This edition continues to provide the primary care physician with tools to better recognize urological diseases as well as updated management strategies for these disorders. To enhance the theme of comprehensive care and family medicine, the volume is formatted according to the life cycle and the urological challenges, which may be detected and diagnosed by primary care physicians respective of the patient’s stage in life, beginning with pregnancy and in utero diagnoses. Pediatric themes such as infection and voiding dysfunctions are followed by adult urological topics ranging from prostate diseases, nephrolithiasis, overactive bladder syndromes, incontinence and urological cancer screening. Three new chapters are added addressing male infertility/andrology and the growing demand for integrative and alternative medical care of urologic patients, as well as commonly encountered dermatological problems in the genital area."

"ABSTRACTStage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a localized disease without metastasis; therefore, it can be treated effectively with local therapies. Pulmonary resection is the most frequent treatment, performed as pulmonary wedge resection, segmentectomy, lobectomy, or pneumonectomy. Some retrospective clinical studies of pulmonary wedge resection suggest that its outcome may be inferior to that of anatomical pulmonary resection, whereas other recent studies, which assess surgical margin status, leveled acceptable outcomes. Since the outcome of pulmonary wedge resection for lung cancer may depend on tumor size, distance from the surgical margin to the tumor, tumor size/margin distance ratio, and margin cytology results, a prospective study assessing these parameters is ongoing. This will allow us to identify the clinical implications of these factors and predict which patients are likely to have a good outcome."
