Cutaneous Cytomegalovirus Growth Around a Gastrostomy Button: Not “Just” Granulation Tissue
Abstract: A 3-year-old boy with history of gastrostomy tube placement and cadaveric cytomegalovirus (CMV)-positive, renal transplant, into a CMV-negative recipient, presents because of rapidly growing hypertrophic epithelialized granulation tissue around the gastrostomy tube. The growth around the gastrostomy tube was resected and confirmed by pathology to be CMV. This case is of interest because all reported cases of cutaneous CMV have presented as ulcerations. CMV growth should be considered in the differential in a patient postrenal transplant. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgical Nursing)

Timing of Surgical Intervention for Ulcerative Colitis in Pediatric Patients
: Ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurring in up to 25% of children and adolescents, is not without significant life-altering complications either from treatment and/or from underlying disease. Treatment for IBD involves medical and/or surgical therapy. With advances in medicine and development of biologic agents in the treatment of UC, pediatric patients with IBD may be having prolonged surgical referral and clinical symptoms. However, 25%-30% of patients with chronic UC still need surgical intervention despite advanced medical therapy. Timing of surgical referral, disease status (active symp...

Multicultural Care of a Pediatric Surgical Patient Receiving Hyperthermic Intraoperative Peritoneal Chemotherapy Surgery
BACKGROUND: Caring for a patient from Russia who is having major surgery for massive abdominal cancer in a foreign country is challenging in itself.

The staff of this free-standing children's hospital located in a multicultural city of mostly Hispanic descent had to research creative strategies and partner with the mother to ensure comfortable care to the child.

Development of an Algorithm for Adolescent Bariatric Surgery
Abstract: Childhood obesity has become a national epidemic, and children are diagnosed with obesity-related comorbidities, which were once only associated with adults. Despite current interventions, children continue to exude poor diet and physical activity outcomes. The algorithm developed and described here was in congruence with a regional healthcare facility mission and goals. The final product is an adolescent weight management algorithm to include bariatric surgery for select adolescents who meet the criteria. A literature review was conducted by searching databases EBSCO, CINAHL, Bing, Google Scholar, and Academic S...

The Use of Inpatient Nurse Practitioners and Their Effect on Patient Outcomes: Literature Review
Abstract: As the nation’s healthcare systems face a worsening physician shortage, there is a need to adapt to meet the provider staffing and care demands of our ever-changing population. The nation’s physician workforce is aging with an average age of a physician being over 50 years, and the pediatric subspecialties nationwide are seeing insufficient enrollment numbers of physicians related to an increase in demand and lack of educational funding. Urban pediatric academic medical centers sit in the crosshairs of this troubling physician shortage. EBSCOhost was searched for current research and literature that examine t...

Weight Loss and Decreased Appetite in an 11-Year-Old Girl
Discussion: Trichobezoars, like many pediatric diagnoses, may present with vague, nondescript symptoms. They are more common in female adolescent patients. Providers should be prompted to obtain a thorough physical examination and patient history. In the case where a gastric bezoar is suspected, surgical treatment may be necessary. Radiologic imaging can be helpful to confirm diagnosis of trichobezoar and to direct the treatment plan. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgical Nursing)
