TL;DR: Findings suggest that the key barriers which affect the development and implementation of online learning in medical education include time constraints, poor technical skills, inadequate infrastructure, absence of institutional strategies and support and negative attitudes of all involved.

TL;DR: An unprecedented reduction in regional births of VLBW and ELBW infants was observed in Ireland coinciding with the COVID-19 lockdown, demonstrating the potential to evaluate these implicated behavioural and socioenvironmental modifiers to positively influence VLBw and EL BW rates globally.

TL;DR: An overview of the recent developments in optical fibre-based pressure measurements with particular reference to these application areas is presented.

TL;DR: Interindividual variation in the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha suggests the existence of functionally distinct TNF alleles, which might play a role in sarcoidosis, but this finding does not necessarily imply that the two polymorphisms relate to different functions; one or both are in linkage disequilibrium with the causal site.

TL;DR: There is a role for microorganisms in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis according to the Minisymposium report, but the role of these microorganisms is still unclear.
