Surrogate Decision Making for the Previously Capable MinorEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
An older-adolescent patient becomes incapable of making medical decisions due to the progression of his illness. The medical team members are faced with a conflict between what the law requires and their ethical convictions regarding who should be the surrogate decision maker. A discussion of relevant law and ethical standards is presented as it applies to similar situations. (Source: Clinical Pediatrics)

Behavioral Treatment of Trichotillomania and Trichophagia in a 29-Month-Old GirlEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This report describes the behavioral treatment of a 29-month-old girl with TTM. Treatment consisted of 14 daily sessions of behavioral intervention, followed by 3 consecutive days of follow-up treatment conducted 7 weeks after the end of initial treatment. The hair pulling was addressed by using reinforcers for not pulling, provided at intervals of increasing length. At the end of initial treatment, the hair pulling improved significantly. At follow-up, although some of the initial treatment gains were reduced, the patient maintained significant improvement compared with baseline. (Source: Clinical Pediatrics)

Prevalence and Severity of Hypertensive Retinopathy in ChildrenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of hypertensive retinopathy among hypertensive children, evaluated by pediatric ophthalmologists in the "real world" clinical setting using direct ophthalmoscopy. The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the 83 children diagnosed with hypertension by a pediatric nephrologist between 1999 and 2006. Of the 35 children examined by an ophthalmologist within 12 months of the diagnosis of hypertension, only 3 (8.6%; 95% CI, 1.8%-23.1%) were diagnosed with hypertensive retinopathy. Despite the fact that those selected for retinal examination were likely ...

Comparison of Short-Term Outcomes of Late Preterm Singletons and Multiple Births: An Institutional ExperienceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We compare 4 short-term outcomes—namely admission to special care nursery (SCN), length of stay (LOS), age at full feeds (AFF) and respiratory morbidity/need for ventilation—in 1015 late preterm singletons and 366 twins and triplets born at our institution over a 4-year period. Birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) rather than plurality of birth determined need for admission to SCN, LOS, AFF, and need for respiratory support. When matched for GA, compared to singletons, twins and triplets needed less admission to SCN and respiratory support at 36 weeks, whereas at 34 weeks, they had longer LOS and took lon...

The Impact of Bittering Agents on Pediatric Ingestions of AntifreezeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. Despite the appealing logic of limiting the ingested volume and thereby the severity of poisonings by adding aversive agents, and despite promising results in volunteer studies, bittering agents do not decrease the frequency or severity of pediatric antifreeze poisonings. The addition of bittering agents to household products cannot be justified based on actual poisoning data. (Source: Clinical Pediatrics)

Recurrent Cellulitis in a Case of Aagenaes SyndromeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Aagenaes syndrome, also called Lymphedema Cholestasis Syndrome (LSC 1), is a form of idiopathic familial intrahepatic cholestasis associated with lymphedema of the lower extremities. It is named after the Norwegian pediatrician Oyestein Aagenaes, who described the syndrome in 1968. The presence of lymphedema is likely the predisposing factor for development of recurrent infections in such patients.1 Recurrent cellulitis as such has never been described in the literature with Aagenaes syndrome. This case highlights recurrent cellulitis as one of the potential complications of Aagenaes syndrome. (Source: Clinical Pediatrics)

Overweight Prevention in Pediatric Primary Care: A Needs Assessment of an Urban Racial/Ethnic Minority PopulationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The authors studied the prevalence of overweight-related behaviors in an urban clinic population, parents’ perceived willingness to change, and identified potential gaps in nutrition and physical activity promotion. A total of 324 parents of children aged 3 to 13 years were surveyed. Clinical heights and weights were used to calculate body mass index (BMI). Of the 324 children in the study, 55% were black and 28% were Hispanic. Approximately 151 (47%) children had a BMI ≥85th percentile, and overweight-related behaviors, such as TV viewing, were highly prevalent. Overall, parents reported a need for counseling to ...

A Longitudinal Study of Developmental and Behavioral Screening and Referral in North Carolina's Assuring Better Child Health and Development Participating PracticesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Screening children for developmental and behavioral delays is an important part of primary care practice. Well-child visits provide an ideal opportunity to engage parents and to do periodic screening. Screening identifies children who may be at risk and need further evaluation. In North Carolina’s Assuring Better Child Health and Development project best-practices process, screening was incorporated as a routine part of well-child visits regardless of payor. The schedule of screenings, using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, was 6, 12, 18 or 24, 36, 48, and 60 months. From the practices’ population, a cohort o...

Safety of Propofol Sedation for Pediatric Outpatient ProceduresEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Propofol sedation is used more frequently in pediatric procedures because of its ability to provide varying sedation levels. The authors evaluated all outpatient pediatric procedures using propofol sedation over a 6-year period. All sedation was provided by pediatric intensivists at a single institution. In all, 4716 procedures were recorded during the study period; 15% of procedures were associated with minor complications, whereas only 0.1% of procedures were associated with major complications. Significantly more major complications associated with propofol occurred during bronchoscopy (P = .001). Propofol administered ...

Is Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure a Risk Factor for Acute Gastroenteritis in Young Children?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Because passive smoke exposure has not been previously linked to diarrhea diseases in children, it was hypothesized that very young children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure at home would also be more likely to develop infectious gastroenteritis (GE) than their unexposed counterparts. During 1-year period, 260 children 36 months and younger were prospectively followed up in a private pediatric practice in a southern community in the United States. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that ETS was strongly predictive of acute GE in the univariate analysis (P = .003). Even after controlling for t...

There was no significant difference between the rates of positive urine cultures in exclusively breastfed (22% vs 21%, nonsignificant [NS]) formula-fed infants. The relative risk of UTI with breastfeeding versus formula feeding was 1.03 (0.58-1.82), and any breastfeeding versus no breastfeeding was 0.92 (0.58-1.45).

Conclusions. Physicians neither shook hands with many parents who expected it, nor did they address parents by their last names. About 90% of physicians introduced themselves.
