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.

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.

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.

What does it mean to live with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Amish and Mennonite communities, where many families don't use phones, computers, or even electricity? For some, this means relying on handwritten letters for communication, trying herbal remedies before conventional medicine, and declining treatments like lung transplants or in vitro fertilization because of cultural and religious beliefs.Update State CF Center (Syracuse, NY) Social Worker Lejla Bush, who has worked with the CF community for over a decade, shares how Amish and Mennonite families navigate CF while staying true to their traditions. She explains the unique challenges, from financial hurdles without health insurance, to hospital care that must adapt to cultural practices, and the vital role of community support in helping families face this disease.Most importantly, Lejla reminds us that while the cultural context is different, Amish and Mennonite parents hold the same hopes, fears, and love for their children as any other family affected by CF.This episode opens a window into the powerful intersection of culture, medicine, and resilience.We did a Q and A with some people in the Amish and Mennonite communities. Thanks to Lejla for sharing so much information about the Amish and Mennonite communities.To see a letter of Q and A with one of the Amish patients click here: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/AmishLetter.jpg Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en
Despite evidence that adverse drug events manifest with greater severity in pediatric populations than in adults, fewer than 50% of drugs have been systematically studied for pediatric use. The lack of robust drug safety data may result in suboptimal or harmful treatment strategies. Saurabh Rahurkar and Pallavi Jonnalagadda share their team's efforts to address this issue. This podcast and article specifically address the use of benzonatate in pediatric patients.

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
Vermont ranks as one of the most active states in the country, according to the CDC. It makes sense for a state filled with mountains, trails, and a huge lake. Outdoor activities keep our population healthy, but some of the most beloved activities pose risks, especially to our brains, like hockey, climbing, skiing, and snowboarding.We hear tips from injury prevention expert Tara Grenier on how to lower your risk of brain injury, including the proper way to wear a helmet. Pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Katrina Ducis explains what a concussion is, and how concussion treatment recommendations have changed in recent years. And Jess Leal, executive director of the Brain Injury Alliance of Vermont, shares how her organization helps connect traumatic brain injury survivors with support and resources.Broadcast live on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.Have questions, comments or tips?

Send us a textWelcome to episode 1 of our series- IBD Can Eat Me guest hosted by Stacey Collins, IBD RD. In this series, Stacey will interview other Dietitians who also specialize in IBD. This week we welcomed Venus Kalami- board-certified pediatric Dietitian Nutritionist! What if the strict diet you're told to follow does more harm than good? We sit down with pediatric dietitian Venus to unpack how nutrition in IBD can support health without sacrificing joy, culture, or family life. From Stanford Children's IBD and celiac center to medical affairs and public education, Venus brings a rare mix of clinical depth and human warmth—and she doesn't shy away from hard truths.We dig into the pressure families feel to “do everything,” the overuse of restrictive therapeutic diets, and the real risks that come with them: malnutrition, ARFID, pediatric feeding disorders, and lasting food trauma. Venus shares a clear way to tell the difference between a transient food reaction and an inflammatory flare, helping patients step off the rollercoaster of fear and over-correction. She also shows how to make care culturally inclusive with simple, powerful questions: What do you like? What do you cook? What feels doable at home? It's a move from generic handouts to plans that honor heritage foods and real life.You'll hear a vivid case study where a patient referred for low FODMAP improved dramatically without elimination—just lactase with dairy, spreading fruit across the day, and changing other patterns developed from past food trauma. We talk about involving mental health early, “asking around the ask” when supplements come up, and borrowing pediatric best practices for adults who shouldn't have to navigate IBD alone. The theme running through it all: patients deserve permission to dream beyond survival. Biomarkers matter, but so do birthdays, travel, and the comfort foods that make you feel at home.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a gentler path, and leave a review to help more people find evidence-based, humane IBD care.

Mark Fadel, MD joins this episode of Head & Neck Innovations to discuss recent advances and innovations he is excited about as he starts his practice in pediatric otolaryngology. Advancements in medical treatments like Dupixent and Trikafta are transforming care for children with allergic rhinitis and cystic fibrosis—reducing the need for surgery and improving outcomes.
In this episode of The Pediatric Pharmacist Review, we explore the phenomenon of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and its relevance to children, adolescents, and families. Our guest, Tim Horton, is a seasoned psychiatric nurse‑practitioner (APRN, CNP) and founder of PeopleFirst Clinic in Woodbury, Minnesota, where he specializes in holistic, medication‑management and therapy‑integrated care for youth and adults. With his unique background in pediatric mental health, patient‑centered approaches, and collaborative provider work, Tim brings deep insight into how biological and environmental factors converge in seasonal depression—and what practical actions caregivers and clinicians can take to mitigate its impact. Key Discussion Points: Biological & Environmental Contributors: We unpack how changes in daylight exposure, circadian rhythm shifts, neurotransmitter variations (serotonin, melatonin), and geographic/seasonal factors contribute to SAD in children and teens. Lifestyle & Environmental Interventions: Tim and I discuss actionable strategies such as structured light‑exposure (dawn simulators, 10,000 lux boxes), daily outdoor activity, consistent sleep schedules, and nutritional supports (timing of meals, nutrient‑dense foods, healthy fats) to reduce symptom severity. Treatment Options & Efficacy: We review standard of care for SAD—starting with behavioral and lifestyle measures, then progressing to light therapy and pharmacologic treatment (SSRIs, SNRIs, augmentation) when needed, including considerations unique to pediatric populations. Vitamin D and Seasonal Depression: We examine the evidence linking vitamin D deficiency with increased SAD risk, discuss screening thresholds in younger patients, supplementation strategies, and how this fits into a broader preventive mindset. Preventive Measures Ahead of Winter: Tim outlines a pre‑winter readiness plan—adjusting indoor lighting, optimizing outdoor daylight exposure, establishing routine exercise, reinforcing healthy diet patterns, and monitoring early warning signs for a proactive response. Misconceptions and Under‑Recognition: We address common myths—such as SAD only occurring in extreme northern latitudes, or that “it's just the blues” and will self‑resolve—highlighting how under‑recognition in pediatric settings can delay helpful intervention.

After noticing that their 20 month old son Jacob was wobbling while walking and had fallen to the ground in February of 2024 , Jocelyn Espinoza and Samuel Steward, took their son first to a doctor in Tijuana Mexico, and shortly thereafter to Rady's Children's Hospital in San Diego where he was diagnosed with the Pediatric Brain Cancer ATRT. It has been over a year and a half since Jacob's diagnosis, and he is currently doing very well and living the life of a very active 3 1/2 year old boy.
In this episode, Diane Constantine, MBA, MSN, NI-BC, NEA-BC, Senior Director of Informatics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, discusses using informatics to enhance clinician efficiency, promote well-being, and integrate AI responsibly to strengthen both patient outcomes and the human side of care.
Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 11-13-2025: Dr. Dawn discusses a New England Journal of Medicine study examining radiation exposure from medical imaging in over 4 million children showing increased hematological cancer risk. Head and brain CTs deliver highest bone marrow doses, with under-1-year-olds receiving 20 milligrays compared to background radiation of 1 milligray yearly. The study found 3,000 cancers in 4 million children over roughly 10 years, with relative risk increasing 1.6-fold per CT scan. However, methodological flaws include combining US and Canadian cohorts with different data quality, potential reverse causation where imaging detected pre-existing cancers, and arbitrary 6-month latency assumptions are significant flaws in this study.. Despite small absolute risk increases given low baseline cancer rates, she encourages parents to question necessity of repeat scans and request alternatives like MRI when appropriate. She reports on cutting-edge CRISPR therapy using lipid nanoparticles to deliver molecular scissors targeting the ANGPTL3 gene controlling LDL cholesterol production. Recent setbacks in several other CRISPR trials raise issues for unexplained liver toxicity. Concerns include off-target gene editing effects and partially repaired DNA creating mutated proteins triggering autoimmune reactions. Dr. Dawn emphasizes restricting gene therapy to life-threatening genetic diseases with no alternatives until safety improves. Stanford scientists used AI model Evo trained on 9 trillion gene samples to design 300 new bacteriophages from scratch, with 16 phages successfully killing E. coli bacteria. AI tools now predict protein structures, design custom drugs, create antivenoms, invent antibiotics, and break down PFAS forever chemicals. The research represents evolution through computation and requires guardrails on AI's ability to manipulate biological structures. An emailer shares the Rosencare model where hotel chain owner Harris Rosen created self-insured health coverage featuring direct provider contracting, imaging facilities charging one-third to one-half traditional costs, transparent pharmacy benefit management, and zero or $5 primary care copays. Employees receive proactive screening for colonoscopies, mammograms, cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension during clinic visits. Ninety percent of medicines including insulin cost nothing, with remaining drugs $0-25, and hospital admissions cost flat $750. The model saved $600 million while providing superior preventive care by eliminating insurance middlemen and focusing on early chronic disease detection when 75-85% of costs originate. Dr. Dawn explains abdominophrenic dyssynergia causing bloating unrelated to gas or food. The diaphragm descends and abdominal wall muscles relax, pushing organs forward after meals. CT scans showed lettuce-related bloating involved no intestinal gas changes but demonstrated this abnormal muscle reflex. Randomized trials showed biofeedback training with chest-lifting and abdominal wall contracting exercises before and after eating for four weeks improved symptoms 66%. She warns that constant bloating in postmenopausal women unrelated to eating requires ovarian cancer screening. She discusses how genes drive personality using dopamine receptor gene DRD4 polymorphisms as an example. The 7-repeat variant present in 48% of Americans creates receptors binding dopamine poorly, associating with ADHD, pathological gambling, alcoholism, drug dependence, and bulimia, plus personality traits of novelty-seeking, impulsiveness, and optimism. The 2-repeat DRD4 variant common in Asia correlates with lower anger and higher forgiveness. DRD2 variations enhance the memory of negative outcomes, creating pessimistic bias and avoidance behavior. She presents the KETO trial showing "lean mass hyper-responder phenotype" where very low-carbohydrate dieters averaging age 55 maintained LDL cholesterol of 272 for five years but showed identical coronary artery calcium scores and plaque burden as matched controls with LDL under 150. Despite extreme LDL elevation, the very low insulin levels from carbohydrate restriction prevent LDL oxidation, the inflammatory "loading" process enabling arterial damage. She concludes with unusual cancer symptom where recurrent pain in specific body locations after alcohol consumption, lasting 1-2 days, occurs in 5% of Hodgkin lymphoma patients and in other cancers when alcohol induced blood vessel dilation and inflammatory chemical release in cancer-containing lymph nodes causes pain after drinking.
This week we review a recent retrospective review from Phoenix Children's Hospital about coronary artery fistulae. How common are they and who needed intervention? How should the cardiologist think about the small fistula? Should they all be ‘followed' or can they be discharged from cardiology follow-up? How small is ‘small enough'? We speak with Dr. Marie Chevenon who is a fetal cardiologist at Phoenix Children's Hospital about her recent study on the Phoenix experience with coronary artery fistulae. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00246-024-03600-y
