The Intersection of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Food Allergy, and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: A Clinical Case Study
“B K” was a 10-year-old male who presented for evaluation and treatment by our multidisciplinary pediatric feeding team located in the Southeast United States. He presented with formula dependence and total food refusal. B and his family traveled from a different region of the US to access subsp ecialty care due to the medical urgency of B’s feeding problems. He was receiving 100% of his nutritional needs from hypoallergenic formula and accepted a limited number of foods (e.g., beef jerky, chicken wings) by mouth that he would masticate but spit out before swallowing.

Educational Continuity: The Importance of Expanding School programs in Hospital Settings
Maintaining a routine is important for all children, especially when they are in the hospital1. Young patients whose lives are marked by illness undergo treatments often characterized by rigorous care protocols, subjecting them to invasive medical procedures, repeated and prolonged hospital stays, and forced separation from familiar environments such as their home or school2. Hospitalized children lose the routine that marked their time before the diagnosis and often experience isolation from family and friends for varying, repeated periods.

Letter to the Editor on Cross-Protection of RotaTeq
Ma et al estimated the effectiveness of RotaTeq™ (pentavalent rotavirus vaccine, RV5), containing human bovine reassortants G1, G2, G3, G4, and P[8], against rotavirus gastroenteritis at 97% (95% CI, 83%-100%) in a cohort of children (14 weeks to 2 years of age) predominantly infected (79%) with G8P [8], in Shanghai, China.1 RV5 has been shown to be efficacious and effective across geographic settings, time-periods, and strains, but protection of RV5 against a G8 strain had been demonstrated previously only in Africa.
