Non-recommended interventions declined consistently for more than a decade
Inadvisable bronchiolitis interventions declined steadily after a duo of American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) bronchiolitis guidelines came out, researchers reported.
In an analysis of U.S. emergency department (ED) and inpatient discharges over 13 years, a “negative use trajectory was found in all measures except viral testing in the ED group” during the period after the initial guidelines publication in 2006, according to Samantha A. House, DO, MPH, of the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and co-authors.
A 2014 revision also had a noticeable treatment impact, they stated in

Children treated for cancer with approaches such as chemotherapy can develop therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (a second type of cancer) with a dismal prognosis. Scientists at St. Jude Children s Research Hospital have characterized the genomic abnormalities of 84 such myeloid neoplasms, with potential implications for early interventions to stop the disease. A paper detailing the work was published today in
Nature Communications.
The somatic (cancer) and germline (inherited) genomic alterations that drive therapy-related myeloid neoplasms in children have not been comprehensively described, until now. The researchers used a variety of sequencing techniques (whole exome, whole genome and RNA) to characterize the genomic profile of 84 pediatric therapy-related myeloid neoplasms. The data came from
Sutter Health and Stanford Medicine have launched a joint cancer care program that officials say will strive to expand access and state-of-the-art cancer services for patients and families in the East Bay.
