Effectiveness of Bath Wipes After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Randomized Trial Open
Objective: Bacteremia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Infections of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and multidrug resistant (MDR) gram-negative rods (GNR…

Factors Associated With Declining to Participate in a Pediatric Oncology Next-Generation Sequencing Study Open
PURPOSE For the advances of pediatric oncology next-generation sequencing (NGS) research to equitably benefit all children, a diverse and representative sample of participants is needed. However, little is known about demographic and clini…

Management of Cardiogenic Shock in a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Open
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex condition characterized by end-organ hypoperfusion and requiring pharmacologic and/or mechanical circulatory support. It is caused by a decline in cardiac output due to a primary cardiac disorder. CS is …

Supplemental Vitamins and Minerals for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Treatment Open
Vitamins and minerals are dietary supplements used by almost half of the US adult population based on the presumption that they help prevent or treat cardiovascular disease. Many studies, including randomized trials, have investigated the …

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy Open
Primary cardiac angiosarcoma (PCAS) is a malignancy seldom seen in pregnancy.A 23-year-old G1P0 Chinese female was found to have PCAS during her first trimester when she presented with tamponade physiology.The transthoracic echocardiograph…

Infused Total Nucleated Cell Dose is a Better Predictor of Transplant Outcomes Than CD34+ Cell Dose for Peripheral Blood Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Children Open
Background: Children receive significantly higher CD34+ and CD3+ cell doses after peripheral blood allogeneic HCT owing to disparity in donor-recipient weight. We hypothesized that infused TNC rather than CD34+ cell dose is a better predic…

Coronary Artery Fistula Open
Coronary artery fistulae are rare abnormalities of the coronary arteries that are usually discovered incidentally on coronary angiogram. Most patients remain asymptomatic, and significant hemodynamic consequences are rarely observed. The f…

Recovery of Pulmonary Function after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Children Predicts Improved Survival Open
Background: Abnormal pulmonary function is prevalent in survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, the effect of long-term recovery of pulmonary function on survival is unknown. Methods: Recovery of pulmonar…

Routine Pre-and Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Computed Tomography of the Abdomen for Detecting Invasive Fungal Infection has Limited Value and have been Dramatically Reduced at Our Institution through a Quality Improvement Process Open
The diagnostic value of obtaining abdomen computed tomography (CT) to evaluate for invasive fungal infection (IFI) pre-hematopoietic stem cell transplant, and in the setting of fever with neutropenia post-transplant is unclear. Radiation r…
