A book for men and women from middle age to advanced years who have suddenly and unexpectedly become confronted with the huge effects that the male prostate can have on the body. It is a tale of what can happen to both men and women when the prostate transforms over time as the body changes, free of any of the minor or major taboos surrounding those involved.The book presents both a subjective and an objective account, from a female and a male perspective, of what the prostate is and of the physical, psychological and social effects that changes to the prostate can bring as one ages or reaches old age. The latest medical, psychotherapeutic and social measures available to help men with prostate issues and their partners are discussed. It also addresses the therapeutic taboos that have previously prevented us from attempting a systemic approach to the physical, psychological and social transformation that men and women undergo when they reach middle age and beyond.

Comparing Nuclear Propulsion Technologies for Crewed Missions to MarsCurrent chemical propulsion systems are limited in their ability to support crewed missions to Mars due to their low propellant efficiency and long mission times. Nuclear propulsion technologies offer a potential solution to these challenges, as they are capable of producing higher thrust and propellant efficiency than chemical rockets.This paper compares three nuclear propulsion technologies for crewed missions to Mars: nuclear electric propulsion (NEP), nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP), and nuclear fusion propulsion (NFP). Each technology has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the best choice for a crewed Mars mission will depend on a number of factors, including mission requirements, cost, and risk.NEP systems are the most mature of the three technologies, and they have already been used successfully in a number of space missions. NEP systems use a nuclear reactor to generate electricity, which is then used to power an electric thruster. NEP systems are very efficient, but they produce relatively low thrust. As a result, NEP systems require longer mission times than other nuclear propulsion technologies.NTP systems are less mature than NEP systems, but they offer the potential for higher thrust and shorter mission times. NTP systems use a nuclear reactor to heat a propellant gas, which is then expelled through a nozzle to produce thrust. NTP systems are more efficient than chemical rockets, but they are also more complex and expensive to develop.NFP systems are the most advanced of the three technologies, but they are also the most speculative. NFP systems would use the fusion of atomic nuclei to generate energy, which could then be used to power a variety of propulsion systems. NFP systems have the potential to offer even higher thrust and shorter mission times than NTP systems, but they are still in the early stages of development.

Radiation therapy refers to a technique used for treating cancer with the help of high energy charged particles. It is one of the three major modalities utilized for the treatment of malignant diseases, the other two modalities being chemotherapy and surgery. Radiotherapy utilizes ionizing radiation to treat cancer and is significantly reliant on modern technology. It is also dependent on the joint efforts of a number of medical specialties, such as radiation oncology and medical physics, whose coordinated team approach has a significant impact on the outcome of the treatment. Radiation therapy for cancer requires an understanding of radiation physics along with the interaction of ionizing radiation with human tissue. It is utilised as a primary treatment for cancer, and can be given individually or in combination with other treatments like medications or chemotherapy. This book explores all the important aspects of radiation therapy in the present day scenario. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in this form of cancer therapy. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.

Radiation oncology refers to a medical field which utilizes a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of cancer. It makes use of radiation therapy, which involves the treatment of patients with X-rays generated through electron accelerators. Particle therapy is an emerging technique of radiotherapy. A variety of solid cancers have been treated using protons and carbon ions. The physical properties of the charged particles help in avoiding damage to the normal tissues, as compared to the use of conventional X-rays. This makes proton therapy a safe treatment option for pediatric tumors as well. The treatment and technology utilized in radiation oncology is improving rapidly, which have resulted in an increased number of positive outcomes for patients, as well as fast treatments with few side effects. This book aims to understand the clinical perspectives of radiation oncology. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of this area of medicine. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.

Radiopharmaceuticals are a group of pharmaceutical drugs which contain radioactive isotopes. They are also referred to as medicinal radiocompounds. These agents are used to diagnose certain medical problems or treat certain diseases. Radiopharmaceuticals can be administered in patients through several different ways. They may be given by mouth, injection, or placed into the eye or into the bladder. There are several applications of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals. They can be used to examine blood flow to the brain, functioning of the liver, lungs, heart or kidneys, to assess bone growth, and to confirm other diagnostic procedures. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to radiopharmaceuticals. Scientists and students engaged in radiopharmaceutical research will find it full of crucial and unexplored concepts.

A high-yield guide for interventional radiologists on venous thromboembolic disease Epidemiological analyses estimate venous thromboembolism (VTE) impacts as many as 600,000 individuals annually in the United States, and it is the leading preventable cause of in-hospital mortality. Diagnosing VTE based on clinical symptoms is generally unreliable due to nonspecific signs, while patient management is influenced by thrombosis severity, location, and underlying risk factors. Practical Guides in Interventional Radiology: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) by renowned radiologists Jeffrey Weinstein, Jeet Minocha, and Joshua D. Dowell focuses on helping clinicians improve VTE diagnosis, decision-making, and procedural outcomes. The first chapter covers interventional radiology basics that lay the groundwork for effective management of patients with VTE, including pathogenesis, patient diagnosis, and medical therapies. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss pharmacologic treatment and imaging of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary emboli (PE), respectively. Chapters 4 to 9 provide practical guidance on patient selection and workup, basic and complex interventional techniques, and management of potential complications for a variety of pathologies and interventions. The final chapter presents a Q&A and VTE-related safety issues. Key features: An authoritative review of VTE by a curated collection of experts in the field A reader-friendly primer on the evaluation and management of DVT, PE, and intracardiac thrombus based on evidence-based practices Practical guidance on deployment and retrieval of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters This resource is essential reading for interventional radiology residents and fellows, as well as early-career clinicians who are intricately involved in the management of patients with deep venous disease.
