Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder, Second Edition covers all aspects of the neurogenic bladder from aetiology and pathophysiology to diagnosis and treatment of all associated problems. This evidence-based text is an essential reference source for residents, physicians, and healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of neurogenic bladder patients.

With over 300 superbly illustrated images that clarify the differing states of neurogenic bladder dysfunction, this one-stop resource expands on the strong reputation of the first edition to highlight the new diagnostic techniques that have emerged to complement traditional management. These major advances range from non-surgical, electrical, and surgical treatments to neurostimulation and tissue engineering.

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of interstitial cystitis (IC) and painful bladder syndrome (PBS). In neurogenic bladder, damage to the nerves that go to the bladder can cause it to release urine when you do not intend to urinate, resulting in leakage. Or damage to nerves may prevent the bladder from releasing urine properly and it may be forced back into the kidneys, causing kidney damage or urinary tract infections. Neurogenic bladder can be caused by diabetes or other diseases, accidents that damage the nerves, or infections. Symptoms of neurogenic bladder include urinary tract infections and loss of the urge to urinate when the bladder is full.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value!
