Written by experts in the field to ensure that it is grounded in real life clinical practice, this handbook provides a concise guide to all aspects of oncology for all students, nurses, and junior faculty responsible for the care of cancer patients, while also providing further reading and highlighting areas of controversy for those who need a more detailed understanding.

Il volume tratta diversi argomenti della Urologia funzionale, nei loro aspetti meno affrontati e proponendo sempre nuovi punti di vista, spaziando dalla vescica iperattiva refrattaria alla ritenzione urinaria acuta e cronica, dall’ipoattività alla iperattività uretrale, dal dolore pelvico alla vescica neurologica. Ogni tema viene presentato attraverso un caso clinico che l’Autore definisce come “paradigmatico”, la cui presentazione porta a sviluppare l’argomento attraverso il ragionamento clinico, che è lungi dall’essere scontato. In tal modo ci viene ricordato come l’affrontare il processo di diagnosi e trattamento attraverso la sintesi tra le evidenze, che riguardano la popolazione generale dei pazienti, e il ragionamento clinico, orientato sul singolo caso, sia la strada per la migliore cura. D’altra parte, ogni tema porta con sé anche un altro caso clinico, definito “emblematico”, che potremmo invece descrivere come un “caso con la sorpresa”, che punta a sottolineare come talora sia necessario ampliare il punto di vista alle ipotesi meno usuali. fornire un riferimento sistematico e aggiornato per integrare la prevenzione vaccinale nei contesti ospedalieri e assistenziali. In un quadro demografico ed epidemiologico in rapida trasformazione, con incremento delle fragilità cliniche e nuove sfide clinico-epidemiologiche, la vaccinazione assume un ruolo strategico per la tutela dei pazienti fragili, la riduzione delle infezioni correlate all’assistenza e il contenimento dell’antibioticoresistenza, diventando una parte imprescindibile del percorso di cura. Il testo propone un approccio multidisciplinare indirizzato a direzioni sanitarie, professionisti ed operatori di area sanitaria e sociosanitaria, coniugando aspetti normativi, gestionali, organizzativi e medico-legali. Gli indirizzi operativi, gli indicatori di monitoraggio e i modelli organizzativi proposti offrono strumenti concreti per rendere le strutture sanitarie e sociosanitarie non solo luoghi di cura ed assistenza, ma anche veri e propri presìdi di sanità pubblica. In questa prospettiva, il volume si configura come guida tecnico-organizzativa e insieme come manifesto culturale: riafferma che la qualità e la sicurezza dell’assistenza passano attraverso la prevenzione vaccinale, elemento imprescindibile per la sostenibilità e la resilienza del “sistema salute”.
