Psychomotor skills training in pediatric airway endoscopy simulation.Jabbour N, Reihsen T, Sweet RM, Sidman JD Department of Otolaryngology--Head & Neck Surgery, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. jabb0005@umn.edu Published 10 August 2011 in Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 145(1): 43-50. Articles on Pediatrics published 9 August 2011: Tele-practice guidelines for the symptom management of children undergoing cancer treatment. Pediatr Blood Cancer, 57(4): 541-8.

Seven guidelines and one documentation tool were created from evidence compiled from case reports, clinical examples, and nonexperimental studies. The ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Articles on Pediatrics published 3 August 2011: Minimizing and communicating radiation risk in pediatric nuclear medicine. J Nucl Med, 52(8): 1240-51. The value of pediatric nuclear medicine is well established. Pediatric patients are referred to nuclear medicine from nearly all pediatric specialties including urology, oncology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics.

Pediatrics, 128(2): e422-8. Health supervision for children with Down syndrome. Pediatrics, 128(2): 393-406. These guidelines are designed to assist the pediatrician in caring for the child in whom a diagnosis of Down syndrome has been confirmed by chromosome analysis. Although a pediatrician's initial contact with the child is usually during infancy, occasionally the pregnant woman who has been given a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome will be referred for review of the condition and the genetic counseling provided. Therefore, this report offers guidance for this situation as well. [Abstract] [Full-text] Prediction of pneumonia in a pediatric emergency department. Pediatrics, 128(2): 246-53.
