Evaluation of Internet-Connected Real-Time Remote Auscultation: An Open-Label Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

The utility of remote auscultation was unknown. This study aimed to evaluate internet-connected real-time remote auscultation using cardiopulmonary simulators. In this open-label randomized controlled trial, the physicians were randomly assigned to the real-time remote auscultation group (intervention group) or the classical auscultation group (control group).

Japanese Pit Viper Bite during Pregnancy.

The Utility of Real-Time Remote Auscultation Using a Bluetooth-Connected Electronic Stethoscope: Open-Label Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

Background: The urgent need for telemedicine has become clear in the COVID-19 pandemic. To facilitate telemedicine, the development and improvement of remote examination systems are required. A system combining an electronic stethoscope and Bluetooth connectivity is a promising option for remote auscultation in clinics and hospitals.

Pazopanib-associated interstitial lung disease in a patient with renal cell carcinoma.

Pazopanib is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is indicated for use in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma or advanced soft-tissue sarcomas. Although rare, interstitial lung disease has been reported as among the adverse sequelae of pazopanib therapy. We report the case of a 75-year-old man who developed interstitial lung disease during treatment with pazopanib for renal cell carcinoma with multiple lung metastases.
