Dear users, we would like to inform you about a few new technical developments on the iPath platform

1. comment types: When submitting comments on cases there is now an additional option to specify the type of comment. At present the following types are available: comment, follow-up and Final diagnosis. With the option of specifying "follow up" comments, we follow the wish of consultants who want to know more about the condition of the patients.
   
2. moving cases from one group to another: group moderators can now find a new button "move" in the toolbar. This new option allows moderators to move cases from one group to another.
   
3. video upload: we are working on a video upload module wich will convert uploaded videos into a streamable format that allowed viewing the videos directly from the web platform. The module is not yet generally available, but if any group is interested in testing, please contact us.

Dear Users, as many of you may have noticed, there was a problem with processing email alerts over the weekend. Finally we have found the cause of the problem and fixed it. iPath is now busily delivering the email alters. Please note that due to the server load there are normally up to 1000 emails processed every day.

Due to the high load of emails sent today, the iPath server has been blocked for delivery of email to yahoo addresses. We have notified yahoo and hope that the problem will soon be settled. Currently there are about 1400 email alerts from today waiting for delivery to yahoo email addresses.

we would like to apoligize for all inconveniences caused by this problem. Kind Regards

FInally, the SSL Service and email import and automatic sending of notifications have been restored on this new server.

Dear User

After a hardware failure, our old server provider was unable to restore the server into an acceptable state. Thus we have decided to temporarily host all iPath services on our own servers. However, it had been necessary to restore all data from the last backup from July 13th 2011. Additionally, mail services and SSL login (https) is not yet activated on the new server. These services will be configured within the next few days. The rest of the system should be operational. Should you observe any problems, please inform us (Monika Hubler or Kurt Brauchli)

Dear user of the Histopathology - and Cytopathology Forum. We need more consultants which are willing to help with their diagnosis in a virtual Institute in future. To have a win win situation,  many groups in developing countries would be very thankful, if you could give something back from the benefit you've got the last years. If you can imagine, being part of such an institution please contact me Monika Hubler

Dear user

Over the last two days, 20000 cases with 190000 images have been transferred from the old iPath Server at the University of Basel. These cases are now accessible with your same username and password as they before. We apologize for any disturbances caused this data transfer.

Dear User

On January 9, 2011, some major updates on this server will be installed. Therefore this server will not be accessible on Sunday 9th. Please apologize any inconveniences caused by this service disruption.

This update includes a Java-Applet for DICOM viewing as well as many bugfixes around community administration.

The iPath Software has been updated to version 2.1.4 which includes the following new features:

• default forms for a group: when a new case is entered in this group, these forms are automatically created and attached to this case
• user list is filtered by community. if you want to see all users, please check the "show all" option

Prof. K.D. Kunze (kartu su K.Brauchli, G.Stauch, M.Oberholzer) savo pranešime "Telepatologijos konsultacijos efektyvumas ir diagnostinė vertė" demonstravo Lietuvos telepatologijos atvejus. Nutarta sekantį kongresą 2010 metais organizuoti Vilniuje. Tai didelis Lietuvos patologų tarptautinio aktyvumo ir bendradarbiavimo telepatologijos srityje įvertinimas. Kongrese dalyvavo VPC Direktorius dr.A.Laurinavičius.

Šiandien pradeda veikla nauja grupė "Patologija studentams", skirta VU medicinos studentų patologijos dalyko studijoms. Taip pat sukurta nauja tarptautinė grupė "Prostatic pathology forum". Kviečiame prisijungti.

2006 07 14 diskusijų grupėje pradėta publikuoti VU patologų tobulinimo kursų medžiaga. Jau galite susipažinti su seminaro "Plaučių nenavikinė patologija" atvejais (autorius dr.E.Žurauskas). Kursų dalyviai iki kursų pradžios 2006 09 04 gali savarankiškai studijuoti patologijos atvejus, rašyti savo diagnozes. Atvejai bus aptarti kursų metu ir tuomet atvejai bus papildyti galutinėmis diagnozėmis, imunohistocheminių metodų nuotraukomis ir paskaitų konspektais. Ateityje planuojama ir toliau diegti DISTANCINIO mokymo patologijoje metodą, kas palengvintų organizuoti tobulinimo procesą patologams neišvykstant iš darbo vietų 10-12 darbo dienų.

iPath platformoje pradėjo veiklą naujas telemedicinos puslapis LT TELEPATOLOGIJA ( http://telemed.ipath.ch/lithuania/). Jame ketinama toliau vystyti distancinę konsultacinę ir tobulinimosi veiklą įvairiose medicinos srityse. Kviečiame dalyvauti.

iPath puslapio valdymas buvo "sulietuvintas", siekiant palengvinti darbą vartotojams. Žinoma, jei Jūs siekiate išorinės konsultacijos, rekomenduotina naudoti anglų kalbą.
