuses on the peculiarities of diagnosis and management for female patients with neurogenic bladder. This guide offers a valuable tool for gynecologists, urologists and urogynecologists, as well as a ready source of information for all physicians involved in diagnosing and treating lower urinary tract disorders in women.
