The XVI-th Banff Meeting for Allograft Pathology was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada, from 19th-23rd September 2022, as a joint meeting with the Canadian Society of Transplantation. To mark the 30 anniversary of the first Banff Classification, pre-meeting discussions were held on the past, present, and future of the Banff Classification. This report is a summary of the meeting highlights that were most important in terms of their effect on the Classification, including discussions around microvascular inflammation and biopsy-based transcript analysis for diagnosis.

- - The study highlights the importance of user input in creating digital health interventions (DHIs) to improve their acceptance for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- - A co-design approach was employed in developing the INTERCEPT DHI, involving health professionals and users in a four-phase process to ensure the app meets real needs and is user-friendly.
- - Key design principles such as simplicity, personalization, and social support were identified, leading to significant improvements in usability scores after testing and implementing user feedback.
Stenosis of the glomerulotubular neck in progressive chronic kidney disease.
Nephrol Dial Transplant
October 2024
Background: Morphology and morphometric evaluation of lesions beyond conventional parameters can inform the pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We sought to determine whether the occurrence of glomerulotubular neck stenoses associates with progressive CKD.
Methods: We evaluated the normal parenchyma from radical nephrectomies removed for tumor between 2000 and 2021 and analyzed cortex for stenoses of the glomerulotubular neck.
Background: Despite growing evidence for the effectiveness of digital cardiac rehabilitation (CR) uptake of this technology remains low. Understanding the factors that influence implementation of digital CR in clinical practice is a growing area of research. The aim of this nested qualitative study was to explore health worker perspectives on factors influencing implementation of a digital CR programme.

- Major advancements in medical and surgical treatment for cardiovascular disease (CVD) over the past century have led to improved survival rates and shorter hospital stays, increasing the need for ongoing cardiovascular risk management.
- Despite these advancements, post-discharge care often relies on outdated rehabilitation models that don't adequately address the long-term needs of survivors living with CVD.
- The paper advocates for reframing cardiac rehabilitation into a broader concept of supporting cardiovascular health through the "5 P's": personalization, processes, patient-centered care, parlance, and partnership, to better engage survivors and improve their outcomes.
