Purpose The survival of children with CNS tumors approaches 70%, yet health-related quality life (HRQOL) has not been investigated rigorously in this population. We aimed to show that universal assessment HRQOL could be obtained easily by using the PedsQL 4.0 and provide a composite profile their daily lives. Patients Methods was administered all patients seen neuro-oncology clinic at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (Palo Alto, CA) from December 2001, September 2002. were compared healthy...
Abstract Purpose Given the higher survival rates of childhood cancer, health care providers must be aware side effects cancer therapies to educate patients and provide appropriate interventions reduce cancer‐related morbidity. To understand current practices attitudes in a pediatric hematology/oncology clinic, were surveyed regarding fertility issues pertinent their patient care. Participants Instruments In this study, 93.8% (30/32) one department completed 44‐item survey assessing...
Given pediatric cancer patients are living into adulthood, parents and need to be informed about fertility-related side effects of their particular treatment.We surveyed 97 all ages as well 37 adolescent 14 years or older who were presented for care at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH) Stanford University Medical Center. We estimated potential infertility risk (low, intermediate, high) based on child's treatment regimen.In contrast our hypothesis, majority in three categories...
Incidence patterns of central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors (GCTs) have been reported, but the influence underlying host risk factors has not rigorously explored. We aimed to determine in a large, population-based cancer registry how age, sex, and race, occurrence CNS GCTs pediatric population.Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results registry, we identified cases histologically confirmed children, adolescents, young adults (age 0 29 y), diagnosed between 1973 2004. The were...
Throughout history, battlefield medicine has led to advancements in civilian trauma care. In the most recent conflicts of Operation Enduring Freedom Afghanistan/Operation Iraqi Freedom, one important advances is increasing use point-of-injury hemorrhage control with tourniquets. Tourniquets are gradually gaining acceptance medical world-in both prehospital setting and centers. An analysis Emergency Medical Services (EMS) data shows an increase tourniquet utilization from 0 nearly 4,000...
Objectives: Cutaneous abscesses are commonly treated in the emergency department (ED). Although incision and drainage (I&D) remains standard treatment, there is little high quality evidence to support additional interventions such as pain control, type of incision, use irrigation, wound cultures, packing. guidelines exist clinician management abscesses, they do not clearly specify these interventions. This study sought describe ED treatments administered adults with uncomplicated...
Background: Medical students have limited opportunities to perform and learn procedures on live patients. This is particularly concerning at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS), where graduates may be assigned an operational military unit immediately following completion internship. The authors implemented a new hybrid simulation lab for fourth-year medical consisting procedural skills training seven core emergency medicine combined with complex patient cases using...
Objective: Accomplish the first large-scale combat casualty training using multiple-modality hybrid simulation in Uniformed Services University's one-of-a-kind three-dimensional Wide Area Virtual Environment (WAVE). Methods: 91 first-year medical students (MS1) completed a WAVE session as part of their Combat Medical Skills course. In teams 6 students, they treated two casualties with blast wounds (one SimMan 3G, and another standardized patient) during15-minute scenarios WAVE. The is unique...

Objective: This study aimed to understand pediatricians’ experiences with disasters, their perceptions of potential threats, and preferences for disaster education. Design: is a survey study. Background: The increasing frequency disasters highlights the need specialized care vulnerable populations, particularly children. Pediatricians play crucial role in preparedness, but they are underprepared due insufficient disaster-specific Methods: A was conducted among pediatricians Washington, DC,...
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic upended the world. As emergency departments and hospitals across nation world braced themselves for surge of this new disease, department (ED) at Children's National Hospital (CNH) quickly created a process to address surges in patient visits follow-ups testing. Within 2 wk first reported pediatric diagnosed with COVID-19 Washington, DC, metropolitan area, CNH ED implemented comprehensive follow-up process. This article describes that...
Abstract Objectives: Assess the knowledge, confidence, and attitudes of residents toward disaster medicine education in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era. Methods: Survey distributed to pediatric at a tertiary care center, assessing confidence knowledge skills, preferred educational methods. Based on residents’ responses, virtual in-person session implemented with postsurvey analyze effectiveness education. Results: Distributed 120 51.6% response rate. Almost half (46.8%) had less than...
