The MCG Pediatric Podcast

There has long since been a knowledge gap in medical education regarding care of LGBTQIA+ patients. This has manifested itself in health disparities that detrimentally affect the LGBTQIA+ population. This podcast serves as a way to start bridging the gap on order to mitigate the effects of bias, discrimination, and prejudice that queer patients often face in health care. Research has shown that consistent, early exposure in medical education to patients from the queer community has been beneficial in preparing future practitioners for gender inclusive care. We must also do our parts as pediatricians to make sure our queer youth grow into confident, thriving queer adults. Join Dr. Farrah-Amoy Fullerton, a recent graduate of the pediatric residency program at MCG, and Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Lisa Leggio, as they introduce LGBTQIA+ health care disparities and describe ways to bridge the gap for eager general practitioners who would like to know more.

Immunizations are a critical component of the well child management in pediatric patients, as they are responsible for the prevention of numerous serious diseases with devastating consequences even if adequately treated. While many providers are well versed in the standard immunization schedule for children, the care and management of under-immunized children may present itself a challenge. Join Dr. Shreeti Kapoor, a general pediatrician for over 25 years, and recent Pediatric Resident graduate, Dr. Monique Bailey as they discuss caring for under-immunized children. Specifically, they will: Review the recommended vaccination schedule for all children, with a focus on those aged 0-4 years. Discuss the CDC catch-up immunization schedule with examples from three different age groups. Consider the special case of catch-up vaccination for international adoptees as well as interpreting records containing other immunizations (e.g. BCG vaccine) from a few examples of international endemic areas. Review common causes of febrile illnesses in young, vaccinated and under-immunized children. Examine the treatment algorithm and recommended prophylactic antibiotic options for unvaccinated or under-immunized children.

The MCG Pediatric Podcast

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the US that can present in three different stages. Diagnosis is through a combination of a thorough history, review of systems, physical exam, as well as a two-tier serologic testing. Former Pediatric resident, Dr. James Davis, joins Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Susan Goldberg, to discuss the evaluation and management of Lyme Disease in the pediatric population. After listening to this podcast, learners should be able to: Recognize common presenting signs and symptoms of Early Localized, Early Disseminated, and Late Lyme disease from a patient history and physical examination Determine whether a patient meets clinical diagnostic criteria and, if not, which lab tests are appropriate for diagnosis of Lyme disease Appropriately prescribe the correct antibiotic choice and duration for patients, depending on variation of Lyme disease and accompanying symptoms Accurately and effectively instruct patients in prevention strategies for tick bites and Lyme disease Special thanks to Dr. Ingrid Camelo, Dr. Rebecca Yang and Dr. Jacob Eichenberger who peer reviewed today’s episode.

Did you know that a mild respiratory infection could be the culprit of an adverse respiratory event during a patient undergoing anesthesia? Dr. Pedro Solorzano and Dr. Ana Mavarez join Krishna Shah to discuss the evaluation and management of upper respiratory infections for patients undergoing anesthetic care. Specifically, they will: Recall key aspects of the preoperative assessment performed by the pediatric anesthesiologist prior to perform an anesthetic. Understand why an upper respiratory infection (URI) affects the pediatric anesthesiologist’s decision to proceed or postpone a surgery or procedure requiring anesthesia or sedation. Identify the severity of the URI symptoms that would increase the likelihood of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAE). Understand the anesthetic management of a patient with an URI to minimize the risk of PRAE requiring emergent anesthesia and the timing to postpone it if the surgery is elective. Initiate interventions to optimize the pediatric patient’s respiratory status with URI prior to receiving anesthesia.

Did you know that the leading cause of monocular vision loss for people of all ages can only be prevented by intervening in early childhood? Amblyopia, or decreased vision from lack of visual stimulation, affects about 3-5% of children and can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated by the age of 8. Dr. Stephanie Goei, a pediatric ophthalmologist, joins medical students Lindsay Berman and Joanne Thomas to discuss detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of amblyopia in infancy and early childhood. Specifically, they will cover how to: Recognize common history and physical exam findings associated with amblyopia. Formulate a differential diagnosis for visual deficits in children. Appreciate the importance of vision screenings as part of regular wellness visits. Understand the initial diagnostic approach to amblyopia. Recognize when to refer patients with visual deficits to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Acknowledge how the approach to treatment of amblyopia depends on the specific etiology.
