A patient in her early 20s presented with constant and progressive lower abdominal and back pain, mainly on the right side of the abdomen, purulent vaginal discharge and pyrexia. A radiological assessment revealed a possible tubo-ovarian abscess and the incidental diagnosis of ipsilateral renal agenesis. The patient was treated for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); however, after antibiotic administration and since the symptoms did not resolve, an abdominal MRI was requested, which revealed uterus didelphys with two cervices, an obstructed haemivagina and evidence of haematocolpos. The diagnosis of Obstructed Hemi-Vagina with Ipsilateral Renal Agenesis (OHVIRA) syndrome was confirmed, and the patient underwent the excision of the vaginal septum, the drainage of the haematopyocolpos and the laparoscopic drainage of the tubo-ovarian abscess. She achieved a good recovery.

Zinner Syndrome in a Young Male: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Zinner syndrome is an extremely uncommon congenital anomaly of the male urogenital tract. It is attributed to an embryological anomaly that arises in the distal segment of the mesonephric or Wolffian duct. It is the inadequate migration of the ureteric bud that contributes to the failure of differentiation of the metanephric blastema, which ultimately results in ipsilateral renal agenesis and atresia of the ejaculatory duct.

Anomalies of the mesonephric duct are associated with a combination of renal agenesis/dysgenesis, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and seminal vesical cyst, called Zinner syndrome. We present a case of this rare syndrome in a young male patient, who initially presented with urinary symptoms. The relevant embryology and diagnostic modalities are discussed.

Objective: This study aims to identify the risk factors for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with a controlled irrigation pressure and to find which patients undergoing PCNL are likely to develop SIRS under the pressure-controlled condition.
Methods: A total of 303 consecutive patients who underwent first-stage PCNL in our institute between July 2016 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All the procedures were performed with an 18 F tract using an irrigation pump setting the irrigation fluid pressure at 110 mmHg and the flow rate of irrigation at 0.
CRKL Gene Deletion in Familial Zinner (OSVIRA) and OHVIRA Syndromes.

Department of Paediatric Surgery & Urology, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, Bristol, United Kingdom.
We present the first description of a family in which 2 siblings show alternative expression of CRKL gene deletion as the phenotypes of Zinner (OSVIRA, obstructed seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis) and OHVIRA (obstructed hemivagina with an ipsilateral renal anomaly) syndromes. The male infant with Zinner syndrome and his sister aged 5 years with OHVIRA syndrome both have a paternally inherited 703-kb deletion at chromosome 22q11.21 that includes CRKL.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different treatments (balloon angioplasty vs. drug-coated balloons) affect the changes in blood vessel tissues following arteriovenous fistula stenosis in pigs with chronic kidney disease.
- Significant differences in tissue composition were observed, with drug-coated balloons leading to lower neointimal growth and higher endothelial cell counts compared to standard angioplasty.
- The findings suggest that using drug-coated balloons may improve vessel healing and reduce complications over time, as shown by varied immune cell responses and tissue growth patterns.
