5590 Children as Victims of Bioterrorism: Protecting the Fragile Host
Chairs: Phyllis Dennery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, CA and Tina Lee Cheng, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
With the recent world events and new threats of biowarfare, what should pediatricians know? Due to their size and physiology, children are at higher risk of injury from bioterrorism. This session will address the biology, clinical manifestations, and possible preventive strategies for likely biowarfare agents. The unique vulnerability of the child will be addressed.

Topic Symposium
5700 Cancer, Blood and the Kidney: Common Themes
Chair: Ellis D. Avner, President-Elect, American Society of Pediatric Nephrology and George R. Buchanan, President, American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology
Many children with cancer, hematological disorders, or kidney disease have complex, multisystem problems. Advances in cell and molecular biology provide insights into the interrelationships of cancer, blood, and the kidney and have led to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the clinician. Such approaches are reviewed in this symposium, which focuses specifically on the nephrological complications of sickle cell anemia and bone marrow transplantation, hematological complications of nephrotic syndrome, and the molecular pathophysiology of WT-1-associated disorders.

State of the Art Plenary
5701 Children as Research Subjects: Ethical and Regulatory Issues
Chair: Myron Genel, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT
A number of highly publicized adverse events, including the death of two volunteers participating in non-therapeutic research, and the federal shutdown of research at many well-recognized academic institutions because of inadequate compliance with regulatory requirements have intensified scrutiny of the protection afforded to human subjects participating in research, including children. Furthermore a Maryland court has recently decreed that children cannot participate in research without the potential for direct benefit. As a consequence there has been increasing media attention and Congressional concern regarding the adequacy of institutional oversight and investigator attentiveness to established standards and regulations. In addition, new regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of l996(HIPAA) threaten the capacity to conduct health services and outcomes research. These issues will be addressed in the 9th annual Public Policy Plenary Symposium in an interactive format intended to stimulate dialogue among the members of the panel and with the audience.

Chairs: Tina L. Cheng, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD; Danielle Laraque, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY; and Benard Dreyer, New York, NY
The impact of 9/11 and the public health aftermath have affected us personally and professionally. This session will address what the child health professional needs to know regarding disaster planning and preparedness. Speakers will review and provide updates on national and regional systems for emergency management and how those systems interact with local public health agencies, the pediatrician's role in the community's preparedness including what the school system, the pediatric office and the patient should be doing to prepare and respond, recognition and management of chemical and biologic agents of terrorism, and the psychological reactions to disaster and stress.
