Proposal to establish a National Institute of Kidney and Urologic Diseases. Report of the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Advisory Board.

In 1991 the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Advisory Board published a long-range plan entitled "Window on the 21st Century." In that plan the Board recommended that Congress establish a new National Institute of Kidney and Urologic Diseases (NIKUD). This recommendation stemmed from the Board's appreciation that patient morbidity and mortality from kidney and urologic diseases continue to increase and that a focused, well funded research endeavor is the only real hope for reversing this trend. In 1992 the Board established a special subcommittee to consider further the establishment of a National Institute of Kidney and Urologic Diseases. The subcommittee sought input from a wide variety of extramural and intramural sources. American Urological Association: A new devoted institute would provide coordination and expansion of basic research into kidney and urologic diseases now fragmented and underfunded within multiple institutes. The research areas of kidney and urologic diseases are not currently receiving adequate or appropriate attention proportionate to their prevalence and their adverse impact upon society. American Society of Nephrology: The Society supports the establishment of a separate kidney and urology institute. First and foremost, our primary interest is to obtain more support for kidney and urologic diseases. Such research does not receive the emphasis and prominence that it deserves at the National Institutes of Health. The Society believes that a separate institute would provide increased focus for these diseases. National Kidney Foundation: The creation of such an institute is the highest priority of the medical and lay constituencies of the Foundation. American Foundation for Urologic Disease: The creation of a new (kidney and urology) institute within the National Institutes of Health is by far the most expeditious way to centralize and advance the research efforts in this critical field. Scope of a New Kidney and Urologic Diseases Institute: NIKUD should develop an intramural and extramural research program that focuses on all aspects of kidney and urology diseases. NIKUD should be organized so that its activities address issues in pediatric and adult kidney and urologic diseases, including renal failure, transplantation, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, incontinence, sexual dysfunction and male reproduction. NIKUD must foster research training and career development. The integrated scientific programs of the new institute will enhance the treatment and cure of kidney and urologic diseases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

[Simulation of the urological disease picture in pre-existing basic urological disease].

It is reported on four urological clinical pictures which were simulated in different conflict situations by the patient or his parents. On account of the known basic disease the diagnosing is made difficult. Possible causes are discussed. The therapy may be successful only in cooperation with a psychiatrist or psychologist. The refusing behaviour of the patients often renders impossible a final clarification.

International Consultation on Urological Diseases: a decade of progress.

The International Consultation on Urological Diseases (ICUD), under the cosponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Society of Urology (SIU), and the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), is active in the organization of global consultations on urological diseases. The major urological associations from the five continents (the American Urological Association (AUA), the Urological Association of Asia (UAA), the Confederation Americana Urologia (CAU), and the European Association of Urology (EAU)), together with societies with expertise in specific programs such as the International Continence Society, the International Society for Impotence Research, the International Prostate Health Council, the American Cancer Society, the International Union Against Cancer, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, came together in the late 1980s on the basis of their proven record in organizing successful international meetings on urological cancer to initiate the concept of the ICUD. At the suggestion of the WHO, a First International Consultation on Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) was organized in 1991, not only to provide recommendations to medical practitioners but also to define and plan future research on the subject. The formula, based on global multiprofessional collaboration and expertise, exceeded expectations, and other consultations were to follow, e.g., on prostate cancer, incontinence, erectile dysfunctions, and nosocomial infections. In 1994 it became necessary to establish a legal nongovernmental organization to foster the goals of the ICUD, essentially for the creation of awareness, knowledge, and recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of urological diseases.

[The spina bifida child with special reference to urologic disease].

From the view of the urological diseases a new conception of the spina bifida cystica is represented. The first part contains informations on etiology, pathological anatomy and physio-pathology. Considering the urological diseases (neurogenic bladder with incontinence and residual urine, vesico ureteric reflux and chronic pyelonephritis) special importance is attached to the pathogenesis. Within the therapeutic methods the treatment with the alpha-blocking agent Phenoxybenzamin (Dibenzyran, Röhm Pharma GmbH, Darmstadt) is emphasized as the actual therapy of the neurogenic bladder. The operative indication of the Ileum-Conduit (Bricker-) is mentioned. An analysis of 125 spina bifida-patients with the pathological findings in the kidneys and the urinary tract is given.
