This book provides a concise overview of common pediatric urology conditions encountered in general urology offices with adult patients. This text begins by detailing the history of pediatric urology in the U.S. and Europe. It then discusses the follow-up of patients with conditions such as hydronephrosis, hypospadias, and neurogenic bladder who continue to require management during adult life and long-term follow-up. By including updates on current practices in common pediatric urology co...

3D Bioprinting in Tissue and Organ Regeneration covers state-of-the-art advances and applications in bioprinting. Beginning with an introduction that considers techniques, bioinks and construct design, the authors then move onto a detailed review of applications of bioprinting in different biomedical fields (skin, cartilage, bone, vascularized tissue, etc.). This is followed by a chapter overview of intraoperative bioprinting, which is widely considered one of the important future trends i...

The differential quadrature hierarchical finite element method (DQHFEM) was proposed by Bo Liu. This method incorporated the advantages and the latest research achievements of the hierarchical finite element method (HFEM), the differential quadrature method (DQM) and the isogeometric analysis (IGA). The DQHFEM also overcame many limitations or difficulties of the three methods.This unique compendium systemically introduces the construction of various DQHFEM elements of commonly used geomet...
