Reporting and learning are key components of quality and safety in radiotherapy. Each event must be reported to national authorities if considered significant according to national criteria. Lessons learnt from analysis of causal factors are primordial to decrease the risk of reoccurrence or the severity of further events. Thanks to national or international, mandatory or voluntary incidents reporting systems, and experience feedbacks, various sources of learning are available to improve risk management. This article aims to compare the regulations about mandatory declarations of significant events and describe national or international incident reporting and learning systems available.

Expeditious management of an unexpected complication of left renal vein ligation during right retroperitoneoscopic simple nephrectomy: A lesson learned the hard way.
Indian J Urol

Department of Urology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
We present a case of inadvertent left renal vein clipping during right retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RPN) and describe its expeditious identification and management. A 13-year-old girl underwent RPN for nonfunctioning kidney due to urolithiasis. During the dissection of the right renal vein, the inferior vena cava (IVC) got lifted off the parietal wall and the left renal vein was mistakenly ligated.

An 80-year-old woman with history of intermittent chest pain presented with a new self-limited episode. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was performed while she was asymptomatic, showing large T waves in V to V. We report a not so known electrocardiographic pattern that can be particularly valuable for identifying patients at high risk of extensive myocardial infarction and its subsequent complications.

Background: Diversity in postgraduate training programs can be increased through program-based recruitment strategies. Prospective applicants often examine website content to determine if training programs are inclusive and offer a good fit. Poor overlap between program director recruitment goals and program website content as a barrier to recruiting a diverse physician workforce has not extensively been studied.

Department of Frontier Cardiovascular Science, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Heart failure should be diagnosed as early as possible. Although deep learning models can predict one or more echocardiographic findings from electrocardiograms (ECGs), such analyses are not comprehensive.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop a deep learning model for comprehensive prediction of echocardiographic findings from ECGs.
