Die Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Urologie (DGU) kann seit dem Jahr 2006 auf eine 100-jahrige Geschichte zuruckblicken. Dieses Jubilaum war Anlass, das vorliegende Buch zu schreiben. Die Autoren sind Urologen, die einerseits die Faszination fur Ihr Fachgebiet beschreiben, auf der anderen Seite aber auch versuchen, die notwendige kritische Distanz zu wahren. Der Bogen spannt sich von den Anfangsjahren der DGU uber die Entstehung und Weiterentwicklung diagnostischer und therapeutischer Verfahren bis hin zur Reflektion uber die Kommunikation zwischen Arzt und Urologen. Ein reichhaltiges Bildmaterial rundet diese historische Darstellung ab."

Der chronische Beckenbodenschmerz ist eine Erkrankung, die -- obwohl weit verbreitet -- als Entitat nur selten wahrgenommen wird. Viele Fachgebiete reklamieren das Recht fur sich, dieses Krankheitsbild behandeln zu konnen -- oder besser, den Teilaspekt, der in ihr Gebiet passt.

The estimated prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) ranges from 15 - 50 million men in the United States alone, with all age groups of men affected. Despite still-existing taboos surrounding male impotence, more men are seeking help and treatment with the advent of newer treatment options in recent years, most notably oral PDE-5 inhibitors that shed light on the primary vascular cause and treatment target in most cases. In the majority of men, ED has a physical cause and can be effectively treated. Increased knowledge of cause and treatment options, however, requires clinicians to become acquainted with side effects of drugs, alternative treatments, new research in the field, and potential disease conditions that might co-exist with ED. Part of the Oxford American Urology Library, this practical manual illuminates the pathophysiology of erectile dysfunction and approaches to diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic options, including specifics of ED in men with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. All currently available treatment options from prostaglandins to vacuum devices, PDE-5 inhibitors, and interventional and surgical therapies are described for their efficacy and safety based on the published literature and ongoing research trials.

The European Workshop on Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology of the Testis was organized for the first time at Geilo, Norway, 8-11 April 1980. Since then, these meetings have been held in Holland, France, Italy, England, Sweden/Finland (Aland), Germany, and Bel- gium. This year the circle has been closed: The 9th European Testis Workshop is back in the Norwegian mountains where it all started. The Scientific Committee of the First European Testis Workshop included Dr. H.J. van der Molen (Rotterdam), Dr. V. Hansson (Oslo), Dr. B. Cooke (London), Dr. V. Monesi (Rome), Dr. E.M. Ritzen (Stockholm), and Dr. J.M. Saez (Paris). Since then, two of the founders have left the Scientific Committee. Dr. Monesi died suddenly on 29 December 1979, 3 1/2 months before the first workshop took place. Thus, in spite of being one of the founders, he never experienced a Eu- ropean Testis Workshop. Dr. Mario Stefanini, from the same research institute in Rome, replaced Dr. Monesi on the Scientific Committee. Another founder of this workshop series, Dr. H.J. van der Molen (Rot- terdam), is one of the pioneers in research on molecular endocrinology of the testis in Europe. He left the Scientific Committee due to a change in his scientific career and was replaced by Dr. F.F.G. Rom- merts, whose lectures on "Testomania" have been a characteristic fea- ture of these meetings.
