Amal Mattu, MD, Consulting Editor
One of my former medical school professors once referred to the genitourinary (GU) system as the most important system of the human body. He went on to describe the GU system as the reason that we all can live as well as the reason that we all want to live. Without a properly functioning GU system, waste products would build up and cause us to die within days. The GU system also is responsible for mankind’s ability to reproduce and carry on the species. His point was well-taken.
Maladies of the GU system, especially sexual transmitted infections, have affected historical figures such as Hitler, Beethoven, Van Gogh, Al Capone, Napoleon, the Tsar of Russia, Churchill, and King Henry VII. Urinary system diseases, including kidney failure, have affected other well-known figures such as Mozart, James Michener, Emily Dickenson, Erma Bombeck, Art Buchwald, Barry White, and even the beloved fictional character Tiny Tim from the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol . But for every celebrity and historical figure afflicted with a disease of the GU system are countless tens of thousands of others whose lives have been changed or lost. Although cardiovascular, neurological, and gastrointestinal diseases receive far more attention in emergency medicine, there’s no question that GU diseases are common and associated with significant morbidity and even mortality in our patients.
In this issue of Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America , Guest Editor Dr Jonathan Davis has assembled an outstanding group of authors to educate us on this vital aspect of our specialty. Articles discuss core topics such as kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and sexually transmitted infections. Special focus is placed throughout also on conditions that may affect reproductive viability such as testicular torsion and acute ovarian pathologies. Special articles are added focusing on GU tract trauma, specific pediatric disorders, sexual assault, and special imaging techniques. The contributors have also added articles focusing on less common but critically important topics such as Fournier’s gangrene, paraphimosis, and entrapment injuries.
This issue of Clinics represents an important addition to the emergency medicine literature. It is perhaps one of the only resources ever published that focuses on the spectrum of GU emergencies encountered in emergency medicine practice. It will certainly bring greater knowledge to an important but often neglected area of the emergency medicine core curriculum. Whether or not one considers the GU system the most important body system, there’s no doubt that this issue of Clinics will serve as one of your most important resources to keep on hand during routine emergency medicine practice. Kudos to Dr Davis and the authors for this outstanding work!
