Food is more than fuel. Its culture, comfort, connection and, increasingly, a source of confusion for families. Parents ask questions shaped by headlines, influencers and evolving dietary guidelines. Pediatricians aren't simply monitoring growth curves, they are helping families navigate a complex nutrition environment that influences children's health now and long into adulthood. In this episode, we explore how to navigate today's dietary landscape with clarity, compassion and evidence-based tools you can use in everyday practice, highlighting the importance of healthy eating.  This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor at the 2025 American Academy of Pediatrics Conference in Denver, Colorado. Praveen Goday, MD, is a gastroenterologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital, as well as the director of their nutrition and feeding programs. He is also a clinical professor at Ohio State University. Some highlights from this episode include: The current dietary landscape and the role of outside influences How the idea of health has changed throughout the years What best practices parents can use to positively influence their children  Hopes for the future of nutrition       For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

If people were given a resource that laid out the chronology of immunization, would they still vaccinate? Billions of people, all across the world, have either received a shot or been recommended to get one. And every day, novel injections are being developed, tested and rolled out to the public. While many are refused proper informed consent, others remain ignorant to the dangers of these products because of censorship. That is why Shaz Khan has written a tool, referencing over fifteen hundred years worth of information, pertaining to the timeline of vaccination. This essential resource is made for everyone — whether a parent or practitioner, student or scientist, representative or researcher.

Dr. De Luca discusses the groundbreaking Lancet Child & Adolescent Health Commission on the Future of Neonatology, a three-year initiative involving over 100 global key opinion leaders addressing the critical innovation gap in our specialty. He explores why neonatal medicine has experienced a slowdown in therapeutic advances since the 1990s, despite treating patients who will become citizens for decades ahead. The conversation covers the multifactorial barriers to innovation—from regulatory challenges to funding constraints—and the Commission's comprehensive recommendations for industry, regulators, academic centers, and patient representatives. Dr. De Luca emphasizes the urgent need to avoid treating babies in 20 years the same way we did 20 years ago, highlighting specific examples like the decades-long journey from drug development to registration and the paradox of FDA-approved equipment. He calls for a united approach to elevate neonatology's profile, establish formal specialty recognition, and accelerate the translation of research into bedside care.  Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Changing federal guidance on vaccines has Connecticut health officials in an uproar. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine committee recently altered long-standing guidance on how newborns are vaccinated. Meanwhile, doctors say more patients fear vaccine side effects, which doctors are addressing on a case-by-case basis during consultations. Public health experts are concerned that fear and confusion could bring back diseases that the U.S. had forgotten. We’ll dig into the history of vaccines in America, check in with Connecticut doctors and ask the state's top public health official what's next. Guests: Jason L Schwartz: associate professor at the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Yale School of Public Health; associate Professor in the History of Medicine, Yale University.

ECMO is the topic of this week's episode of Pediheart. We speak with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and cardiac critical care specialist at Northwell Health, Dr. Ivana Capin about a recent ELSO database study she conducted to assess outcomes in single ventricle patients who were treated with ECMO prior to single ventricle palliation. What factors were associated with worse overall outcomes? Can this therapy be used to stabilize the HLHS patient with an intact atrial septum? Why have outcomes for this high risk patient group not appreciably improved in the recent decade? How can these data improve prognostic clarity when speaking with families in this difficult situation.Also joining us briefly is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Dr. Scott Aydin to discuss his co-author and mentor, Dr. George Ofori-Amanfo as we approach the 4th anniversary of his untimely and tragic passing. DOI: 10.1017/S1047951125001386

Dr. Catherine Allan, Director of the Cardiac Care Unit and Inpatient Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic joins us to talk about readiness for teams to perform pediatric ECMO, a high-risk, high-complexity therapy that staff might only see a third as often as they see patients on ventilators. ECMO can also be called for during CPR, which greatly increases the time pressure and complexity of the procedure. During ECPR, there is not only the ICU resuscitation microteam but also the surgical team and the perfusion team, leading to potentially having up to 20 people working in the room when running an ECPR case. We discuss how leaders can help connect seemingly imposed efforts like checklists and huddles to what it is that frontline workers are trying to achieve and are meaningful to them, and how simulation program designers must do the same in order to make sure that training is not a top-down checklist but rather a mutually owned process that gets teams where they believe they need to go.

Pediatric emergency medicine physician Bronwen Carroll discusses her article, "The childhood risk we never talk about." Bronwen explains the staggering data showing child sexual abuse is far more common than many other hazards (like choking or drowning) that parents routinely prioritize for prevention. She explores why this epidemic of sexual abuse lives in the shadows: the topic feels taboo and the solutions often seem vague compared to installing a car seat. Bronwen breaks down a practical, three-pronged approach to child safety, focusing on access, compliance, and (most critically) secrecy. She provides a simple, non-threatening, and powerful conversation starter for all parents: teaching children that no adult should ever ask them to keep a secret, and clarifying the crucial difference between a harmful "secret" and a happy "surprise." Learn the essential strategies every parent needs to know to start this difficult conversation and empower their kids.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 📝 Introduction Welcome to the Rebel Core Content Blog, where we delve into crucial knowledge for emergency medicine. Today, we share insightful tips from PEM specialist Dr. Elise Perelman, shedding light on respiratory challenges in infants, toddlers, and young children during the viral season. Understanding that most cases involve typical viruses, we aim to equip you with diagnostic pearls to identify more serious pathologies. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 🔍 Recognizing Respiratory Patterns Pearl #1: Look at Your PatientBegin exams from the doorway. Observing patterns such as accessory muscle usage can reveal a patient’s respiratory effort. Specify whether the work of breathing occurs during inspiration, expiration, or both. Inspiratory work indicates difficulty getting air in, while expiratory work suggests trouble pushing air out. Silent tachypnea may point to other issues, like acidemia or pneumothorax. 🩺 Localizing Sounds for Accurate Diagnosis Pearl #2: Localize the SoundBreathing noises signal varied respiratory issues. Stridor, often heard on inspiration, results from obstructions above the thoracic inlet. Conversely, wheezing, generally linked to exhalation, indicates obstructions in the lower airways. Watch for signs like ‘silent chest’—a dangerous, severe obstruction, and distinguish grunting as a bodily mechanism to prevent alveolar collapse. Correctly identifying the sound assists in determining the appropriate intervention. 💉 Tailoring Treatment for Effective Results Once a sound is localized, treatments vary. We explore Soder from nasal congestion, typically needing supportive care and suctioning. Stridor from conditions like croup is eased with interventions to reduce airway swelling, such as steroids or inhaled epinephrine. Conversely, wheezing in infants is often due to bronchiolitis—not bronchospasms—and over-treatment is to be avoided. Supportive measures including suction, hydration, and oxygen are preferred unless improvement warrants bronchodilators. 🌬️ Intervening with Severe Asthma In severe cases of asthma or bronchiolitis, where standard at-home treatments fail, immediate adjunct therapies like intramuscular epinephrine become essential. Administering this quickly can alleviate obstruction when inhalants aren’t effective due to low air movement. 🦓 Navigating the Zebras of Respiratory Cases When recognizing Zebras—uncommon cases overshadowed by routine diagnoses—remain vigilant for histories or presentations that don’t conform. Conditions like pneumonia, bacterial tracheitis, and even myocarditis may mimic more common issues. 📌 Conclusion As attending physicians, our role extends beyond conventional treatment—it’s about discerning the atypical from the typical. Dr. Perelman urges continual reassessment, emphasizing reliance on observational skills as much as technological aid. Keeping keen on respiratory nuances ensures we catch those outlier cases, paving the way for adept medical care despite the overwhelming prevalence of viral infections.Stay tuned for more pearls and insights in our future posts, as Dr. Perelman shares further strategies for effective pediatric emergency care. For more resources, continue exploring our faculty’s valuable contributions on our site. Until then, stay safe and perceptive in your practice.

Pediatric anesthesiologist Irim Salik discusses her article, "The hidden danger in pediatric dental offices." Irim reveals a terrifying oversight in ambulatory pediatric dental care: children are suffering neurologic injuries or dying during routine sedation, and there is no national database to track these adverse events. She explains how the convenience of office-based procedures (versus hospitals) introduces massive risks, including the "single provider model" where the dentist also directs anesthesia. Irim breaks down how inadequate monitoring (like lacking EtCO2 monitors), oversedation, and the inability to manage a respiratory emergency can lead to catastrophe. Learn what every parent needs to know about pediatric dental anesthesia and the fight for stricter national safety standards. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Dr Kline is an attending physician and director of Clinical Research in the Department of Neuro-Oncology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. In our exclusive interview, Dr Kline discussed longer-term efficacy and safety data from the trial, noting the sustained response rates, continued tumor shrinkage, and rates of patients who remained treatment free after approximately 36 months of follow-up. _____ That's all we have for today!

Today we hear from Dr. Maria Rutmann, founder of Lionheart Direct Primary Care in northern Maine. She discusses the transformative power of the Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic model as physician burnout and healthcare system challenges escalate nationwide. Dr. Rutmann shares her journey from working in a traditional fee-for-service hospital group - where mounting administrative demands and loss of autonomy led to emotional exhaustion - to reclaiming her purpose and joy in medicine through DPC.Listeners learn how Lionheart DPC empowers physicians to practice value-based care by fostering lasting patient-physician relationships, personalizing health experiences, and eliminating the barriers of insurance-driven healthcare. Dr. Rutmann emphasizes that DPC not only improves healthcare access in rural areas, but also allows doctors the time and freedom to provide comprehensive, preventative, and patient-centered care. Families in her community have experienced the convenience and rapid responsiveness of the DPC model, sometimes avoiding costly and time-consuming ER visits and walk-ins thanks to direct communication and same-day appointments.This episode also highlights how DPC serves as a solution to physician burnout, supporting practitioners to reconnect with their sense of purpose, maximize patient outcomes, and enjoy professional autonomy. Listeners considering DPC - from those facing moral injury in fee-for-service settings, to those interested in community-driven, flexible healthcare - will find practical advice, heartfelt encouragement, and proof that a better way in healthcare is not only possible, but thriving.Keywords: physician burnout, healthcare access, direct primary care, DPC, value-based care, physician autonomy, patient-centered care, rural healthcare, medical practice models, Lionheart Direct Primary Care.Learn about healthcare for your own family and about health shares today!

This week we review the topic of mitral annular disjunction ("MAD") and the possible association with ventricular arrhythmia or sudden death in the connective tissue disease patient. Is there a 'cut off' distance above which patients deserve more significant arrhythmia surveillance? What is the best way to measure the MAD distance? Can patients with low MAD distances have lower degrees or even no arrhythmic surveillance? How often should this distance be measured on CMR and can an echo measurement provide similar data? Dr. Daniel Castellanos, the first author of this work and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School shares his deep insights this week.DOI: 10.1016/j.jocmr.2025.101954

Send us a textWhen it comes to infant sleep, few topics are more misunderstood—or more burdened by cultural myths—than the expectation that babies should “sleep through the night.” Pediatric sleep and development specialist and author of Rest Assured: The Heart and Science of Nurturing Baby Sleep, Louise Herbert, joins us to explain what's really happening in a baby's body and brain during sleep.Louise breaks down the biology of circadian rhythms, sleep pressure, and night wakings—clarifying when frequent waking is normal, what can sometimes underlie it, and why responsiveness and proximity are protective, not problematic. We also explore how stress and separation impact early brain development, why sleep training often overlooks fundamental physiology, and how parents can align their routines with their baby's natural rhythms to improve sleep for everyone.This conversation replaces confusion and guilt with evidence and understanding, helping parents see night wakings as a feature of healthy development—not a flaw to fix.Mouthernourishnuture on InstagramLouise Herbert: Rest Assured ********** Needed
