Report on the 19th International Society of Blood Transfusion Platelet Immunology Workshop 2018.

Background And Objectives: The aims of the 19th International Society of Blood Transfusion Platelet Immunology Workshop were to compare the sensitivity and specificity of in-house and commercially available methods for the detection of alloantibodies against human platelet antigens. Survey regarding laboratory management of samples collected for the diagnosis of foetal neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia was also conducted.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-nine laboratories from 17 countries were invited to participate.

A Pilot Study on Diagnostic Radiology Residency Case Volumes From a Canadian Perspective: A Marker of Resident Knowledge.

Purpose: New guidelines from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) have proposed minimum case volumes to be obtained during residency. While radiology residency programs in Canada are accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, there are currently no minimum case volumes standards for radiology residency training in Canada. New changes in residency training throughout Canada are coming in the form of competency-based medical education.
