Genome sequencing (GS) has become standard for babies with congenital anomalies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Nationwide Children’s.   To ensure that clinicians have access to genomic results as soon as possible, GS coordination is moving to the gestational period for families who are anticipating NICU care after delivery. A commentary about…

A new international framework prioritizes molecular classifiers that could enable risk-adapted, biologically informed treatment for children, adolescents, and young adults with osteosarcoma.   Despite substantial advances in understanding osteosarcoma biology, treatment has remained largely unchanged for more than four decades. An international working group has now developed a framework for translating emerging molecular classifiers into…

New research suggests that a minimally invasive flow-diversion device approved for adults may offer a safe and effective treatment option for children with complex brain aneurysms. Pediatric intracranial aneurysms are rare, but when they occur, they can be among the most challenging cerebrovascular conditions to treat. Many have complex morphologies and locations that may not…

Pre-X-ray Safety CHECK reduces repeat imaging, radiation exposure and diagnostic variability in the NICU. Portable radiographs are necessary for diagnosing disease and evaluating position of medical devices in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). However, repeat imaging due to poor-quality radiographs exposes vulnerable infants to additional radiation and unnecessary handling, disrupting their environment and potentially compromising…

Randomized clinical trial assesses whether driving feedback technology, parent communication training or a combination reduces risky driving in teenagers with traffic violations. Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for adolescents in the United States. Teen drivers who receive traffic citations represent a particularly high-risk population, with elevated rates of repeat violations, crashes…

Genetic Testing Reshapes Care for Children With Kidney Disease
 Genetic Testing Reshapes Care for Children With Kidney Disease 1024 683 Lauren Dembeck
By: Lauren Dembeck

As more genetic causes of pediatric kidney disease are identified, clinicians are increasingly using genetic testing not only to diagnose disease, but also to guide treatment and improve long-term outcomes. For many children with kidney disease, the path to diagnosis can be long and uncertain. Families may spend years navigating referrals, repeated testing, and evolving…
