Abnormalities of the lower urinary tract are relative contraindications for kidney transplantation that have been overcome by corrective operations or construction of conduits. In our 2 patients with posterior urethral valves and defunctionalized lower urinary tracts kidney transplantation with ureteroneocystostomy and later resection of the valves resulted in satisfactory bladder function and normal voiding patterns. Therefore, urinary diversion was completely avoided.

Patients with coronary artery disease undergoing trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often receive TAVI alone. However, in cases of severe coronary lesions or anticipated difficulty in coronary access post-TAVI, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting may be necessary. We performed simultaneous gastroepiploic artery to posterior descending artery bypass and TAVI in two patients with severe calcification of the right coronary artery ostium which is unsuitable for percutaneous intervention.

Anhedonia, a core symptom of depression, has been defined as the loss of pleasure or lack of reactivity to pleasurable stimuli. Considering the relevance of alpha asymmetry to MDD and anhedonia, we explored the effect of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) stimulation on frontal and posterior EEG alpha asymmetry (FAA and PAA, respectively), in this exploratory investigation. 61 participants randomly received sham (n = 11), bilateral (BS; n = 25), or unilateral stimulation (US; n = 25) of the DLPFC.
