AUA/SBUR Res. Conf.-"Inflammation in Prostate Diseases"

描述（由申请人提供）： 第13届年度泌尿外科夏季研究会议，由AuA和SBUR提出，题为“炎症在前列腺疾病。“会议将于2005年8月19日和20日在马里兰州林西肯的AUA总部大楼举行。这些会议的使命是为来自泌尿外科研究领域内外的资深研究者提供一个紧张而亲密的论坛，与初级研究者会面，回顾泌尿外科研究相关主题的进展。会议主题是通过需求评估调查选定的，并得到AUA和SBUR的批准。2005年会议将提供一个审查的相互作用的炎症在前列腺疾病，包括前列腺炎，前列腺癌，良性前列腺增生。研究揭示了炎症在各种重要疾病中的作用，如心脏病和癌症。炎症现在也被怀疑在前列腺疾病中起重要作用。2005年AUA和SBUR夏季研究会议将在为期两天的五个主题会议中概述前列腺疾病炎症的现有知识，包括主题演讲和小组讨论。此外，还将举办一次特别辅导班，以鼓励和协助年轻调查员进入实地并在实地站稳脚跟。要求提供资金，以支助新调查员的住房和差旅。由于财政拮据，许多年轻的调查员在没有外部支助的情况下无法出席这样的会议。对这次会议的支持将通过为新的研究人员提供指导以及对这一新兴研究领域的教育来鼓励泌尿外科研究的未来发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 13th annual Urology Summer Research Conference, presented by the AuA and the SBUR, is entitled "Inflammation in Prostate Diseases." The meeting will be held August 19 and 20, 2005, at the AUA Headquarters Building in Linthicum, Maryland,. The mission of these meetings is to provide an intense and intimate forum for established investigators, both from within the field of urology research and from outside the field, to meet with junior investigators to review advances in a topic related to urologic research. The conference topic was selected by a needs assessment survey and approved by the AUA and SBUR. The 2005 conference will provide a review of the interaction of inflammation in prostate diseases, including prostatitis, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Research is revealing a previously unsuspected role for inflammation in a variety of important diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. Inflammation is now also suspected to play an important role in prostate diseases as well. The 2005 AUA and SBUR Summer Research Conference will provide an overview of the current knowledge on inflammation in prostate diseases in five topic sessions over two days, including keynote lectures and panel discussions. In addition, a special mentoring session will be held to encourage and assist young investigators to enter and become established in the field. Funding is requested to support housing and travel for new investigators. Due to financial constraints, many younger investigators could not attend such a meeting without external support. Support for this meeting will encourage the future development of urology research by providing mentoring for new investigators as well as education on this emerging research area.
