2162—Transition to Adulthood: The Role of
Pediatricians
PAS Educational Workshop
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 15, SF Marriott
Leader: Eric Levey, Baltimore, MD; Co-leaders: Patti Hackett,
Suzanne McLaughlin, Robert Blum
Target Audience: Fellows, junior
faculty, mid-level faculty, community practitioners.
This workshop will provide an
overview of health care transition concepts and tools for
primary care providers and specialists. The goal of transition
in health care for all youth with/without special health care
needs is to maximize lifelong functioning and potential
through the provision of high-quality, developmentally
appropriate health care services that continue uninterrupted
as one moves from childhood to adulthood, and from pediatric
to adult-oriented health care. We see an important role for
pediatricians in fostering health care decision-making,
self-determination and advocacy, as well as promoting health
and preventing secondary conditions and disability.
Participants will be divided into small, facilitated groups to
assess their current transition practices and strategize
regarding improvement within their own institutions and
communities.
Objectives:
– Discuss and evaluate the role
of the Medical Home and Specialists in preparing youth and
families for adulthood.
– Review and develop strategies and tools, useful to their
individual practice setting, to assist youth and family with
transition to adulthood including skill building in the areas
of health care decision-making, self-determination and
advocacy.
– Explore the importance of collaboration between pediatric
and adult-oriented health care providers, both in medical
education and clinical practice.
– Strategize about the next steps for putting national
policy into practice at the community level.
Format: Presentations by
pediatrician for children with disabilities, med/peds
physician, and parent advocate followed by question-and-answer
session. Facilitated group discussions and role-play followed
by reports back to the large group.

Lawson Wilkins Lecture:
Recent years have witnessed a
significant revision of the traditional view of fat cells
as simple stores of excess energy. Studies in the
speaker's lab as well as many others have clearly
demonstrated that adipocytes produce and regulate many
metabolic and hormonal signals, which generate profound
effects on systemic endocrine equilibrium. In his earlier
studies, he also demonstrated that these cells exhibit an
inflammatory capacity that is abnormal in obesity and key
to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and diabetes.
Recently, he identified a key molecular mechanism
underlying the link between inflammatory responses and
insulin action. This pathway involves obesity-related
activation of the serine, threonine kinase, JNK, and the
consequent inhibition of insulin receptor signaling via
phosphorylation of a substrate of insulin receptor, IRS-1.

Education Across the Pediatric Age Spectrum
PAS Educational Workshop
Golden Gate Hall C3, SF Marriott
Leader: Michelle Barratt, Houston, TX; Co-leaders: Andrea
Bortot
Target Audience: Fellows, junior
faculty, and mid-level faculty
The workshop goal is to provide
resources for training residents and students in a stepwise
manner regarding sexuality and sex education for adolescents
and all age groups. Anticipatory Guidance regarding sex must
provide for the needs of a new mom (anatomic nomenclature,
etc.) through parent of an elementary aged child (upcoming
bodily changes, etc.) through parent and their adolescent
(direct conversation about healthy choices, etc.). Examples of
training by standardized patients, viewing video clips, role
modeling, and web-based resources will be presented.
Objectives:
– Participants will have two
new techniques to use when training students and residents on
age appropriate sexual education.
– Participants will have age specific sexual education
anticipatory guidance knowledge.
– Participants will increase their personal comfort
discussing sexual topics with parents and patients.
– Participants will be familiar with the use of brief
motivational interviewing with adolescents.
Format: The workshop will include
group discussion, videotape critiquing and small group
exercises.

2424—Treatment of the Metabolic Syndrome in
Children and Adolescents
PAS Educational Workshop
Golden Gate Hall A1, SF Marriott
Leader: J. Darrell Nesmith, Little Rock, AR; Co-leaders: Alba
Morales, Mohammad Ilyas, Lisa Lubsch
Target Audience:
Endocrinologists, trainees, fellows, junior faculty, mid-level
faculty, senior faculty, and community practitioners.
The rise in pediatric obesity and
metabolic syndrome is well established. Less understood for
the pediatrician is the treatment of the metabolic syndrome.
In this workshop, we aim to: 1) briefly discuss the
epidemiology of the metabolic syndrome in children and
adolescents, 2) discuss non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic
treatment of the metabolic syndrome, and 3) review a stepped
approach in treating adolescents with the metabolic syndrome.
This workshop will be largely
case-based. Come prepared to devise treatment plans in a small
group setting. Participants are invited to bring their own
cases for discussion.
Participants will:
– Learn the epidemiology of the
metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents.
– Become familiar with existing treatment guidelines for
components of the metabolic syndrome in children and
adolescents.
– Identify gaps in the literature regarding treatment
guidelines of the metabolic syndrome in children and
adolescents.
– Consider pharmacologic treatment options of metabolic
syndrome treatment based on the available evidence.
Format: A short didactic
presentation will be given on diabetes, hypertension, and
dyslipidemia treatments from a diabetologist, nephrologist,
and endocrinologist respectively. Existing published
guidelines will be presented while gaps in the literature
regarding treatment will be discussed. Following these short
didactic presentations, small groups (at tables) will work on
cases which will be presented, and a treatment plan will be
derived by each group. At the end of these roundtable work
group discussions, the group as a whole will discuss the
treatment plans. Actual cases will be used when possible (with
appropriate de-identifiers) and their treatment plans
discussed.

2725—Integrating Genetic Susceptibility and
Environmental Influences in Pediatric Research
PAS Topic Symposium
Room 2008, Moscone West
Chair: Bruce P. Lanphear, Cincinnati Children's Environmental
Health Center, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical
Center, Cincinnati, OH
Target Audience: A broad
pediatric audience with the goal of promoting
interdisciplinary understanding and greater integration of
genetic and environmental research.
Asthma, preterm birth, ADHD and
other prevalent pediatric conditions are widely recognized to
result from interactions of environmental influences and
genetic susceptibility. Tremendous progress has been made in
measuring both environmental and genetic risk factors.
Increasingly, researchers are moving beyond ecological methods
(e.g., questionnaires, air monitoring) to directly measure in
humans hundreds of environmental chemicals, from nicotine to
metals to DDT and phthalates. Similarly, unprecedented
innovation has led rapidly to high-throughput methods that
assess DNA variation across large cohorts. New
interdisciplinary collaborations that integrate state of the
art approaches to both environmental and genetic influences
should greatly improve our ability to predict and prevent
disease and disability. Such studies will be critical for
understanding mechanistic pathways, defining susceptible
subpopulations and developing effective interventions. This
session will provide an overview of gene–environment
research, describe recent advances in biomarkers of
environmental exposure and review new methods for measuring
genetic variability.

Room Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 13, SF Marriott
Leader: Thomas Webb, Cincinnati, OH; Co-leader: Nienke Dosa
Target Audience: Trainees,
fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, senior faculty,
community practitioners.
Up to 85% of children born with
developmental disabilities are surviving to adult age. As
these individuals reach adulthood they are simultaneously
leaving school, exploring community living and needing
adult-oriented health care. As compared to other adolescents
with special health care needs, those with developmental
disabilities have more significant cognitive and physical
difficulties that affect the transition process. This workshop
will use case-based learning to review the principles of
adolescent transition, describe barriers to transition more
prevalent in developmental disabilities, and highlight
web-based, community service, financial, and
vocational-educational resources available to assist patients,
families, and providers with the transition process.
Objectives:
– Understand the principles of
adolescent transition to adult services.
– Recognize the additional physical and cognitive
difficulties facing adolescents with developmental
disabilities.
– Assist adolescents in developing self-care and independent
living skills.
– Describe the role of community service providers, schools,
and vocational rehabilitation specialists in adolescent
transition.
Format: Case presentations,
question and answer, problem solving, and didactic—for

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.

to function as an endocrine gland, elaborating inflammatory
cytokines that result in free radical formation and premature
apoptosis of the beta cell, is a relatively new concept. This
mini course will comprehensively address many of the newest
concepts in adipocyte function and their impact on health and
disease. Further discussion will include new concepts on the
interactions of IGF-II and other peptides' interactions with
the adipocyte. Lastly, there will be a call for new approaches
to the pediatric obesity epidemic.

4320A—New Frontiers in Reproductive Science
LWPES Topic Symposium
Room 3001, Moscone West
Chairs: Ram K. Menon, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI;
and Henry Anhalt, Saint Barnabas Medical Center, Livingston,
NJ
Target Audience:
Endocrinologists, geneticists, developmental biologists and
adolescent medicine.
The regulation of puberty remains
one of the greatest mysteries of medicine. A child is born
with all of the necessary components to undergo puberty at
birth but this process is quiescent until puberty occurs. The
attendee will learn the newest information on the biological
regulators of puberty.
In addition, the attendee will be
exposed to newer techniques available for preservation of
fertility in a variety of different pathological states.
Discussion will include the cryopreservation of the
pre-pubertal ovary.

4470—The National Children's Study: Status
and Future Plans
PAS/PPC Special Symposium
Room 3010-3012, Moscone West
Chair: Elena Fuentes-Afflick, University of California, San
Francisco, CA
Target Audience: Practicing
pediatricians, academic child health professionals,
researchers, administrators and policymakers who are
interested in child health across the lifespan. Professionals
interested in the impact of environmental factors on health
outcomes will also be interested.
This special symposium will
present an update on the National Children's Study, which
recently selected 7 vanguard centers and is prepared to begin
recruitment of subjects. However, the President's budget
proposal allocated no further funding and stated that the
study would be terminated at the end of the current fiscal
year. The panel presenters will discuss the current budgetary
outlook, status of the study, options to implement the study
and respond to questions from the audience.

4580—Application of Translational Science
to Vaccinology: Varicella-Zoster Virus and Human
Papillomavirus
PAS/PIDS State of the Art Plenary
Room 3003-3005, Moscone West
Chairs: Ann M. Arvin, Stanford University School of Medicine,
Stanford, CA; and Anna-Barbara Moscicki, University of
California, San Francisco, CA
Target Audience: Infectious
disease specialists, primary care pediatricians, immunologists
and adolescent medicine physicians.
One of the major goals of
infectious diseases research is to understand the pathogenesis
of disease and to use this knowledge to prevent the illness
through vaccination. An understanding of varicella
pathogenesis led to the development of a successful vaccine,
and further insights into long-term success of the vaccine and
the future of varicella immunization are emerging. A more
recent success story is that of human papillomavirus, in which
basic science studies of pathogenesis led to the development
of vaccines based on virus-like particles. These two examples
serve as models of the success of translational science in
combating infectious diseases.

Target Audience: All healthcare
providers.
This session will focus on
improving health care to children with low literacy parent(s).
It will employ a format created by the AMA-Foundation with
three separate presentations: (1) An overview of low health
literacy in the United States, including the definition of
health literacy as contrasted to general literacy; (2)
Creating a shame-free environment that encourages parents to
share their low literacy struggles with health providers; (3)
Strategies to enhance parent-provider
interaction/communication, with emphasis on improving
communication with low literacy parents. Ample time |
