What Every Pediatric Practice Manager Needs to Know About Vaccine Inventory
This is a guest post by Paul Vanchiere. He is the co-founder of Pediatric Practice Institute, a pediatric centric service company that helps practices and healthcare networks leverage their success and maximize their potential.
I recently took a trip to The Home Depot to round up some supplies for a project. While there, I noticed an army of people with laptops attached to rolling carts counting the inventory.
It got me thinking about pediatric practices and the need to ensure tight inventory controls.While Home Depot does this for a variety of tax reasons, it is also part of its program to ensure that its inventory le...

Resurgence of Vaccine-Preventable Disease: Ethics in the Pediatric Emergency Department
After a decades-long reduction in vaccine-preventable illnesses worldwide, there has been a reappearance of childhood illnesses once thought to be eradicated. This resurgence in illnesses such as polio and measles is a consequence of multifactorial events leading to decreased vaccination rates. A lack of resources in poor and war-torn countries, coupled with increasing global travel, and decisions to delay or defer vaccinations because of inaccurate studies further emphasized by media have combined to result in current state of frequent local and widespread epidemics, specifically the current outbreak of measles. As provid...

Resurgence of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in the United States: Anesthetic and Critical Care Implications.
Abstract
Vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) such as measles and pertussis are becoming more common in the United States. This disturbing trend is driven by several factors, including the antivaccination movement, waning efficacy of certain vaccines, pathogen adaptation, and travel of individuals to and from areas where disease is endemic. The anesthesia-related manifestations of many VPDs involve airway complications, cardiovascular and respiratory compromise, and unusual neurologic and neuromuscular symptoms. In this article, we will review the presentation and management of 9 VPDs most relevant to anesthesiolog...

Peer Reviewer: Dr Jennifer Ho, ID physician QLD, Australia
You are an ED doc working in Perth over schoolies week. An 18 yo man comes into ED complaining of fever, rash a “cracking headache” and body aches. He has just hopped off the plane from Bali where he spent the last 2 weeks partying, boozing and running amok. He got bitten by “loads” of mosquitoes because he forgot to take insect repellent.
On examination he looks miserable,...

A Young Boy Spent 47 Days In an ICU and Racked Up $800,000 in Medical Costs Because He Wasn ’t Vaccinated Against Tetanus
A young boy in Oregon spent 47 days in an intensive care unit (ICU), resulting in more than $800,000 in medical costs, because he was not vaccinated against tetanus, according to a case study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Case study co-author Dr. Carl Eriksson, an assistant professor of pediatric critical care at Oregon Health & Science University, who was involved in the boy’s treatment, wrote in an email to TIME that severe tetanus cases are very rare in the U.S., where vaccination effectively prevents such conditions. The boy’s illness was Oregon’s first pediat...

A War on Pediatric Care Is Putting Children at Risk
Over the past three years, COVID-19 has directly touched every aspect of our society, including children. Although less severe in children than adults, COVID-19 is now the fifth-leading cause of disease-related death among those under 19 years old. Yet, as the pandemic and its direct effects on children are easing, there are other concerns that the medical community must contend with—a problem, in large part, due to the spillover effects of misinformation and politics on pediatrics.
Today we are seeing long-established norms of basic pediatric practice being discredited and ignored, and a concerning rise in vaccine a...

Peer Reviewer Dr McBride ID physician, Wisconsin
TB affects 1/3rd of the population and one patient dies every 20 seconds from TB. Without treatment 50% of pulmonary TB patients will be dead in 5 years. In low to middle income countries both TB and HIV can be ubiquitous, poor compliance can lead to drug resistance and malnourished infants are highly susceptible. TB can be very complex and this post will hopefully give you the backbone to TB m...

The diagnosis of HIV is no longer fatal and the term AIDS is becoming less frequent. In many countries, people with HIV are living longer than those with diabetes. This post will hopefully teach the basics of a complex disease and demystify some of the potential diseases you need to consider in those who are severely immunosuppressed. While trying to be comprehensive this post can not be exhaustive (as you can imagine any patient with a low ...

Understanding Machine Learning And Deep Learning In Medicine
Algorithms, datasets, machine learning, deep learning, cognitive computing, big data, and artificial intelligence: IT expressions that took over the language of 21st-century healthcare with surprising force. If medical professionals want to get ahead of the curve, they rather get familiarized with the basics of A.I. and have an idea of what medical problems they aim to solve. So, let’s take a closer look at machine learning and deep learning in medicine.

Spotify, Joe Rogan, and Health Care
By KIM BELLARD
Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d have to write: the most interesting discussion in healthcare in the past week has been about Neil Young versus Spotify.
For those of you who have not been following the controversy, Neil Young gave Spotify an ultimatum: it could have his music or Joe Rogan, but not both. “I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.” Spotify chose Rogan.
Mr. Young was not the first to express alarm at some of the Covid “informat...

Responding to Questions from Parents with Vaccine Concerns
Vaccinations are among the most influential global public health achievements (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018; Edwards, Hackell,& COMMITTEE ON INFECTIOUS DISEASES, THE COMMITTEE ON PRACTICE AND AMBULATORY MEDICINE, 2016; Lantos et al., 2010). In fact, vaccines have successfully reduced the prevalence of vaccine-preventable diseases worldwide and are essential to global health (Greenwood, 2014; Hussein et al., 2015; Vanderslott& Roser, 2018). The administration of vaccinations has helped control many infectious diseases such as measles, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, and Haemophilus influenzae (CDC, 2018).
