Obstructive and neuromuscular disorders are common problems of the urinary tract. They cause considerable morbidity and some mortality. In all problem areas research efforts have been and continue to be limited. The principal reason for the lack of research efforts in these areas is the lack of trained established investigators interested in the problems of the urinary tract. Unfortunately, most basic scientists with the research and investigative background to solve many of these problems see them as mundane and not worthy of investigation. In addition, these same basic scientists are out of touch with clinical urologic diseases and probably do not appreciate the magnitude of the problems. In our opinion the solution is 2-fold: to train qualified investigators in urology and nephrology, and to interest, educate and collaborate with the basic scientists about these clinical problems of the urinary tract.
梗阻性和神经肌肉性疾病是泌尿系统的常见问题。它们会导致相当高的发病率，甚至一些死亡率。在所有这些问题领域，过去的研究工作一直有限，而且现在仍然如此。这些领域缺乏研究工作的主要原因是缺乏对泌尿系统问题感兴趣的训练有素的资深研究人员。不幸的是，大多数具备解决这些问题所需研究和调查背景的基础科学家认为这些问题平淡无奇，不值得研究。此外，这些基础科学家与临床泌尿系统疾病脱节，可能没有意识到这些问题的严重性。我们认为解决方案有两个方面：培养泌尿外科和肾脏病学方面合格的研究人员，并让基础科学家对泌尿系统的这些临床问题产生兴趣、对他们进行教育并与他们合作。
