The Phallus in Culture
The occurrence of the phallus in art and culture is a universal phenomenon. The phallus as a symbol stands for many different meanings and emotions, some of which are far removed from the usual connotations. This colorful book demonstrates that the reverence or worship of the phallus—and the culture surrounding it—is a universal phenomenon and the basis of many primitive and present-day religions. This book is ideal for those in the medical world as well as anyone interested in religion, history, ethnology and culture.
Caring for Patients From Different Cultures
Geri-Ann Galanti
Third Edition
What happens when a Cherokee patient summons a medicine man to the hospital, or when an Anglo nurse refuses to take orders from a Japanese doctor? Why do Asian patients rarely ask for pain medication, while Mediterranean patients seem to seek relief for even the slightest discomfort?
If the goal of the American medical system is to provide optimal care for all patients, healthcare providers must understand cultural differences that create conflicts and misunderstandings and can result in inferior medical care.
Caring for Patients from Different Cultures contains over 200 case studies illustrating cross-cultural misunderstanding and culturally competent healthcare. The chapters cover a diverse range of topics, including birth, end of life, traditional medicine, mental health, pain, religion and multicultural staff issues.

2010-2011 Educational Review Manual in Urology – New!
The Annual Review Course was established to provide the most up-to-date information reviewing the practice of urology on an annual basis. The course was originally designed to provide a thorough review of pertinent urologic information for Chief Residents who were about to take their written urology Board Examination. Since that time, the course has grown to include a comprehensive review for those urologists about to sit for their recertification examination and also for those practicing urologists who wanted a general review in the field.
Because this course has become one of the most popular educational offerings of the AUA, the faculty members along with the course directors, Drs. Allen Morey and Daniel Shoskes have written the AUA Educational Review Manual in Urology as an additional study aid to those preparing for the American Board of Urology examinations. This textbook can also be used for general review within the field of urology. This is the third edition of the Review Manual, now with updated basic science and clinical information for all Urologists. There is no CME credit offered.

The Stone Problems of Urinary Bladder and the Bladder Incision
This book highlights Vincenz Kern's life work to transform surgery from a craft to a science--documenting the birth of endourology--and includes several of Kern's published descriptions on bladder stones and lithotomy.
The debate lithotomy versus lithotripsy, Kern versus Civiale, is not only a final example of a traditional academic dispute, but also documents the birth of a new specialty, endourology. Surprisingly, the reduced invasiveness of the new method--not "cutting for the stone" by employing new technology--is not debated. The main driving force for the victory march of minimally invasive procedures, namely the viewpoint of the patient, is here totally neglected. This raises the controversy from an academic dispute of mere historic interest to a fine example of a high-level, but misdirected experts' debate.
