A case of penile agenesis with dysplastic horseshoe kidney, bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and aganglionic megacolon is presented. Embryologic and practical considerations are discussed. We believe this to be the only known case of this congenital anomaly associated with body segmental renal dysplasia and aganglionic megacolon.
A case is presented of bilateral hydronephrosis secondary to a lower ureteral obstruction from a cystocele. An effective method of surgical correction in a poor-risk patient is discussed.

Results of the modified Pereyra cystourethropexy for stress incontinence are presented. The technique prevents a suprapubic suture from entering the bladder because of a vaginal approach into the space of Retzius. The surgeon's vaginal finger guides the suprapubic needle as it passes through the rectus. Thus, a non-absorbable suture may be used and the urogenital diaphragm is brought superiorly to raise and to support the floor of the pelvis. Results are continence in 97 to 100 per cent of 30 women.
Pyelotubular backflow has been shown to occur in primates at a physiologic, although somewhat higher than usual, ureteral pressure. Surgery to produce either partial ureteral obstruction or gross ureteral reflux caused a decrease in the pressure needed for pyelotubular backflow. The papilla is compliant and its shape is changed by these obstructive disorders. These findings help to explain the increased pyelonephritis associated with these abnormalities in patients.
New spectrophotometry of SS433 shows that the variable-wavelength emission features discovered by Margon et al. are due to the simultaneous presence of material having a substantial redshift and a substantial blueshift. A magnetic interpretation for the features is also ruled out by polarimetric measurements. Implications for dynamical models are discussed.
Our study was done to determine the hydrodynamics of pyelorenal reflux. It is considered important in the pathophysiology of chronic pyelonephritis. An animal model of pyelorenal reflux was studied. The model seems to approximate closely the findings in man, both in the pressure required and the types of pyelorenal reflux observed.
