In a pioneering, first of its kind in the world operation, an international team of surgeons at Childrens Hospital of Illinois created and transplanted a windpipe into a 32-month-old Korean toddler born with a rare, fatal, congenital abnormality in which her trachea failed to develop.. During the revolutionary operation, the surgical team implanted a tissue engineered stem cell based artificial windpipe in Hannah Warren, who had spent her entire life living in a neonatal intensive care unit in a hospital in Seoul, South Korea. Unable to breathe, talk, swallow, eat or drink on her own since birth, Hannah would have died without a trachea transplant.. The groundbreaking, nine hour operation took place at Childrens Hospital of Illinois, part of OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, in Peoria, Illinois, on April 9, 2013. It is the first time a child has received a tissue-engineered, bioartificial trachea, which was made using non-absorbable nanofibers and stem cells from her own bone marrow. Because ...

Monitoring of vancomycin trough concentrations is recommended for pediatric patients in the product label and by several professional societies. However, among a network of freestanding childrens hospitals vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) practices were reported to be highly variable. In this study, we sought to evaluate whether trends in vancomycin use and TDM changed across a large healthcare delivery system in Utah and Idaho from 2006 to 2012. Children ≤18 years who received ≥2 vancomycin doses were included. Overall, vancomycin TDM was performed during 5,035 (80%) of 6,259 hospital encounters, in which 85,442 doses were administered and 7,935 concentrations were obtained. Across this time period, the median trough concentration increased from 10.9 to 13.7 µg/mL (P | .001), which temporally coincided with recommendations published by the Infectious Disease Society of America that recommend targeting higher trough concentrations. Two or more abnormally low trough concentrations were

A retrospective review of TPIAT patients at a free-standing childrens hospital from April 2015 to April 2017 was performed to determine preoperative pancreatitis course and perioperative outcomes of TPIAT. Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) is used to treat debilitating chronic pancreatitis (CP) and acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) that has failed medical and endoscopic therapy. Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive fibroinflammatory injury that can result in endocrine and/or exocrine insufficiency, as well as in severe pain and impaired quality of life. The fibrotic pancreas is removed while the insulin-producing islets are isolated and transplanted back into the patient, usually into the liver via the portal vein. The procedure was performed with an open, pylorus-preserving approach with accompanied splenectomy and gastrojejunostomy tube placement. 16 patients received total pancreatecomies and 1 subtotal pancreatectomy performed. Following extraction of the fibrotic

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Outbreak of intra-hospital acquired rotavirus in a pediatric hospital in Mexico. To the Editor: Rotavirus constitutes the principal causal agent of intra-hospital diarrhea in children, with a described incidence of intra-hospital gastroenteritis of 2 to 7% of hospitalized children primarily between 6 and 23 months old.1 The transmission is from person to person and the virus survives on the hands of health workers during four hours; in inanimate objects it could survive for several days. For this reason, health workers are considered to be the probable cause of transmission in the majority of the cases.2-3 People infected by rotavirus generally present acute vomiting followed by profuse, watery diarrhea without blood and with or without fever. The first episode is normally very serious, thus the clinical signs are very severe in children as well as in immunocompromised patients and elderly people.4-5. The objective of this letter is to briefly comment on the presentation ...

Hospitals and other organizations routinely urge people to give blood, bone marrow and even some organs, but Texas Childrens Hospital is launching a different kind of donor program: breast milk. The Houston pediatric hospital is asking nursing mothers in the area to donate their excess milk, which has proved life-saving for prematurely born babies whose mothers are unable to produce enough to meet the infants needs. The evidence is overwhelming that these critically ill preemies do best on mothers milk, the reason we only feed breast milk in our neonatal intensive care unit, said Nancy Hurst, a Texas Childrens nurse and director of the new donor milk program. [...] the growing demand is also reflected in an emerging movement known as milk trafficking, in which individuals or groups trade, buy or sell breast milk, such as on the website onlythebreast.com. The Food and Drug Administration last year warned against using such individually acquired milk because its unlikely to have been

By Dr. Ellen M. Friedman, Pediatric Otolaryngologist at Texas Childrens Hospital. Battling frequent ear infections in infants is a common obstacle for new parents. If repeated courses of medications have not worked, there is a simple operation that is highly effective.. Getting ear tubes is a relatively small surgical intervention that can help children battle chronic ear infections, persistent fluid in their ears and help them with their hearing. Children of different ages need tubes for different reasons, but the vast majority of children who undergo this surgery are between 6 and 12 months of age.. The otolaryngologists at Texas Childrens Hospital perform 3,000 to 4,000 of these surgeries every year, indicating its a common surgery needed by a high percentage of the pediatric population. There are a wide variety of reasons that children have ear tubes inserted. The childs language development, speech development, and different elements of their intellectual development will impact how we ...

Arkansas Childrens Hospital (ACH) in Little Rock (Pulaski County) is the only pediatric hospital in Arkansas and is among the ten largest childrens hospitals in the United States. Pediatric specialists routinely treat patients from other states and occasionally other countries. Prior to becoming an independent childrens hospital, ACH was an orphanage. In February 1912, Horace Gaines Pugh of Little Rock helped establish the organization that would become Arkansas Childrens Home Society. Pugh, an Illinois native, moved to Little Rock in 1896, where he worked in real estate and eventually opened his own printing house, H. G. Pugh & Company. Pughs early mission was to found a haven for children who were orphaned, neglected, or abused. After the early death of his own father, Pugh was forced to abandon his education as a young teenager to support his mother and younger brothers. During the summer of 1913, the Arkansas Childrens Home Society was moved to Morrilton (Conway County) after Emma ...

Background xiv Manipulation of drug dosage forms is frequently conducted in children due to lack of age appropriate formulations. Manipulation involves physical alteration of a dosage form to extract a proportion of the drug amount such as tablet splitting, opening a capsule or splitting a suppository to either obtain prescribed dose or make administration easier. In the United Kingdom, a resource rich setting, frequency of manipulation was 6.5% of drugs administered to children. Kenyatta National Hospital, a national referral hospital is a resource constrained setting. The study aimed at determining the prevalence of manipulation of drugs to obtain the prescribed dose in paediatric in-patient units in this hospital. Method An observational cross sectional study was conducted between 5th and 18th July 2016 in 4 general paediatric wards, oncology patients, specialized surgical ward, paediatric intensive care and newborn units.

Despite many children experiencing fatigue after childhood brain injury, little is known about the predictors of this complaint. To date, traditional indices of traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity have not reliably predicted persisting fatigue (up to 3 years post‐injury). This study aimed to establish if persisting fatigue is predicted by serum biomarker concentrations in child TBI. We examined if acute serum biomarker expression would improve prediction models of 12‐month fatigue based on injury severity. Blood samples were collected from 87 children (1 - 17 years at injury) sustaining mild to severe TBI (GCS range 3‐15; mean 12.43; classified as mild TBI (n=50, 57%) vs moderate/severe TBI n=37, 43%), and presenting to the Emergency Departments (ED) and Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) at one of three tertiary pediatric hospitals (Royal Childrens Hospital (RCH); Hospital for Sick Children (HSC), Toronto St Justine Childrens Hospital (SJH), Montreal).

Research from the Childrens Outcomes Research Program at Childrens Hospital Colorado shows that timely reminders by state or local health departments are more effective at increasing immunization rates among preschool children than those from primary care practices.. The study, published the American Journal of Public Health, underscores the importance of partnerships between state and county health departments and primary care practices to keep children up-to-date on recommended vaccines.. Immunizations provide us with the opportunity to prevent most of the diseases that killed so many children in the past. But the job of making sure all children receive immunizations in a timely manner is complicated and requires systems to identify who is not up-to-date and to generate reminder letters, postcards or telephone messages, says Allison Kempe, M.D., MPH, director of Childrens Outcomes Research at Childrens Hospital Colorado and primary author of the study. She says that many primary care ...

Those findings are published in the February 2, 2011 online version of Diabetes Care and will be in the March 2011 issue of Diabetes Care.. Led by Dr. Ramin Alemzadeh, professor of pediatrics at the college and pediatric endocrinologist at Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin, and Senior Clinician Scientist at Childrens Hospitals Max McGee Juvenile Diabetes Research Center, the researchers studied 21 preadolescent children (avg. age 8.5 years) with type 1 diabetes, and compared that group to 15 healthy siblings. Investigators looked at flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), a gauge of the health of a major blood vessel of the upper arm artery, in both groups. FMD percentage (FMD%,) is a way to measure any stiffening of the blood vessels; stiffening blood vessels is an early precursor of cardiovascular disease.. Children who had high blood pressure, family history of high cholesterol or premature cardiovascular disease from other causes were excluded. Blood samples were collected from all participants to ...

RESULTS: In the 2006 KID, 22.3% of pediatric inpatients had 1 chronic condition, 9.8% had 2 chronic conditions, and 12.0% had ≥3 chronic conditions. The overall medical error rate per 100 discharges was 3.0 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.8-3.3); it was 5.3 (95% CI: 4.9-5.7) in children with chronic conditions and 1.3 (95% CI: 1.2-1.3) in children without chronic conditions. The medical error rate per 1000 inpatient days was also higher in children with chronic conditions. The association between chronic conditions and medical errors remained statistically significant in logistic regression models adjusting for patient characteristics, hospital characteristics, disease severity, and length of stay. In the adjusted model, the odds ratio of medical errors for children with 1 chronic condition was 1.40 (95% CI: 1.32-1.48); for children with 2 conditions, the OR was 1.55 (95% CI: 1.45-1.66); and for children with 3 conditions, the OR was 1.66 (95% CI: 1.53-1.81). ...
