Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial to assess safety of teleconsultation compared with face-to-face consultation: the ECASeT study.

Background: The use of remote consultation modalities has exponentially grown in the past few years, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although a huge body of the literature has described the use of phone (tele) and video consultations, very few of the studies correspond to randomized controlled trials, and none of them has assessed the safety of these consultation modalities as the primary objective. The primary objective of this trial was to assess the safety of remote consultations (both video and teleconsultation) in the follow-up of patients in the hospital setting.

First case report of multivisceral transplant from a deceased cardiac death donor.

The current shortage of pediatric multivisceral donors accounts for the long time and mortality on the waiting list of pediatric patients. The use of donors after cardiac death, especially after the outbreak of normothermic regional perfusion, has increased in recent years for all solid organs except the intestine, mainly because of its higher susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury. We present the first literature case of multivisceral donors after cardiac death transplantation in a 13-month-old recipient from a 2.

Broad spectrum of Fabry disease manifestation in an extended Spanish family with a new deletion in the GLA gene.

Background: Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked inherited disease based on the absence or reduction of lysosomal-galactosidase (Gla) activity. The enzymatic defect results in progressive impairment of cerebrovascular, renal and cardiac function. Normally, female heterozygote mutation carriers are less strongly affected than male hemizygotes aggravating disease diagnosis.

Renal involvement as the first manifestation of hypereosinophilic syndrome: a case report.

Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is characterized by elevated and prolonged blood eosinophilia along with organ system involvement and malfunction. The heart is the most frequently involved organ, and renal participation is extremely rare. Herein, we report on a case of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome with renal involvement as the first manifestation.
