Baltimore Convention Center


 


Invitation

Join us in Baltimore, where for the first time the the American Society of Pediatric Nephrology (ASPN) and the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) will host tightly aligned annual meetings. ASPN symposia, joint symposia and original science will all be held at the Baltimore Convention Center. We look forward to the synergy created by this alliance. The Marriott Waterfront Hotel will serve as the ASPN headquarters and will host business activities including Council and Committee Meetings, ASPN Business Meeting, the Breakfast Awards and the Resident Trainee Reception. We look forward to the synergy created by this alliance.

Cancer, Blood, and the Kidney: Common Themes

Chairs: Ellis D. Avner, President, American Society of Pediatric Nephrology and George R. Buchanan, President, American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology

Many children with cancer, hematological disorders, or kidney disease have complex, multisystem problems. Advances in cell and molecular biology provide insights into the interrelationships of cancer, blood, and the kidney and have led to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the clinician. Such approaches are reviewed in this symposium which focuses specifically on the nephrological complications of sickle cell anemia and bone marrow transplantation, hematological complications of nephrotic syndrome, and the molecular pathophysiology of WT-1 associated disorders.

PAS State of the Art Plenary:
Children as Research Subjects: Ethical and Regulatory Issues

Chair: Myron Genel, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT

A number of highly publicized adverse events, including the death of two volunteers participating in non-therapeutic research, and the federal shutdown of research at many well recognized academic institutions because of inadequate compliance with regulatory requirements have intensified scrutiny of the protection afforded to human subjects participating in research, including children. Furthermore a Maryland court has recently decreed that children cannot participate in research without the potential for direct benefit. As a consequence there has been increasing media attention and Congressional concern regarding the adequacy of institutional oversight and investigator attentiveness to established standards and regulations. In addition, new regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of l996 (HIPAA) threaten the capacity to conduct health services and outcomes research. These issues will be addressed in the 9th annual Public Policy Plenary Symposium in an interactive format intended to stimulate dialogue among the members of the panel and with the audience.
