DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A generation ago, the management of patients with symptomatic stones was forever dramatically altered with the introduction of minimally invasive treatment such as shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy and precutaneous stone removal. After many years of incremental improvements, the field of urolithiasis is on the cusp of, again, revolutionary discoveries in the management and prevention of kidney stone disease. In addition, there has been very few major international meeting that have focused on the new clinical and basic science discoveries in this field. To address this need the International Kidney Stone Institute (IKSI) held the 1st International Urolithiasis Research symposium in November of 2006 and addressed the clinical and basic science aspects of both kidney pathogenesis and treatment. Because of the overwhelming success of the 1st International Urolithiasis Research symposium, IKSI has organized and will host the "2nd International Urolithiasis Research symposium" in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 17-18, 2008. This meeting will bring together about fifth clinical and basic science experts from around the globe to: 1) address the latest findings in nephrolithiasis, 2) examine the a select group of state-of-the-art techniques that appear to have the potential to rapidly advance our understanding of how stone from and grow and 3) provide an scientific atmosphere to stimulate and challenge students and junior faculty members to consider a career in kidney stone disease. Another feature of this symposium is that a number of international scientists that have never participated in a symposium together will discuss kidney stone disease from their area of expertise. Finally, because the clinical and basic science topics relevant to kidney stone disease cross a number of disciplines, no one society has covered this field completely at their annual meeting. Therefore, in our view, there appears to be a critical need in the field of nephrolithiasis for a comprehensive international meeting that is conducted on a regular basis so that new data and ideas can be easily and rapidly shared with the goal of improving care for all kidney stone patients. This assumption was supported by the great success of the 1st International Urolithiasis Research symposium and the high level of interest in the 2nd symposium date.

描述（由申请人提供）： 一代前，随着引入微创治疗（例如冲击波碎石术，输尿管镜检查和前石头去除），对有症状结石的患者的管理永远发生了巨大改变。经过多年的增量改善，尿石病的领域再次出现在肾脏疾病的管理和预防方面的革命性发现。此外，很少有重大国际会议重点是该领域的新临床和基础科学发现。为了解决这一需求，国际肾结石研究所（IKSI）于2006年11月举行了第一届国际尿石病研究研讨会，并探讨了肾脏发病机理和治疗的临床和基础科学方面。 Because of the overwhelming success of the 1st International Urolithiasis Research symposium, IKSI has organized and will host the "2nd International Urolithiasis Research symposium" in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 17-18, 2008. This meeting will bring together about fifth clinical and basic science experts from around the globe to: 1) address the latest findings in nephrolithiasis, 2) examine the a select group of state-of-the-art似乎有可能快速提高我们对石头如何生长的理解以及3）提供科学氛围的技术，以刺激和挑战学生和初级教职员工考虑从事肾脏石材疾病的职业。该研讨会的另一个特征是，许多从未一起参加研讨会的国际科学家将讨论其专业领域的肾脏疾病。最后，由于与肾结通疾病有关的临床和基础科学主题跨越了许多学科，因此没有一个社会在年度会议上完全涵盖了这一领域。因此，我们认为，在肾磷灰石症领域似乎有一个迫切需要的，以定期进行全面的国际会议，以便可以轻松而快速地共享新的数据和想法，以改善所有肾脏石头患者的护理。这一假设得到了第一届国际尿石研究研讨会和第二届研讨会日期的高度兴趣的巨大成功的支持。
