Sexuality is an integral part of gender identity, self-image, and overall well-being. Sexual problems have a high prevalence in the general population and also among patients with mental disorders. Clinical Manual of Sexual Disorders is the first comprehensive text in decades to address the management and treatment of sexual dysfunctions. Using a conceptual model that incorporates biological, psychological, and cultural interventions as its guiding principle, the book explores and evaluates the many facets of sexual dysfunction. Written by 25 contributing clinical specialists from around the world, the text combines conceptual shifts within the field of human sexuality with the latest research findings into a practical three-part volume.
Urolithiasis, or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of men at some point, and these statistics are rising. Furthermore, for those who form a stone, the likelihood of a recurrence is nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore, the need for effective, minimally invasive alternatives for stone eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease comprises a large part of any urologist’s practice, a thorough knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease is critical in order to understand and implement treatment strategies to prevent stone formation.

It is our hope that the techniques described herein will be a good start toward that endeavor.
Urologic cancer has become a major public health problem in the United States: an estimated 42% of all new cancers in men and 16% of cancer deaths in men are a result of urologic cancers. Although less common in women, bladder and kidney cancer still rank among significant causes of morbidity and mortality. The impact of urologic cancers on the population and the far-reaching advances in urologic oncology have provided the impetus for this new textbook, which covers all aspects of urologic oncology in a concise yet focused fashion.
The EAU Guidelines Office has been overseeing the production of guidelines and clinical practice recommendations for a number of years now. At the outset of this project it was stated that the purpose of these texts is not to be proscriptive in the way a clinician should treat a patient, but rather to provide access to the best contemporaneous consensus view on the most appropriate management currently available. This still applies and the EAU guidelines are not meant to be law texts but are produced with the ultimate aim to help urologists with their day-to-day practice.

En el Manual CTO, desde sus primeras ediciones se ha buscado un enfoque de las materias práctico y pedagógico, huyendo de los formatos con un exceso de texto y escasos recursos gráficos a los que estamos demasiado acostumbrados en el contexto de los tratados de Medicina. En esta edición se ha cuidado particularmente este aspecto para conseguir un texto en el que cada patología esté ilustrada por tablas, esquemas e ilustraciones que hagan sencillo el estudio y la memorización de una materia extensa. El resultado es un libro sencillo de manejar.
