Heterotaxy syndrome, dextrocardia, ureteropelvic obstruction, endometriosis, and pulmonary hypertension in an adult with congenital heart defects: a case report.
J Med Case Rep
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Background: Heterotaxia is characterized by an abnormal positioning of the thoracic and/or abdominal organs, resulting in various physiological and hemodynamic implications. Congenital heart disease involves structural irregularities in the heart or major vessels within the chest, leading to functional challenges.
Case Presentation: We present a 26-year-old Arab female patient with a complex medical history involving heterotaxy, dextrocardia, congenital heart disease, and ureteropelvic junction obstruction diagnosed in her first year of life, followed by the identification of endometriosis in her early twenties.
Transperitoneal versus low anterior access single-port pyeloplasty: surgical and functional outcomes from a tertiary referral center.
Minerva Urol Nephrol
December 2024
Department of Urology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA.
Background: Transperitoneal approach to robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) have been preferred in the last decades because of the use of multi-port robotic platforms. However, this approach is linked to notable issues, such as pneumoperitoneum and lateral decubitus position, which is associated with potential soft tissues injuries, and it is a time-consuming procedure. Single-port (SP) platform was introduced to potentially address these issues.

Department of Urology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing, China.
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common pediatric condition often treated with pyeloplasty. Despite the surgical intervention, postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur in over 30% of cases within six months, adversely affecting recovery and increasing both clinical and economic burdens. Current prediction methods for postoperative UTIs rely on empirical judgment and limited clinical parameters, underscoring the need for a robust, multifactorial predictive model.

A 14-year-old boy developed hydronephrosis and worsening renal function due to fibroepithelial polyps of the bladder and left ureter at the age of 12 years. The endoscopic treatment of ureteral polyps was attempted by his previous doctor; however urethral stricture and ureteral stricture developed and was untreatable. Therefore, he was referred to our hospital for further reconstructive treatment.

Electronic address:
Tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a common pathway of the progressive development of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) with different etiologies. The transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) can induce anti-type I interferons and proinflammatory cytokine genes and has been implicated as a therapeutic target for various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Currently, no experimental evidence has confirmed the role of IRF5 in CKD.
