3D fusion imaging assisted carotid artery stenting is safe and feasible.
CONCLUSIONS: Carotid stenting with 3D fusion in this pilot study was safe and feasible. 3D fusion techniques using either CTA or MRA allowed a significant reduction of contrast volume but did not reduce radiation dose or exposure time. Larger prospective studies of CAS with 3D fusion imaging in patients with renal insufficiency or mild allergy to contrast are warranted.

Interactions between dietary habits and home environmental exposures on respiratory symptoms in Romanian school children: an analysis of data from the SINPHONIE project.
In this study, we investigated the interactions between household pollutants and dietary habits on children's respiratory health. Our cross-sectional study collected self-reported information including health symptoms (allergy-like, asthma-like, and flu-like symptoms), home characteristics, dietary habits, and demographic information from questionnaires administered to parents of 280 school children in Romania. Unconditional logistic regression and stratified analyses were used to assess the interactions between dietary factors and environmental exposures on health symptoms among children, controlling for sociodemographic ...

Anaphylaxis at school. Are we prepared? Could we improve?
CONCLUSIONS: Prior to the intervention their knowledge was insufficient, but it improved considerably after simple training. It also increased the confidence of the staff, which will be decisive when responding to an anaphylactic reaction. We believe that a compulsory training programme should be implemented universally in all schools.

Is the concept of “peanut-free schools” useful in the routine management of peanut-allergic children at risk of anaphylaxis?
ConclusionIn order to address the fears and concerns of patients, parents, and school staff, it is mandatory to develop various coping strategies. These should enable and ensure the safety and participation of food-allergic pupils in classes and other school activities. Therefore, it is important to implement adequate measures for allergen avoidance and emergency treatment for students with confirmed food allergies.

Teaching and assessing endoscopic sinus surgery skills on a validated low‐cost task trainer
Conclusions:The sinus surgery task trainer provides an effective means of teaching and evaluating nasal endoscopy and basic sinus surgery skills for novice surgeons. With repeated practice, there was significant improvement in performance. An OSATS using the sinus surgery task trainer suggests that we can effectively measure endoscopic sinus surgery ability with the potential to reliably determine competency outside the operating room.

A Wake Up Call…with an Objective Structured Clinical Examination
I do believe the status quo just will not do anymore. There is mounting evidence that the way we have always done things in clinical education does not work. How do I know this? In a recent voluntary five-station objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), students routinely did not use two methods of identification before giving medications to a patient, did not check name bands, did not wear gloves for injections, and did not assess allergy bands prior to medication administration. Ten Students gave an intramuscular medication in the correct site. Students did not know how to assess breath sounds; some did not know...

Obituary: Leonard Apt, 90, doctor-scientist who gave gift of vision to millions of children
Internationally respected UCLA eye surgeon Dr. Leonard Apt, who co-developed an inexpensive antiseptic eye drop that substantially reduced the incidence of blindness in children in developing countries, died Feb. 1 at UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, after a brief illness. He was 90.
A founding member of the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and an emeritus professor of ophthalmology, Apt was the first physician in the world to become board-certified in both pediatrics and ophthalmology. He devoted his career to preventing blindness in children.
Together with longtime collaborator Dr. Sherwin Isenberg, Apt ...

Newly identified natural protein blocks HIV, other deadly viruses
A team of UCLA-led researchers has identified a protein with broad virus-fighting properties that potentially could be used as a weapon against deadly human pathogenic viruses such as HIV, Ebola, Rift Valley Fever, Nipah and others designated "priority pathogens" for national biosecurity purposes by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.
In a study published in the January issue of the journal Immunity, the researchers describe the novel antiviral property of the protein, cholesterol-25-hydroxylase (CH25H), an enzyme that converts cholesterol to an oxysterol called 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), wh...

What Causes Spontaneous Pneumothorax?
Discussion
“A pneumothorax is a collection of air in the pleural space, and it can be categorized into spontaneous, traumatic or iatrogenic. Spontaneous pneumothorax can be further classified into primary with no clinical evidence of underlying lung disease or secondary due to pre-existing lung disease.”
Spontaneous pneumothorax is a condition that is relatively rare in pediatrics. There is a bimodal age distribution – neonates and late adolescence. It is caused by tearing of the visceral pleural. Clinical signs include chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, tracheal deviation towards contralateral side, hypot...

Aspirin sensitivity does not compromise quality of life outcomes in patients with Samter's triad
ConclusionAlthough Samter's triad patients present with more severe disease and are more likely to undergo revision surgery, they have postoperative quality‐of‐life outcomes that are comparable to patients with eCRSwP who are not aspirin sensitive. This is the first study to utilize a disease‐specific, validated outcomes instrument in comparing Samter's triad patients with aspirin tolerant patients who have nasal polyposis and tissue eosinophilia.

Asthma diagnosis and severity monitoring in primary school children: Essential role of sequential testing of exhaled nitric oxide.
CONCLUSION: FeNO is an easy, used non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of allergic asthma. Sequential FeNO testing can accurately reflect asthma severity and provide for successful stepwise therapy for asthmatic children.

Sending your kid to college? Think about their health too.
For families that are sending their teens to college this fall, summer is full of anticipation and planning. There’s so much to buy and pack and think about that sometimes parents forget to think about something really important: their health.
As parents, we are in charge of our child’s health—their diet, their exercise, their medications and what happens when they get sick. But when teens leave home, we need to be sure they can handle these things, and make good decisions, by themselves. Not that we can’t help out. I get lots of phone calls from my college-aged kids about health stuff, but it’s different when ...
