Miscommunications are a leading cause of serious medical errors. Data from multicenter studies assessing programs designed to improve handoff information about patient care lacking.We conducted prospective intervention study resident handoff-improvement program in nine hospitals, measuring rates errors, preventable adverse events, and miscommunications, as well workflow. The included mnemonic standardize oral written handoffs, communication training, faculty development observation program,...
CDC has updated its interim guidance for U.S. health care providers caring infants with possible congenital Zika virus infection (1) in response to recently published pregnant women exposure (2), unknown sensitivity and specificity of currently available diagnostic tests infection, recognition additional clinical findings associated infection. All born mothers exposure* during pregnancy should receive a standard evaluation at birth each subsequent well-child visit including comprehensive...
Patient handoffs are a key source of communication failures and adverse events in hospitals. Despite Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements residency training programs to provide formal handoff skills monitor handoffs, well-established curricula validated assessment tools lacking. Developing curriculum is challenging because the need standardized processes faculty development, cultural resistance change, diverse institution- unit-level factors. In this article,...
<h3>Importance</h3> Medical errors and adverse events (AEs) are common among hospitalized children. While clinician reports the foundation of operational hospital safety surveillance a key component multifaceted research surveillance, patient family not routinely gathered. We hypothesized that novel family-reporting mechanism would improve incident detection. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare error AE rates (1) gathered systematically with vs without reporting, (2) reported by families...
To define the CNS manifestations of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), records 61 consecutive episodes HUS in 60 patients were reviewed. Major signs (seizures and/or coma) occurred 30 episodes. Twenty-four children had seizures. Analysis blood pressure and metabolic parameters or admission to hospital did not predict which child would exhibit signs. However, during subsequent course illness, with dysfunction lower minimum serum sodium concentrations more severe azotemia likely require dialysis...
The Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum (EPAC) Study Group is developing first competency-based, time-variable progression from undergraduate medical education (UME) to graduate (GME) history of United States. EPAC, an innovation project sponsored by Association American Medical Colleges and supported Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, was developed through a collaboration between five schools multiple professional organizations with interest education. planning implementation process...
Abstract Increasing concern about children in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) prompted survey of members the Child Neurology Society regarding aspects diagnosis and management this disorder. Major findings those responding to (26% response rate) were as follows: (1) 93% believed that PVS can be made children, but only 16% belived applied infants younger than 2 months 70% 2‐month 2‐year group; (2) period 3 6 was minimum observation required before could made; (3) 86% age patient would...
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine which Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) genes had significantly altered expression following 2–36 h infestation by the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer). Six biological replicates were performed for both control and treatment at each time point, allowing rigorous statistical analysis any changes. Only two showed after 2 (one up- one down-regulated) while down-regulated twenty three up-regulated 36 h. transcript annotation allowed classification into a...
More than a decade has passed since the last major workforce survey of child neurologists in United States; thus, reassessment neurology is needed, along with an inaugural assessment new related field, neurodevelopmental disabilities.The American Academy Pediatrics and Child Neurology Society conducted electronic 2015 disabilities specialists.The majority respondents participate maintenance certification, practice academic medical centers, offer subspecialty care. EEG reading epilepsy care...
Bell's palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis. In this study, we demonstrate presence herpes simplex viral type 1 (HSV-1) genomic DNA in geniculate ganglion a patient who had palsy. This association suggests that patient, HSV-1 may have caused If palsy, treatment with acyclovir be beneficial. Additional studies should done to establish prevalence as an etiologic agent
Our objective was to confirm an observed temporal association of increased numbers rheumatic fever cases concomitant with the appearance prevalence mucoid strains Streptococcus pyogenes. During resurgence (RF) that has occurred in Intermountain area surrounding Salt Lake City, Utah, since 1985, largest number 1985 and 1986 12 years later 1997 1998. initial outbreak exacerbation resurgence, S pyogenes were present community.The referred RF fulfilled Jones criteria have been systematically...
Faculty development has been identified as a critical need if we hope to advance competency-based education. Despite the small number of participants at single institution, model presented here possibility for making significant contribution future faculty initiatives two reasons. First, by supporting time scholars, program makes statement about value medical education and recognition that it requires skill set become an educator. While requisite sets long recognized training...
To determine the feasibility and cost effectiveness of incorporating cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing to etiology pediatric hearing loss.Retrospective study children presenting with sensorineural loss (SNHL) at one institution from 2008 2013.Children aged 3 years or younger who presented senior author (A.P.) between May September 2013 confirmed SNHL were evaluated. These underwent a sequential diagnostic paradigm that incorporated CMV if no obvious could be determined history physical...
