2125—New Considerations for the Growth Rate
of the Preterm Infant: Too Fast or Not Fast Enough?—A Review
of the Evidence
PAS Mini Course
Room 3002-3008, Moscone West
Chairs: Frank R. Greer, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI;
and William W. Hay, Jr., University of Colorado, Aurora, CO
Target Audience: Neonatologists,
hospitalists who take care of preterm infants, nutritionists
and general pediatricians.
Recent nutritional emphasis in
the NICU has been to achieve the normal intrauterine growth
rate with more aggressive nutritional support for the low
birth weight infant. In general, this has been difficult to
achieve, and new evidence from long-term follow up studies
shows that preterm infants are at an increased risk of
developing the metabolic syndrome including obesity, type 2
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This implies that the
organs in the early life of the preterm infant may be
programmed adversely by nutritional therapy. This raises the
questions of how fast these infants should grow (including
catch up growth), the importance of the composition of this
growth and the urgency for defining the necessary balance
between growth of the brain and the rest of the body.
Ultimately, providers may want to revise the long-term and
short-term goals for feeding very low birth weight or
extremely low birth weight infants. This mini course will
present evidence to help answer these questions and provide
discussion about related practice recommendations.

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

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.

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

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.

Leader: Robert Sege, Boston, MA; Co-leader: Karen Miller
Target Audience: Fellows and
junior, mid-level and senior faculty.
Parents seek advice from their
pediatrician about child development and behavior management.
Formal education in these topics allows residents to develop
an approach to counseling that is both evidence-based and
suited to the needs and cultural values of the patient and
family. The Boston Floating Hospital residency implemented a
comprehensive approach to address resident learning needs in
parenting education in the fall of 2003. This session uses a
highly interactive approach (including a simulated resident
session) to help faculty members develop structured programs
in resident education concerning common parenting concerns.
Participants will also have an opportunity to review sample
resources, including the new AAP Connected Kids: Safe, Strong
Secure program.
Objectives:
– Learn an approach to teaching
residents about parenting issues.
– Experience and discuss specific interactive teaching
techniques.
– Become familiar with resources available to support
parenting education.
Format: Introductory didactic
instruction, with small group interactive activities. A
simulated resident session will serve as a focal point of
discussion.
2:00pm–5:00pm
3782—Developmental–Behavioral Pediatrics
APA Special Interest Group
Room Pacific Suite B, SF Marriott
Chair: Daniel Coury, dcoury@chi.osu.edu.
The aftermath of 9/11 and, more
recently, natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina have
raised the awareness of health professionals of the need to be
prepared to deal with the psychological impact of disasters
and terrorism on children and adolescents. This awareness
comes at a time when pediatric health care is already making
strides toward greater inclusion of mental health issues as
part of routine medical care.
This year’s
Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics SIG will have
presentations addressing issues in crisis management and
increasing support for the mental health needs of children and
adolescents in primary care settings. David Schonfeld, MD, is
Director of the National Center for School Crisis and
Bereavement at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
and experienced in the pediatric response to disasters,
including work with the school system in New York following
the World Trade Center attack and currently with New Orleans
schools following Hurricane Katrina. He will address issues of
psychological first aid, identifying those children who may be
more at risk, and roles for primary care pediatricians as well
as developmental–behavioral pediatricians.
Following Dr. Schonfeld will be
Judy Shaw, RN, MPH, co-chair of the committee on Bright
Futures Education Center, and Lane Tanner, MD, co-chair of the
Early Childhood Panel for Bright Futures. They will present
information on how the new Bright Futures will provide health
care providers with tools and a framework for identifying and
treating the mental health needs of their patients and
families utilizing a strength based approach. The goal of the
session is to inform health care providers about the
essentials of mental health promotion including monitoring,
preventing and identifying psychosocial problems and providing
appropriate follow-up.

4105—MRI of the Brain in Neonates
PAS Topic Symposium
Room 3022-3024, Moscone West
Chairs: Terrie E. Inder and Jeff J. Neil, St. Louis Children's
Hospital, St. Louis, MO
Target Audience: Neonatologists,
neurologists, radiologists and trainees.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
remains a rapidly evolving field, particularly in its
application to newborn infants. This symposium will first
review the basics of MR imaging methods (including
conventional and diffusion MR imaging) and then highlight
clinical applications of these methods to common neonatal
clinical conditions in the term and premature infant. The
talks will be targeted to clinicians and aimed to address key
clinical questions such as:
– In which infants should I
undertake an MR scan in my NICU?
– What are the strengths and weakness of MRI/CT/cranial
ultrasound?
– How can I undertake MR imaging in my institution—safety,
image sequences and interpretation?
– When should I undertake an MR scan in the term or
premature infant?
– What do the abnormalities in the MR scan mean for
long-term neurological outcome?
– How should I use this information in my clinical practice
in the NICU?
– Where is MR imaging taking us in the next 10 years in
newborn medicine?

4228—New Resources for Teaching
Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
PAS Educational Workshop
Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 11, SF Marriott
Leader: Steven Parker, Boston, MA
Target Audience: Fellows, junior
faculty, mid-level faculty, senior faculty, and community
practitioners.
The Division of Developmental and
Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center has created two
DVDs entitled: "Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics:
Training Modules for Clinical Issues in Primary Care."
These DVDs are intended to
enhance the teacher's ability to provide trainees with
engaging and stimulating DBP training experiences and focus on
24 DBP issues during the first 5 years, including: language
delays, social-emotional issues, temperament, developmental
surveillance in primary care, developmental delays, active
children, giving bad news, toilet training, enuresis, and
encopresis, discipline, drugs/alcohol, cigarettes.
In this interactive workshop, we
will introduce these unique training tools, and model how they
can be used to teach DBP. At the conclusion of the workshop,
each participant will receive a free set of the DVDs to use in
their teaching.
Objective:
– Become familiarized with the
use of new DVD training modules in Developmental and
Behavioral Pediatrics.
Format: Interactive presentation.
Will discuss the intent and format of the DVDs, and then model
their use as a training resource.
