Insights into ADHD's Associated Comorbidities
and Treatment Modalities
PAS Industry Sponsored Symposium
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 7, SF Marriott
Target
Audience: General pediatricians.
Studies
suggest up to 80% of children with a clinical diagnosis of
ADHD will continue to have the disorder into adolescence, with
60% having symptoms into adulthood.
Among
children with ADHD, comorbid psychiatric disorders are
predictive of the persistence of ADHD into adolescence and
adulthood, and a more complicated course of illness with
poorer outcomes.
Options
for effective management of ADHD from childhood through
adulthood are emerging as more clinical studies focus on this
common disorder. Studies in adults show that medications with
anti-ADHD activity in childhood and adolescent ADHD work
equally well in adult ADHD, providing further evidence for the
syndromatic continuity between the juvenile and adult
diagnosis. This engaging, leading-edge session is designed to
fill the knowledge gaps that exist in the areas of diagnosis
and treatment of ADHD, with a particular focus on managing the
common psychiatric conditions that are often comorbid with
ADHD.

Surfactant Therapy—Where Are We and Where
Do We Go from Here?
PAS Industry Sponsored Symposium
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 8, SF Marriott
Target
Audience: Neonatologists.
Respiratory
distress syndrome (RDS) results from insufficient levels of
endogenous surfactant. Surfactant therapy, when used as
treatment or prophylaxis, significantly reduces morbidity and
mortality. New synthetic protein-containing products promise
to emerge soon as a viable therapeutic strategy in the
prevention of RDS. Neonatologists and other pediatric health
care professionals need to have a thorough and up-to-date
understanding of current and emerging products to make the
most informed clinical decisions for their patients.
This
symposium will focus on the current role of exogenous
surfactant therapy in neonatology. Speakers will review the
composition and function of this class of compounds. Faculty
also will discuss the clinical status of current
animal-derived and future protein-containing synthetic
surfactant therapies, including comparative trials and
meta-analyses, as well as studies of various ventilation
strategies in conjunction with surfactant therapy.
Additionally, speakers will describe potential new
applications of surfactant therapy.

Cloning
the IgA antibody response in acute Kawasaki Disease has led to
exciting new insights into the etiology and pathogenesis of
this enigmatic illness. The diagnosis of incomplete Kawasaki
Disease remains a significant clinical problem, and new
guidelines have been published to help the clinician in making
this diagnosis. Approximately 10–15% of children with acute
Kawasaki Disease do not respond to conventional intravenous
gammaglobulin and aspirin therapy, and new data regarding
treatment with steroids and Remicade are emerging. Knowledge
regarding optimal management of cardiac complications and
long-term outcome continues to evolve as patients diagnosed
with Kawasaki Disease in the 1970s and 1980s age.

Necrotizing
enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal disease seen
predominantly in very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely
low birth weight (ELBW) infants. NEC is probably a complex,
multifactorial disease. Currently, the precise pathogenic
mechanisms remain to be elucidated; however, clinical use of
probiotics has been reported to be useful for preventing NEC
development in VLBW and ELBW infants. This session will
provide us the current knowledge about the role of probiotics
in the management of NEC.

PAS/APPD Mini Course
Room 2008, Moscone West
Chair: Robert S. McGregor, St. Christopher's Hospital for
Children, Philadelphia, PA
"Sports
medicine, not a matter of life and death…it’s much more
important than that” is a bit overstated. However, some
estimates suggest pediatricians in training receive little
more than 5 hours of clinical training. This creates a
generation of pediatric clinicians and pediatric educators who
didn't get it.
We
suggest the time has come for a mini course designed to
address some basic concepts, as well as more current
controversial areas to attempt to catch-up the contemporary
pediatrician, and to provide a curricular base for the
pediatric educator.
Topics
will include: the female athlete, ergogenic substance use and
abuse and current medical issues including concussion
guidelines. The course will conclude with case discussions
combined with live video projection of pertinent physical
examination techniques.

3242—Medical–Legal Collaboration: New
Strategies in Promoting Child Health
PAS Educational Workshop
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 2, SF Marriott
Leader: Lauren Smith, Boston, MA; Co-leaders: Megan Sandel,
David Keller, Ellen Lawton, Christopher Stenberg
Target
Audience: Trainees, fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty
and community practitioners.
Families
and children face social and economic challenges that can
adversely affect child health, development and long-term
potential. Pediatricians are a natural front-line defense for
screening and referral for housing issues, education needs,
disability, hunger and other problems, yet they often lack the
training and resources to advocate for families' basic needs.
Developing effective medical–legal collaboration in clinical
settings is a potent strategy to promote child health through
ensuring that these basic needs are met. Experienced pediatric
and legal advocates will facilitate discussion of concrete
advocacy strategies including programs such as the Family

3244—Pediatricians as Advocates: Efforts on
Behalf of Children Being Raised by Gay and Lesbian Parents
PAS Educational Workshop
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 3, SF Marriott
Leader: Ellen Perrin, Boston, MA; Co-leader: James Crawford
and Jim Pawelski
Target
Audience: Trainees, fellows, junior faculty, mid-level
faculty, senior faculty and community practitioners.
Pediatricians
have a long history of advocating for their patients
health-care needs, broadly defined. Advocacy efforts have
included: (1) ensuring that individual families have adequate
housing and food; (2) providing societal supports for
disadvantaged subgroups, e.g., foster children and immigrants;
(3) enacting political guarantees for the security of
vulnerable populations; and (4) building coalitions among
opinion leaders in support of progressive policies.
Not
long ago, gay and lesbian teens and their parents and gay and
lesbian parents and their children were close to invisible in
pediatrics. Currently pediatricians are in the forefront of
advocacy efforts on behalf of this group of children and
families. We will describe the background and strategy behind
several of these recent advocacy efforts, including
pediatricians' participation in legislative deliberations, the
role of professional publications and media appearances and
the AAP's support of co-parent adoption and civil marriage.
These examples will be used to generate ideas and strategies
for further advocacy efforts for these and other populations.
Objectives:
–
Know examples of advocacy efforts on behalf of families with a
gay or lesbian member through professional organizations.
– Understand the role of pediatricians as opinion leaders
and advocates in public media and professional publications.
Format:
Small group discussion and presentation of history of
successful advocacy efforts.
