Article Abstract
Efficacious, effective and efficient communication between healthcare professionals (HCP) and patients is essential to achieve a successful therapeutic alliance. Telemedicine (TM) has been used for decades but during the COVID-19 pandemic its use has become widespread. This position paper aims to describe the terminology and most important forms of TM among HCP and patients and review the existing studies on the uses of TM for asthma and allergy. Besides, the advantages and risks of TM are discussed, concluding that TM application reduces costs and time for both, HCP and patients, but cannot completely replace face-to-face visits for physical examinations and certain tests that are critical in asthma and allergy. From an ethical point of view, it is important to identify those involved in the TM process, ensure confidentiality and use communication channels that fully guarantee the security of the information. Unmet needs and directions for the future regarding implementation, data protection, privacy regulations, methodology and efficacy are described.

Introduction: We aimed to explore the conceptualization and perception of self-monitoring amongst women, partners, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and policymakers, with particular interest in those living with social/medical complexity.
Material And Methods: Across the United Kingdom, 96 semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 40 women, 15 partners, 21 HCPs, and 20 policymakers to discuss their lived experience of utilizing, delivering, or developing policy for self-monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic. A thematic framework analysis was undertaken to develop themes, considered by participant type, ethnicity, geographical region, personal experience of self-monitoring, and social complexity, and a content analysis was used to explore how self-monitoring was conceptualized.
Understanding lived experiences with KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.

Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc., New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (KCNQ2-DEE) is a rare pediatric disorder characterized by seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments. Parent- and healthcare professional (HCP)-reported outcomes regarding the impacts of seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments may guide the design of clinically meaningful KCNQ2-DEE outcome measures.
Methods: Parents of children with KCNQ2-DEE (N = 53) and HCPs with KCNQ2-DEE expertise (N = 2) participated in qualitative interviews exploring signs, symptoms, and impacts of KCNQ2-DEE, and how varying KCNQ2-DEE phenotypes affect child development.

Pompe disease (PD), an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder, results in glycogen accumulation in muscle cells, leading to progressive muscle weakness and respiratory insufficiency. Newborn screening (NBS) has improved outcomes for infantile-onset PD by enabling early diagnosis and intervention with enzyme replacement therapy. NBS also identifies late-onset PD (LOPD) cases, wherein children have a wide clinical spectrum and may remain asymptomatic for years, placing families in uncertainty as "patients-in-waiting.
