T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia in Vietnam: Using microscope-to-screen videoconferencing to improve diagnosis
CONCLUSIONS: Our virtual consultation model has improved patient care in Vietnam by providing correct diagnoses to inform best practices in treatment. As a result of our program, the first Vietnam diagnoses of T-LGLL were made and may help expand on the literature in this area. This model could provide cost-effective, real-time consultation and education services for pathologists in underserved communities.PMID:37788085 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad121 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Anatomic and clinical pathology services and infrastructure in Zambia
CONCLUSIONS: This study of 17 unique laboratories represents the most complete analysis of pathology capabilities in Zambia. Despite initiatives to improve pathology services, both personnel and infrastructure challenges remain. Given a population of approximately 20 million, expansion of anatomic pathology in Zambia must be prioritized.PMID:37773021 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad113 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)
