Chronic Prostatitis is a common and debilitating condition affecting 5-12% of men worldwide. The most common form is category III, or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. Cutting-edge clinical research has led to advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis, a group of conditions that is at once extremely common, poorly understood, inadequately treated and under-researched. In Chronic Prostatitis / Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome, the author provides today’s most current information covering the four categories of prostatitis (acute, chronic bacterial, CPPS and asymptomatic inflammation). A diverse international group of contributors that includes Urologists (academic, primary care and front line private practice), scientists, psychologists, and pain specialists from the National Institutes of Health provide the reader with novel approaches to helping their patients. The chapters in this important new work cover general evaluation of the prostatitis patient, the approach to acute prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, evidence behind individual therapies and ancillary topics such as erectile dysfunction, infertility, the link between chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer, male interstitial cystitis and the potential etiologic role of calcifying nanoparticles. Chronic Prostatitis / Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome offers novel approaches to diagnosing this condition as well as providing ways in which to ease the suffering of the patient with prostatitis.

The principal role of the diagnostic surgical pathologist is to serve a patient by assisting the clinician in charge of the patient's care. In that capacity,the pathologist provides the vital informationthat should be directly and indirectly useful in guiding the clinician toward the most appropriate therapy. The material pathologists receive most commonly is a biopsy or a part of an organ removed after a definitive pro- dure. To extract useful information, pathological evaluation proceeds according to a set of guidelines. Simply reporting a diagnosis of cancer is inadequate. Detailed additional information is needed so that the clinician can go on to establish a the- peutic plan as needed. To best serve the patient, close interaction between the cli- cian and the pathologist is vital. In the field of urological pathology, there are problems specific to this system. Typically, in the prostate, because of its location, there is little room for a surgeon to work to obtain adequate resection margins, unlike with many other organs. As a result, questions arise such as "What constitutes an adequate surgical margin?" "What is the significance of extraprostatic extension of neoplasm that is still inside the resection margin?" and "What is the significance of neoplastic glands found on the resection margin marked with the ink?" It has been shown that a prostate needle core biopsy can generate much information that is immediately useful in predicting the extent of cancer in the prostate and, consequently, the outcome for the patient.

Esiste un crescente interesse per l’imaging integrato dell’apparato urogenitale, strettamente legato allo sviluppo tecnologico delle apparecchiature di ecografia, tomografia computerizzata, risonanza magnetica e medicina nucleare con conseguente notevole miglioramento della qualità delle immagini e, quindi, dei risultati diagnostici e clinici. L’opera è suddivisa in nove parti e tratta nei primi sei capitoli l’anatomia normale macroscopica e radiologica, per considerare poi le singole patologie di tipo malformativo, litiasico, infiammatorio e neoplastico. Di ognuna di esse sono descritti gli aspetti anatomopatologici, clinici e di diagnosi, strumentale e non; in particolare, in ambito oncologico è trattata la problematica del tumore primitivo e della recidiva. Una sezione è dedicata alla statica e dinamica del pavimento pelvico. Conclude la trattazione una parte rivolta alla radiologia interventistica. Il volume risalta nel panorama della letteratura attuale per la ricchissima iconografia, costituita da disegni anatomici e moltissime immagini (oltre 1000) con dettagliate didascalie che permettono di comprendere come l’imaging possa guidare il clinico nelle scelte terapeutiche. Diagnostica per immagini dell’apparato urogenitale si propone come testo di aggiornamento ed approfondimento indirizzato principalmente a radiologi, urologi, ginecologi e oncologi ma rappresenta, senza dubbio, un prezioso strumento anche per i medici di medicina generale: in un unico compendio è offerto un approccio ragionato che, integrando le vecchie e nuove conoscenze, secondo i più attuali algoritmi diagnostici, consiglia la scelta della tecnica e metodica più idonea alla diagnosi.

The subspecialty of genitourinary or pelvic pain suffers from the lack of objective data and level-1 evidence. Genitourinary Pain and Inflammation: Diagnosis and Management of GU-ITIS is a compilation of skilled creativity based upon critical review of the literature, consensus reports, and professional experiences. It includes detailed chapters that address iatrogenic causes of GU inflammation, caused by catheters, prosthetics, radiation, or chemotherapy. Chapters in Genitourinary Pain and Inflammation: Diagnosis and Management of GU-ITIS also discuss pain syndromes specific to the pelvic floor and the genitourinary system from several perspectives. Experts in the urological and gastrointestinal fields provide the specifics for gaining the basic understanding of inflammation and pains caused by infectious etiologies.
