Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is currently the principal cause of obstructive uropathy in the elder male population, a condition that will continue to rise due to longer life expectancies. If current trends continue, it is estimated that about 20-25% of males will require some procedure for the relief of bladder outlet obstruction at some point in their lives. This book provides concise assessment and screening criteria and modalities used for the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia; a historic and current overview of the different experiences with balloon dilatation of the prostatic urethra as well as its mechanism of action, which although a relatively new procedure, has now been utilized experimentally by many investigators; and a detailed review of the latest trends in the non-surgical attempts to manage or alternatively treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. All of the contributors to this book have been pioneers in their respective specialties, in which they have gathered worldwide recognition. ... Read more

For many years, patients who complained of prostatism had only a few treatment choices. The patient was either a candidate for an elective prostatectomy, or the operation was deferred until the patient became more symptomatic. The present text summarizes the multiple options which have become available to the practicing urologist. Minimally invasive techniques such as transurethral incision of the prostate, balloon dilatation, hyperthermia, laser therapy, and prostatic stents are described. Medical treatment with alpha-blockers, 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, and flutamide are addressed by authors who have had extensive clinical experience with the use of these agents. ... Read more
