The evaluation of the fallopian tubes is an essential part of the infertility workup, with abnormalities related to the fallopian tubes accounting for up to 40% of female subfertility.1 Laparoscopy is still considered the gold standard in the diagnostic evaluation of fallopian tubes, though the hysterosalpingogram (HSG) has long been recognized as complementary to laparoscopy, since tubal anatomy can be distinctly be seen.2 That said, previous investigations using laparoscopy as the gold standard demonstrate HSG has a sensitivity and specificity of 53% and 87%, respectively, for any tubal pathology and 46% and 95%, respectively, for bilateral tubal pathology.3

Predictors Of Increasing Injury Severity Across Suspected Recurrent Episodes Of Non-Accidental Trauma, Jonathan D. Thackeray, Peter Minneci, Jennifer N. Cooper, Jonathan I. Groner, Katherine Deans
Pediatrics Faculty Publications
Background
Little is known about how the severity of injury changes with recurrent events of suspected non-accidental trauma (NAT). Our objective was to determine risk factors for escalating severity of injury in children with multiple events of suspected NAT.
Methods
This retrospective longitudinal cohort study included children from a pediatric Medicaid accountable care organization with ≥ 1 non-birth related episode containing an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification or Current Procedural Terminology code for NAT or a skeletal survey between 2007 and 2011. Subsequent potential NAT events were defined as independent episodes with codes for either NAT, a …

Incorporating Pharmacodynamic Considerations Into Caffeine Therapeutic Drug Monitoring In Preterm Neonates, Tian Yu, Alfred H. Balch, Robert Ward, E. Kent Korgenski, Catherine M.T. Sherwin
Pediatrics Faculty Publications
Background
This study sought to assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships of caffeine citrate therapy in preterm neonates who had therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in the post-extubation period.
Methods
A retrospective observational study was conducted in preterm neonates who received caffeine citrate therapy for apnea of prematurity and had TDM done in the post-extubation period between January 2006 and October 2011. The relationships between pharmacodynamic effects (heart rate, respiratory rate, episodes of apnea, adverse events) and caffeine serum concentrations were explored.
Results
A total of 177 blood samples were obtained from 115 preterm neonates with a median (range) gestational age …

Physiologic changes due to disease status can lead to highly variable pharmacokinetics (PK) of amikacin in children. Therefore, considerations should be given when determining optimal amikacin does for patients with a specific diseases. Improved understanding of factors influencing PD can allow for the optimizing of dosage regimens to reduce adverse effects.
The aim of the study was to undertake a comparative pharmacometic analysis of amikacin use in pediatric patients with burn injuries verses those with oncology conditions.

The Changing Tides In Gynecologic Surgery Minimally Invasive Options: What We Know And How Do We Improve Use, Training, Michael L. Galloway
The Changing Tides In Gynecologic Surgery Minimally Invasive Options: What We Know And How Do We Improve Use, Training, Michael L. Galloway
Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Publications
Over the past twenty years gynecologic surgery has evolved from primarily abdominal approach to the current focus on minimally invasive surgical techniques. Minimally invasive techniques include vaginal and laparoscopic techniques. Evolution in laparoscopic technology and equipment has exploded to include multiple vessel sealing instruments of varying modalities, instruments with “wristed” capabilities and robotic assisted technology. Single port laparoscopy and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery are other variations of laparoscopic technology.
Vaginal surgery is still touted as the “ultimate” minimally invasive surgery by ACOG; however, its use has not grown over this time. Many surgeons have had limited training in vaginal …
