Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are an emerging workplace-based, patient-oriented assessment approach with limited empirical evidence.To measure the development of pediatric trainees' clinical skills over time using EPA-based data.Prospective cohort study categorical residents 3 academic years (2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2018) assessed on 17 American Board Pediatrics EPAs. Residents in training at 23 residency programs Association Pediatric Program Directors Longitudinal...
To update sleep medicine providers regarding (1) published research on the uses and performance of novel tracking testing technologies (2) use artificial intelligence to acquire process data (3) trends gaps development and/or evaluation these technologies. Medline Embase electronic databases were searched for studies utilizing screening diagnostic technologies, between 2020 2022 in journals focusing human sleep. Studies' quality was determined based Study Design criteria The Oxford Centre...
Persistent or recurrent wheezing is a common indication for flexible bronchoscopy, as anatomic and infectious inflammatory changes are highly prevalent. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of anatomic, infectious, disease in cohort children undergoing bronchoscopy poorly controlled asthma.We retrospectively reviewed all <18 years old who underwent at our center from October 29, 2012-December 31, 2016 primary secondary (persistent, frequently recurring, atypical) asthma.A total 101...
Abstract Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD1) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that caused by mutations in the gene encoding for immunoglobulin µ‐binding protein 2. Unlike relatively more common spinal atrophy, patients SMARD1 have prior to manifestation of distal muscle weakness making diagnosis challenge. Because hallmark feature this disease, pediatric pulmonologists should recognize its features, and consider it as diagnostic entity. Pediatr. Pulmonol. 2011;...
Objectives: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator regulates fluid balance in alveolar epithelial cells and appears to modulate the inflammatory response. To determine whether more severe lung injury children who develop community-acquired pneumonia is associated with variations known affect function gene coding for regulator. Design: A prospective cohort genetic association study of pneumonia. Setting: Three major tertiary care children’s hospitals. Subjects: Caucasian...
Abstract Introduction Insomnia is a common sleep disorder in pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental disabilities. There are no FDA approved medications for insomnia the population, and treatment can be challenging. We present case of successful maintenance 15-year-old male doxepin supportive actigraphy data. Report case(s) A past history pertinent genetic disorder, autism spectrum (ASD) attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) was evaluated Pediatric Sleep Medicine Clinic long standing...
Abstract Introduction The definition of respiratory events has evolved over decades. current American Academy Sleep Medicine scoring manual recommends hypopneas be defined by a ≥ 30% airflow reduction with either 3% desaturation or an arousal, while the prior “recommended” criteria and associated 4% oxygen (with no requirement arousal) was changed to “optional”. Consequently, previously characterized as effort related arousal (RERA) may now hypopnea. We hypothesized that apnea-hypopnea index...
<b>Intro:</b> Lack of adequate sleep is known to have an impact on numerous aspects health. Patients with orthostatic intolerance (OI) frequently report ill-defined problems and fatigue. Research objective measures in adolescents OI lacking. <b>Aims:</b> The goal was describe fatigue complaints by using actigraphy before after participation the Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC) 3-week program. We hypothesize that chronic will frequent subjective disturbance demonstrate significantly improved...
Abstract Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children and adolescents is commonly discussed amongst dental specialists. Physical attributes such as a high narrow palate, dolichofacial appearance, retrognathic mandible are reported to increase pediatric risk for OSA. Previous research states rapid maxillary expansion decreases AHI with OSA may be an effective treatment option. Current literature does not report consistent method of measuring transverse deficiency nor it numerical...
Abstract Introduction Epilepsy is frequently encountered in the pediatric population and some patients are treated by stimulation of vagus nerve to reduce their seizure frequency. Vagus (VNS) may induce central sleep apnea. Adaptive servo ventilation a known treatment option for apnea certain adult with heart failure Cheyne-Stokes respiration but infrequently utilized population. Report case(s) A 17-year-old male history intractable generalized epilepsy, VNS placement, obstructive (OSA)...
Chronic disruptions to sleep in childhood are associated with increased prevalence of psychiatric disease later development. When remit before adolescence, the is no longer observed, highlighting importance early detection and intervention. Clinicians typically rely on caregivers' reports for diagnosis management challenges. We examined whether findings polysomnogram (PSG) can offer similar insight into difficulties risk subsequent illness.
