Attitudes of Patients with Advanced Chronic Illnesses Toward Palliative Extubation in a Country Where It Is Illegal.

Diagnostic delays among COVID-19 patients with a second concurrent diagnosis.

Background: Little is known about the effect of a new pandemic on diagnostic errors.

Remote pathology education during the COVID-19 era: Crisis converted to opportunity.

Context: The COVID-19 pandemic led to shutting of education faculties, including clinical clerkships for medical students.

Objective: To review a selective for a course in diagnostic pathology geared toward undergraduate medical students, including its design, technical implementation, instructor and student evaluations, and suggestions for options for further adjusting and optimizing the selective.

Design: Whole slide images (WSI) were anonymized and students were given remote access to university computers, which were prepared with two freely available WSI viewers.
