Pediatric Patient Diagnosed With Testicular and Peritoneal Mesothelioma Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: From a Father's Asbestos Exposure?
Malignant mesotheliomas are aggressive neoplasms, which are rare, especially in the pediatric population. Unlike malignant mesotheliomas most commonly seen in adults, those of the peritoneum and testicle in children do not appear to be as strongly associated with direct asbestos exposure and have an unpredictable biologic behavior requiring individual treatment strategies. There may, however, be an association between children with malignant mesothelioma and asbestos-exposed household members. Herein, we report a very rare case of a 15-year-old male adolescent who presented with testicular pain, redness, and swelling and w...

Overcoming Barriers to Human Papillomavirus Vaccination
Discussion As control is gained over the pandemic, it is anticipated that regular provider visits will increase back to normal and therefore vaccination rates will recover as well. The findings from this study can be used to create or modify current practices in clinics anywhere that the HPV vaccination is administered. Future studies and trials should be implemented for a longer period, and not during a pandemic, ideally to yield more statistically significant results.

Timing Is Everything! Fertility Preservation Process From Patient Cancer Diagnosis Through Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation to the Start of Treatment
Children diagnosed with cancer today can expect a greater than 80% chance of 5-year survival. Childhood cancer survivors are significantly more likely to be infertile or have difficulty getting pregnant than their siblings. Studies have shown that infertility is one of the primary concerns of cancer survivors. Fertility preservation (FP) completed before treatment starts gives the patient the best fertility potential for a biological child in the future. Infertility is a significant risk factor for those treated with gonadotoxic therapy for cancer in childhood or adolescence. Infertility risk counseling and FP procedures m...

Prescription for Success: An Initiative to Increase Safe Disposal of Narcotics at Home
Discussion Implementation of a standardized educational practice for the families of patients being discharged with narcotic medication resulted in an increased awareness of safe disposal of narcotics and an increase in dispensing of activated-carbon-based deactivation kits. Ultimately, this resulted in the families having a greater confidence in caring for their children at discharge as reported on patient satisfaction surveys.

Name the Diagnosis: X-Ray Revelations
A 9-year-old male presents to the emergency department with abdominal pain, emesis, fever, and generalized peritonitis. Computed tomography images are reviewed and reveal the diagnosis of foreign body magnet ingestion. Surgical and post-operative management are discussed, including readmission due to repeat foreign body ingestion. Pica, defined as compulsive ingestion of nonedible substances, is described. The case report illustrates the importance of a comprehensive history and being wary of potential repeat ingestions in patients with pica. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgical Nursing)

Pressure Injuries Related to the Use of Compression Stockings in Pediatric Surgical Patients
This article describes an adolescent patient who developed pressure injuries from prolonged compression stocking use. Although other pressure injury prevention techniques were completed by nursing, the lack of knowledge regarding the risk of pressure injuries from compression stockings resulted in a poor outcome. As a result of this event, practice changes were implemented on the pediatric surgical unit to prevent reoccurrence. The practice changes included removal of compression stockings once per shift to assess extremities, daily replacement of new stockings, and utilization of sequential compression devices as the pref...

Clinical Uniform Management and Contact Nursing Care to Children Under the Age of 3: Microbiological Contamination Risk
This study aims to identify the relationship between nursing care, in which there is contact between the clinical uniforms or scrubs, and patients up to 3 years old, the way nurses manage their uniforms, and the microorganisms present. Method A quantitative, descriptive–correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 24 pediatric nurses, who filled out demographic surveys and from whom microbiological collections of their clinical uniforms were obtained. In this study, clinical uniforms refer to uniforms, specialized clothing, scrubs, laboratory coats, or whatever is worn by the pediatric nurse...

Clostridioides difficile: Diagnostic Probabilities in a Pediatric Surgery Case Over Time
The purpose of this article is to present an exemplar related to diagnostic testing whereby reasoned decisions can assist the pediatric surgical clinician in the expeditious screening, diagnosis, and management of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). In 2017, the Emerging Infections Program for CDI reported that the incidence of healthcare-associated CDI was 9.03 in 100,000 and 26.70 for community-associated CDI in the 1- to 17-year age group. Multistate prevalence data looking at healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) in acute care hospitals showed that C. difficile was the most common pathogen, causing 12.1% of HC...
