Article Abstract
Multivalvular endocarditis (MVE) is an uncommon infection that mostly involves mitral and aortic valves, and it is related to a higher risk of congestive heart failure and a higher mortality. We described a case of a bilateral MVE and performed a review of the literature on similar clinical cases. We reported an unusual case of a 68-year-old male patient with a tricuspid and mitral infective endocarditis due to a methicillin-resistant complicated by multiple right- and left-sided septic embolization (lungs, brain, spleen, L2-L3 vertebral bones) due to an unknown atrial septal defect identified and repaired during cardiac surgery. Despite the severity of the clinical case, the patient experienced a good clinical outcome also thanks to a multidisciplinary approach. We identified 21 case reports describing bilateral MVE. A multidisciplinary approach is essential in the management of valve diseases to improve the prognosis of patients, especially in bilateral MVE.

De novo heterozygous variants in the neuronal STXBP1 gene cause severe, early-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene replacement therapy offers the potential for a one-time, disease-modifying approach for STXBP1-related disorders. However, off-target overexpression in the liver and in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are known potential toxicities of AAV vectors.

Article Synopsis
- - Following unilateral peripheral vestibular lesions, there is a significant decrease in neural activity in the ipsilateral medial vestibular nucleus (ipsi-MVe), leading to symptoms such as spontaneous nystagmus and postural instability, which tend to improve over time.
- - Recovery processes involve two phases of vestibular compensation: static (initial and late) and dynamic, with the initial phase characterized by plastic changes that balance activities between the ipsi-MVe and contralateral MVe.
- - Treatments like diazepam in the short term can accelerate recovery during the initial compensatory phase, while long-term administration of betahistine supports further recovery without suppressing contraposed neural activity.

Purpose: Pregnancy outcomes (overall patency rate, overall pregnancy rate, natural pregnancy rate, and the ratio of patients with pregnancy by assisted reproductive technology) after microsurgical vasoepididymostomy (MVE) in patients with epididymal obstructive azoospermia (EOA) were assessed through meta-analysis.
Method: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases up to 28 September 2022 for published literature related to retrospective or prospective clinical studies of obstructive azoospermia after apparent microsurgical vasoepididymostomy. Our search terms included obstructive azoospermia, epididymis obstruction, epididymal obstruction and vasoepididymostomy, and epididymovasostomy.
