Call for papers for Clinical Medicine: Urology from Dr Xiangyi Lu

Clinical Medicine: Urology is a grass roots journal for high quality publications in mechanistic and clinical studies in the broad discipline of urology. The journal is designed for rapid, free and unlimited dissemination of knowledge to readers around the globe including places not readily accessible to conventional journals. I encourage submissions in a variety of formats such as research articles, case report, commentary and in-depth review.

1. Urological benign and malignant proliferative diseases, such as roles of inflammatory mediators in urological tissue remodeling and carcinogenesis; paracrine interactions between epithelial and associated stromal cells in the prostate; urothelial differentiation; interstitial cystitis; epithelial homeostasis of the prostate and mammary gland, etc.
2. Urological cancer biomarkers for detection and prognosis.
3. Genetic and environmental risk factors, and sexual behaviour induced urological abnormalities, such as endocrine disruptors and their effects on reproduction, etc.
4. Developmental and functional aspects of male and female urinary systems, such as neurogenic bladder dysfunction and stress induced incontinence in men and women, urinary fistula formation, meningomyelocele, ureteral obstruction, complications of prior surgery in the urinary tract, vaginal prolapse, etc.
5. Clinical and surgical methodology, such as imaging of urological tracts, minimally invasive and non-invasive technology for treatment of urologic diseases, surgical reconstruction of complex pediatric genito-urinary problems, laparoscopic (and robotic) techniques for treating urologic cancers, etc.
6. General reproductive issues: reproductive endocrinology, erectile dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, infertility, hypogonadism, assisted reproductive technologies, etc.
7. Stone diseases and prevention.
8. Clinical outcome analysis and epidemiological studies of urological disorders.
