Endocrine Disruption and Human Health starts with an overview of what endocrine disruptors are, the issues surrounding them, and the source of these chemicals in the ecosystem. This is followed by an overview of the mechanisms of action and assay systems. The third section includes chapters written by specialists on different aspects of concern for the effects of endocrine disruption on human health. Finally, the authors consider the risk assessment of endocrine disruptors and the pertinent regulation developed by the EU, the US FDA, as well as REACH and NGOs. The book has been written for researchers and research clinicians interested in learning about the actions of endocrine disruptors and current evidence justifying concerns for human health but is useful for those approaching the subject for the first time, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students.

• Provides readers with access to a range of information from the basic mechanisms and assays to cutting-edge research investigating concerns for human health
• Presents a comprehensive, translational look at all aspects of endocrine disruption and its effects on human health
• Offers guidance on the risk assessment of endocrine disruptors and current relevant regulatory considerations

• Obra perteneciente a la innovadora serie 'Requisitos en Gastroenterología', que aborda de una manera muy concisa pero completa los conocimientos esenciales en gastroenterología y hepatología: fisiopatología, diagnóstico, diagnóstico diferencial y manejo y tratamiento basado en la evidencia de los distintos trastornos gastrointestinales, hepáticos y pancreáticos. Esta serie se compone de cuatro volúmenes interrelacionados, aunque cada uno de ellos se puede leer y entender perfectamente por separado. Cada volumen está profusamente ilustrado y contiene tablas y figuras que resaltan las características fundamentales de los distintos temas. El cuarto volumen de la serie, dedicado a la endoscopia y radiología gastrointestinal, revisa las principales áreas de los estudios de imagen en gastroenterología y hepatología, conocimiento de gran importancia para el especialista, ya que su empleo es fundamental en la práctica moderna de la gastroenterología, pues, sin la capacidad de diagnosticar la patología y la ayuda visual para tratarla definitivamente, no se podrían practicar muchos tratamientos ni aplicar el conocimiento que ha posibilitado los recientes avances en la ciencia básica.

Handbook of Endourology contains five focused, review-oriented volumes that are ideal for students and clinicians looking for a comprehensive review rather than a whole course. Each volume is easily accessible through eBook format.

Topics covered review both the endourological diagnosis and treatment of prostate, urethral, urinary bladder, upper urinary tract, and renal pathology. All chapters describe the most recent techniques, review the latest results, and analyze the most modern technologies.

In the past ten years, the field of endourology has expanded beyond the urinary tract to include all urologic minimally invasive surgical procedures. Recent advancements in robotic and laparoscopic bladder surgery make this one of the fastest moving fields in medicine.

As current textbooks are too time-consuming for busy urologists or trainees who also need to learn other areas of urology, this collection provides quick references and over 4000 images that are appropriate for fellows as well as those teaching in the field.

• Offers review content for urologists in training and “refresher” content for experts in endourology
• Explores new surgical techniques and technology through review-level content and extensive images of pathologies
• Includes over 500 images per volume; images taken from more than 4000 endourologic procedures performed annually at the editor’s hospital
