Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. Testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females although small amounts are secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In both males and females, it plays key roles in health and well-being. Examples include enhanced libido, energy, immune function, and protection against osteoporosis. On average, the adult male body produces about twenty times the amount of testosterone that an adult female's body does. This book presents new and important research in this field from around the world.

It explains topics that clinicians regularly encounter such as whether to use free or total testosterone in the evaluation of the patient with testosterone deficiency; what factors actually impact testosterone levels, polycythemia, gynecomastia, bone density, and hyperprolactinemia in the testosterone deficient patient; critical analysis of the numerous questionnaires that are available to clinicians; and the impact of testosterone therapy on male fertility, cardiovascular disease, and prostate events including prostate cancer.

When Johnny Lancaster comes into Bonney's Place, he hopes to find answers. Somebody stole a sum of money from his father and he wants retribution. At least, he wants the money back. It's his inheritance. And it surely looks as though the person doing the stealing was Bonney McCamey himself, except Bonney's not the type of person to steal from an old man, is he? Johnny decides to hang around awhile and find out. What Johnny discovers--along with the limits of his personal endurance--is that passing judgment is a perilous endeavor. This Texas tavern and the unforgettable characters for whom it provides recreation and, in some cases a reason for living, reflect a far more complex reality than Johnny had anticipated. And in the person of Bonney himself, Johnny finds a man who is more than capable of stretching small truths and shading small sins, in order to prevent a larger miscarriage of justice. This classic novel immerses the reader in a richly layered and vivid assemblage of rural Texas characters such as Rose- Mama, Turnip, Slat, Samuel Wilkerson Hobbs, Jr., and, of course, Bonney himself. Often hilariously funny, Bonney's Place is a world of obvious weaknesses, enduring strengths, and the many small exaltations of life.
The evolution of the classification of neoplasms of the urinary passages has changed greatly since Friedman and Ash published the first series AFIP fascicle on the urinary bladder in 1959. In their classification, there were four variants of urothelial neoplasia, some adenomas, adenocarcinoma, and smooth muscle and lymphoid tumors. Today the classification continues to accrue entities based upon morphology, immunophenotype, and compelling clinical associations. The classification of renal cell carcinomas has undergone a profound transformation, with the emergence of many new entities, often with characteristic genetic alterations, with significant implications for prognosis and treatment. This comprehensive, detailed, and highly illustrated fascicle is a remarkable resource to surgical pathologists and other specialists who treat patients with tumors of these sites.

Medizinische Prozeduren sind fur Patienten haufig mit Angst und Stress und deren negativen Folgen verbunden. Medikamentoese Gegenmassnahmen erweisen sich hier nur in begrenztem Masse als zielfuhrend. Allerdings gibt es nichtmedikamentoese Moeglichkeiten, die die herkoemmlichen Massnahmen sinnvoll erganzen koennen und unter dem Projekttitel "Angstfreier Operationssaal (AFRO)" zusammengefasst werden. Hierzu zahlen individuelle audiovisuelle, olfaktorische und taktile Angebote ebenso wie eine spezielle bauliche Gestaltung der Raumlichkeiten. Auf dieser Basis koennen zudem auch Beitrage zur Arbeitssicherheit und -zufriedenheit des Personals geleistet werden. Auf die Dauer ist zu erwarten, dass eine angemessene Berucksichtigung der psychischen Aspekte medizinischer Behandlungen nicht zuletzt zum wirtschaftlichen Erfolg einer medizinischen Einrichtung beitragt. |
