Reiter's disease can no longer be considered a rare and relatively benign syndrome consisting of the clinical triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis. It is, in fact, a post-infectious reactive arthritis that belongs to a new group of diseases now called seronegative spondyloarthropathies. These diseases are characterized by an extremely high association with the genetic marker, human leukocyte antigen B27. In its full course, the disease often is incomplete with its initial clinical manifestations and characterized by chronicity and progressive crippling recurrences.

Since priapism often leads to impotence immediate therapy should be given with few exceptions (patients with sickle cell disease, neoplasm and infections). A careful history and a search for the etiology are important. The physician should protect himself against legal retribution by obtaining the patient's signature on an informed and witnessed consent to treat.

New tools for the diagnosis of adrenal diseases and the development of successful techniques to treat patients with bilateral tumors of the kidney have increased the number of procedures involving removal of both adrenals. Offering to these patients an adrenal autograft represents more than a superfluous medical exercise, since a successful outcome of the graft will relieve them of the burdens and risks of long-term postoperative steroid replacement therapy. The aim of this review is to bring to mind the possibility of autografting adrenal glands in some clinical situations and to emphasize some points that could be relevant in obtaining successful results. The available data justify clinical trials with the procedure.

Recent concepts may provide the basis for new insights into the etiology and prognosis of bladder cancer. Experimental observations related to the physiology, carcinogenesis and tumor growth of the bladder epithelium are providing useful information to the urologist and may soon extend our understanding of the characteristics of this disease. This article provides an overview of some of these theoretical and experimental considerations.
