Aim: To search feasibility and reliability of Telemedicine Systems (TS) in the procurement of Renal Transplantation.
Material And Methods: By an experimental TS, twenty six (n=26) specialists based on a hundred and thirty (N=130) simulated remote image examinations, assessed sensitivity-specificity of the remote examination of Renal Graft (RG) about diseases and damages (Virtual Benching=VB).
Results: Analysis showed: injuries (sensitivity=100%), injuries of the capsula (sensitivity=100%), hematomas (sensitivity=96.2%), non neoplasmatic diseases (specificity=100%), tumors (sensitivity=100%).
Conclusion: The VB of RG after retrieval is feasible and reliable for prevention of damaged renal RG from being sent to the recipient hospital and for transplant planning.

Evaluation of Lyso-Gb1 as a biomarker for Gaucher disease treatment outcomes using data from the Gaucher Outcome Survey.

Background: Patients with Gaucher disease (GD) require continual monitoring; however, lack of specific disease biomarkers was a significant challenge in the past. Glucosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb1) has been shown to be a reliable, key, specific, and sensitive biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response in clinical studies of patients with GD. We evaluated the change in lyso-Gb1 concentration over time following enzyme replacement therapy in patients with confirmed GD using real-world data from the Gaucher Outcome Survey disease registry.

Problem: In Australia, program accreditation requirements include that education providers monitor and evaluate teaching and learning environments and provide evidence of outcomes being used to inform program quality improvement. Yet, closing this loop has proven challenging.
Background: The Australian National Placement Evaluation Centre (NPEC) functions to measure the quality of placements through student evaluations.
Comparison of in-clinic assessment of 6MWT by conventional method and using wearable sensors for patients with ATTR-CM.
Future Cardiol

BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA.
Introduction: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is used to assess submaximal exercise capacity in clinical trials. Conducting the 6MWT can be challenging when patients cannot visit the clinic due to physical/travel limitations. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of conducting the 6MWT using wearable sensors for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.

Department of Surgery, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon.
Background: The reliability of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with initially node-positive breast cancer is still controversial. This meta-analysis is conducted to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of SLNB after NACT in patients with initially positive axillary nodes.
Methods: We conducted a literature search using Medline, PubMed, Embase, Central, and SCOPUS up until April 2021 for studies on the performance of SLNB following NACT.
