Central to the concept of this second edition is the idea that environmental systems are complex, open systems. The authors present the diversity of approaches to dealing with environmental complexity and then encourage readers to make comparisons between these approaches and between different disciplines.

In choosing appropriate treatment, clinicians must take into account not only the nature and severity of symptoms but also the preferences of the patient and his immediate family, cost–benefit considerations and long-term effectiveness of therapy. Written by two leading urologists, 'Fast Facts: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia' provides a refreshingly readable, practical overview of the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of BPH including: • Use of DRE and PSA results to discriminate between prostate cancer and BPH • An evidence-based review of the latest medical therapies • A concise overview of the surgical and minimally invasive treatment options • When to refer to a urologist There is important work to do to raise awareness of men’s health issues in general and the problem of BPH in particular. Lower urinary tract symptoms are among the commonest reasons for a man to consult his doctor, and this ever-popular book – the first 7th edition in the Fast Facts series – remains a must-read for all primary care providers. Contents: • Pathophysiology • Diagnosis • Medical management • Traditional surgical treatment options • Minimally invasive treatment options • Considerations in treatment decisions • Issues in BPH • Useful resourcesFast facts.Benign prostatic hyperplasiaBenign prostatic hyperplasia.Kirby Roger J899953Gilling Peter J899954MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781950603321Fast facts2010792UNINA00994nam0 22002891i 450 UON0023170720231205103505.624IT224633431420030730d1985 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| |||||ˆLes ‰ cinq sensMichel SerresParisBernard Grasset1985383 p.23 cm.CorpoFilosofiaUONC051241FISENSI FILOSOFIAUONC051240FIFRParisUONL002984128.2Il genere umano.
