Department of Urology Books 2020
Over the last 10 years, Jefferson faculty have authored or edited more than 25 books in the field of Urology and on other medical topics. Recently the Department has been involved with several new book projects. These recent publications are presented below but first, a brief historical note about books and a famous quote by our University’s namesake:
This iconic statement was made by Thomas Jefferson to John Adams in June 1815, shortly after the tenth and last wagon carrying his library left Monticello for Washington, D.C. Jefferson had sold his library to Congress to replace the congressional library that was destroyed when the British burned the United States Capitol on August 24, 1814. Congress, he felt, could not function without access to a proper reference library, so he promptly offered his own. His library collection numbered more than 6,500 volumes. It was the result of nearly 50 years of painstaking organization and meticulous selection from all of the principal book marts and publishing centers in Europe and America. (blog.monticelloshop.org/)
I cannot live without books.
Thomas Jefferson
1st edition. Trabulsi, Lallas and Calvaresi, Eds. (Springer International Publishing, New York 2020)
Drs. Ed Trabulsi, Costas Lallas and Anne Calvaresi teamed up to edit Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy In Urologic Oncology, a textbook geared toward Advanced Practice Providers (APP’s), which was released in the fall of 2020. This publication is based on a very successful American Urologic Association Office of Education course titled, “Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy in Urologic Oncology: A Guide for the Advanced Practice Provider.” This course has been given the last few years during the AUA annual meeting. Designed as a practical guide for APPs in the office management of urologic oncology patients, this text was written by authors drawn from Urology programs nationally and internationally. Each chapter paired a urologist with an APP as authors, and includes clinical pearls for the APP at the end of each chapter. The content spans all aspects of urologic oncology. Contributors also included several Sidney Kimmel Medical College faculty with the introduction to multidisciplinary urologic oncology care written by Dr. Gomella.
GOMELLA AND HAIST’S CLINICIAN’S POCKET REFERENCE
12th Edition. Gomella and Haist Eds. (McGraw-Hill, New York 2021)
The Clinician’s Pocket Reference was first published in 1979 with the mission of providing medical students, residents, practicing physicians, and other health care providers with the essential information and basics skills needed to provide excellence in patient care. It has served as a general reference book for generations of medical students and other health care providers starting their clinical rotations. The 12th Edition will be released in the spring of 2021 with contributors from across the United States, including many Sidney Kimmel Medical College faculty. According to Andrew Moyer, Senior Editor with the McGraw-Hill Professional publishing group, “It has been several years since the Clinician’s Pocket Reference was updated. Based on the continuing strong demand for the book, we are pleased that Drs. Gomella and Haist have agreed to prepare the 12th Edition. McGraw Hill has decided to rename the book, Gomella and Haist’s Clinicians Pocket Reference in honor of their long-standing editorial leadership of one of our most enduring medical student publications.” Dr. Steve Haist is Professor of Medicine and Associate Dean of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine-Northern Kentucky Campus.
1st Edition. Hubosky, Grasso, Traxer, and Bagley (Springer International Publishing, New York) In Press 2021
The inspiration for this textbook to be published by Springer in the first half of 2021 was drawn from a yearly instructional course, by the same name, presented at the American Urologic Association national meeting. This course was initiated by Dr. Bagley in the mid-1990’s, has been continuously updated and is reliably attended at or close to full capacity on a regular basis. The current course faculty members include Jefferson Urology faculty members, Drs. Demetrius H. Bagley and Scott G. Hubosky, residency program alumnus Drs. Michael Grasso and Olivier Traxer of Hôpital Tenon in Paris, France.
This comprehensive textbook will include sections on advanced ureteroscopic treatment of uretero-nephrolithiasis, upper urinary tract neoplasms and ureteral strictures. Updates on ureteroscope design and instrumentation will be included as well as complications and how to best avoid them. Although the intended audience will be attending endourologists, there will be sections on fundamental uretero-scopic maneuvering, how to attain difficult access and patient positioning. Contributing to the various chapters are many current and past Jefferson Urology residents and endourology fellows. This textbook will highlight the contributions to the advanced ureteroscopy in the Jefferson Urology tradition.
