BACKGROUND: Despite its efficacy, rational guidance for starting/stopping first-line biologic treatment in individual pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) patients is needed. We assessed how serum immune profiles before and after first-line infliximab (FL-IFX) or conventional (CONV) induction therapy associate with disease remission at week 52. MATERIAL AND METHODS: pre- (n=86), and 10-14 week post-treatment (n=84) sera were collected from patients with moderate-to-severe paediatric CD in the TISKids trial, randomised to FL-IFX (n=48; five 5 mg/kg infusions over 22 weeks) or CONV (n=43; exclusive enteral nutrition or oral prednisolone); both groups received azathioprine maintenance...

Central Nervous System (CNS) embryonal tumors represent a heterogeneous group of highly aggressive tumors occurring preferentially in children but also described in adolescents and adults. In 2021, the CNS World Health Organization (WHO) classification drastically changed the diagnosis of the other CNS embryonal tumors including new histo-molecular tumor types. Here, we report a pediatric case of a novel tumor type among the other CNS embryonal tumors classified within the methylation class "CNS Embryonal Tumor with BRD4-LEUTX Fusion"...

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth adversely impacts brain development and contributes to neurodevelopmental impairment; the temporal lobe may be particularly vulnerable to the impact of very preterm (VP) birth. Yet, no prior magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring system incorporated a method to quantify temporal lobe size in VP infants. METHODS: We developed and applied three metrics (temporal lobe length, extra-axial space, and temporal horn width) to quantify temporal lobe structure on term-equivalent brain MRIs obtained from 74 VP and 16 term infants...

INTRODUCTION: Due to a national policy change in the management of unused platelet units from September 2018, there was a drastic increase in the number of platelet units wasted in our institution. METHODS: Using Quality Improvement (QI) tools, platelet wastages from pediatric heart surgeries was identified as a priority area to work on. An intervention based on the creation of 'Order Sets' for pediatric open-heart surgeries was implemented, standardizing standby platelet orders based on type of surgery and patient weight...

BACKGROUND: Trainee autonomy has eroded over time as surgery has become more subspecialized and as attending oversight has increased, causing many trainees to seek additional fellowship training beyond residency. Less clear is whether there are cases that attendings view as "fellowship-level" or "privileged" cases in which resident-level trainees should not have high levels of autonomy due to complexity or high-stakes outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We sought to better understand current attitudes and practices with regards to trainee autonomy in hypospadias repair as it represents a high complexity procedure within pediatric urology...

BACKGROUND: Hair at the gluteal cleft plays a key role in the development and recurrence of pilonidal disease (PD). We hypothesized that more hair reduction achieved using laser could correlate with lower chance of PD recurrence. METHODS: PD patients who underwent laser epilation (LE) were categorized by Fitzpatrick skin type, hair color, and hair thickness. Photos taken at LE sessions were compared to determine hair reduction amount. LE sessions completed prior to the recurrences were recorded...

PURPOSE: Transverse deficiency (TD) and symbrachydactyly may be difficult to distinguish due to shared phenotypes and a lack of pathognomonic features. The 2020 Oberg-Manske-Tonkin classification update modified these anomalies to include "with ectodermal elements" for symbrachydactyly and "without ectodermal elements" for TD as a defining differentiating characteristic. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize ectodermal elements and the level of deficiency and to examine whether ectodermal elements versus the level of deficiency was a greater determining factor for Congenital Upper Limb Differences (CoULD) surgeons making the diagnosis...

Over the past few years, there have been concerted efforts to increase diversity in the field of dermatology. This has been achieved through the creation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in dermatology organizations that strive to provide resources and opportunities for trainees who are underrepresented in medicine. This article compiles the ongoing DEI initiatives in the American Academy of Dermatology, Women's Dermatologic Society, Association of Professors of Dermatology Society, Society for Investigative Dermatology, Skin of Color Society, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, The Dermatology Section of the National Medical Association, and Society for Pediatric Dermatology...

REVIEW
Karina Grullon, Victoria Barbosa
Health disparities exist in marginalized patient populations throughout medical specialties, including in dermatology. It is important that the physician workforce reflect the diversity of the US population to address these disparities. At present, the dermatology workforce does not reflect the racial or ethnic diversity of the US population. The subspecialties of pediatric dermatology, dermatopathology, and dermatologic surgery are even less diverse than the dermatology workforce as a whole. Although women make up over half of the population of dermatologists, disparities still exists in areas such as compensation and presence in leadership positions...
