Recent developments in recombinant DNA technology have led to the
large-scale production of human erythropoietin and to the
demonstration that it is effective in the treatment of renal and
possibly some other anaemias. This has lent a new impetus to
studies of the pathophysiology and pharmacology of the hormone
which is reflected in this report of the proceedings of a meeting
held in Liibeck in June 1988. In 15 papers, all from European
centres, the broad topics covered are erythropoietin's physiology
and chemistry, the patho- physiology of erythropoiesis and the use
of erythropoietin in the treatment of anaemia. Several of the
papers include up-to-date reviews of the literature. The field is
now expanding rapidly, and this volume, though not comprehensive,
usefully points up many areas of recent understanding as well as
others of continuing un- certainty. Overall, it contains material
likely to be of interest to biochemists and experimental
haematologists as well as to phar- macologists, clinical
haematologists and nephrologists.
Benign prostate syndrome (BPS) affects more than half of all men
over the age of 50. It is often suppressed for a long time,
especially because the corresponding examinations are shied away
from. Therapy is varied, and many treatment options have been added
in recent years that can help improve symptoms. These options
advertise themselves primarily as avoiding the dreaded side effects
of surgery: Incontinence, impotence and loss of ejaculation.This
book provides an overview of all currently available treatment
options for BPH and targeted diagnostics. Under the leadership of
the renowned editors, many experts have compiled their knowledge in
this practical book. Differential diagnostics with imaging and
urodynamics are explained, and the many ways of therapy from
watchful waiting to drug therapy to surgery are discussed and the
advantages and disadvantages pointed out. A separate chapter is
devoted to prevention. In addition, myths that still prevail in
many places as "expert opinion" are discussed. Â A practical
book for every urologist!
