I.  EVIDENCE ALERT

Medical Treatment for Botulism - Authors: Chalk C, Benstead T, Keezer M 

CONCLUSIONS: There is good evidence supporting the use of human-derived botulinum immune globulin in infant intestinal botulism. A single randomized controlled trial demonstrated significant decreases in the duration of hospitalization, mechanical ventilation and tube or parenteral feeding among treated patients. Our search did not reveal any evidence examining the use of other medical treatments including serum trivalent botulism antitoxin.

II.  MEDICAL NEWS FEED

Intranasal or buccal midazolam an option for pediatric sedation

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - When a child who needs to be sedated can't or won't take oral midazolam, intranasal or buccal delivery via aerosol is a useful alternative, according to a report in the Annals of Emergency Medicine online June 21.

III. NATIONAL GUIDELINE CLEARINGHOUSE

Long-term follow-up guidelines for survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers. Sections 1-2: any cancer experience

We came together to make a difference in children's lives; one surgery at a time....

At this year's MLA in Minneapolis, MN,  STAT!Ref along with co-sponsors Primal Pictures, AgileMedicine, 7 Sushi Ultralounge/Skybar and special guest University of Minnesota, sponsored a dinner and silent auction with proceeds benefiting Smile Network International.

Each year Smile Network International volunteer teams will operate on hundreds of children at surgical mission sites around the world. The surgeries are provided free of charge and are available to children who would otherwise go untreated.

Together we raised enough funds to perform 25-30 surgeries!

STAT!Ref will continue to participate in charitable health-related fields, such as this, to make a difference in the lives of others.

STAT!Ref announces 3 NEW TITLES....

Neonatal Respiratory Care Handbook     

© 2011 Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc.

Authors/Editors: Elgloria A. Harrison MS, RRT-NPS

Subjects: Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Pediatrics

Neonatal Respiratory Care Handbook is a user-friendly, full-color resource illustrating the more common types of procedures that a respiratory therapist, new graduate or an experienced therapist would be expected to perform in the day-to-day operations of a specialized unit for children. This full-color reference is especially appropriate for respiratory students enrolled in a Neonatal/Pediatric class, particularly during their Neonatal and Pediatric rotation; Respiratory Educators and Residents within a pulmonary medicine residency; and Respiratory graduates orienting or completing their orientation in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

The Immune Response to Infection

© 2011 American Society for Microbiology Press

Authors/Editors: Stephan H.E. Kaufmann, Barry T. Rouse, and David L. Sacks

Subject:  Immunology

 With an approach that covers the range from basic research to clinical applications, The Immune Response to Infection examines the mechanisms of both the innate and adaptive immune systems as they relate to infection and disease. The book not only explores the underlying mechanisms of immunity, but also the many sequelae of host-pathogen interactions, ranging from the sterile eradication of the invader, to controlled chronic infection, to pathologic corollaries of the host-pathogen crosstalk. It also explores the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune disorders and cancers that are induced by infectious agents but then become independent of the infection process.

 Principles of Virology

3rd Ed. © 2010 American Society for Microbiolgoy Press

Authors/Editors: S. Jane Flint, Lynn W. Enquist, Vincent R. Racaniello, and Anna Marie Skalka
