    Abstract We present our experience with developing active learning activities in a collaborative teacher setting, along with guidelines for teachers to create them. We focus on developing learner skills in colours, design, and visualisation. Typically, teachers create content before considering learning tasks. In contrast, we develop them concurrently. In addition, teaching in a collaborative setting (where many teachers deliver or produce content) brings its own set of challenges. We developed and used a set of processes to help guide teachers to deliver appropriate learning activities within a theme that appear similarly structured and can be categorised and searched in a consistent way. Our presentation and experience of using these guidelines can act as a blueprint for others to follow and apply. We describe many of the learning activities we created and discuss how we delivered them in a bilingual (English, Welsh) setting. Delivering the learning activities within a theme (in our case, colours) means that it is possible to integrate a range of learning outcomes. Lessons can focus on, for instance, skill development in mathematics, physics, computer graphics, art, design, computer programming, and critical thought. Furthermore, colour is a topic that can motivate: it sparks curiosity and creativity, and people can learn to create their own colourful pictures, while learning and developing computing skills.

    Abstract Abnormal bleeding or bruising is a relatively common clinical concern, frequently causing parents to seek care from their children's primary care provider. Although ecchymosis from playful trauma, occasional epistaxis, and heavy menstrual bleeding around the time of menarche and beyond are common occurrences, it can be difficult for pediatricians and other primary care providers to determine if their patient has age-appropriate symptoms versus abnormal or excessive bleeding. This review discusses considerations for abnormal bleeding in pediatrics and discusses an initial approach for evaluation of hemostasis in a child with bleeding symptoms.

    Abstract We present how we have created a series of bilingual (English and Welsh) STEM activities focusing on rainbows, colours, light and optical effects. The activities were motivated by the many rainbows that appeared in windows in the UK, in support of the National Health Service at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Rainbows are hopeful and are very fitting to be used as a positive iconic image at a time of much uncertainty. In this paper we explain how we have developed and organised the activities, focusing on colours, computer graphics and computer programming. Each lesson contains one or more activities, which enable people to take an active role in their learning. We have carefully prepared and organised several processes to guide academic colleagues to create and publish different activities in the theme. Which means that the activities appear similarly structured, can be categorised and searched in a consistent way. This structure can act as a blueprint for others to follow and apply to develop their own online course. The activities incrementally take people through learning about colour, rainbows, planning what to program, design and strategies to create colourful pictures using simple computer graphics principles based in processing.org.

    Abstract Introduction: Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stent angioplasty is a palliative procedure for neonates and infants with symptomatic tetralogy of Fallot prior to surgical repair. We review our institutional outcomes of RVOT stenting.
    Methods: Retrospective review of all infants with tetralogy of Fallot under 3 months of age who underwent primary native RVOT stent angioplasty at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, Australia between January 2010 and December 2020. Demographics and echocardiographic pulmonary artery dimensions were collected pre-stent angioplasty and prior to surgical repair.
    Results: Twenty (20) infants underwent primary RVOT stenting. Median age at stent was 14 days (interquartile range [IQR] 7-32) and median weight 2.7 kg (IQR 2.1-3.4). Three patients underwent hybrid per-ventricular procedures. Indication for RVOT stenting was recurrent hyper-cyanotic spells in 12 (60%) and duct-dependent pulmonary blood flow in 8 (40%). Saturations increased from a median of 80% (IQR 75-85) to 91% (IQR 90-95) post procedure (P<0.001). A single major complication occurred: transient complete atrioventricular dissociation requiring isoprenaline infusion for <24 hours. Twelve (12, 60%) required catheter re-intervention prior to definitive repair for further augmentation of pulmonary blood flow. There were two non-cardiac deaths distant from the stent procedure, but prior to surgical repair. Median right and left pulmonary artery Z-scores increased respectively from -2.06 (IQR -2.99 to -0.17) and -1.2 (IQR -2.59 to -0.14) prior to RVOT stent, to -0.74 (IQR [-1.21 to 0.26], P=0.01) and 0.06 (IQR [-1.87 to 1.15], P=0.006) by the time of definitive repair. Eighteen (18) patients achieved definitive repair at a median age of 6.1 months (IQR 4.7-7.3). Palliation with more than one RVOT stent was associated with an increased duration of cardiac bypass (P=0.035) and cross-clamp (P=0.044) time at definitive repair.
    Conclusions: In symptomatic neonates and infants with tetralogy of Fallot at high-risk of peri-operative complications, RVOT stent angioplasty can safely and effectively augment pulmonary blood flow prior to definitive repair.

    Abstract Background: FVIII replacement is standard treatment for hemophilia A without inhibitors, but non-factor therapies, such as emicizumab, are changing the treatment landscape. We explore the ramifications of switching treatment.
    Methods: Pharmacy database data (July 2017-May 2020) from patients with hemophilia A without inhibitors who switched to rurioctocog alfa pegol or emicizumab prophylaxis after ≥6 months' prophylaxis with another FVIII product were analyzed for total mean weekly consumption, dosing frequency, product wastage, and ABR.
    Results: Post-switch mean weekly consumption of prophylactic rurioctocog alfa pegol and emicizumab were 6224 IU/kg and 109 mg, respectively. Dosing schedules for emicizumab were primarily weekly (48.2%) and every 2 weeks (40.0%). Most patients in the rurioctocog alfa pegol cohort received treatment twice-weekly (83.3%). Mean product wastage of emicizumab (8.4%) was significantly higher versus rurioctocog alfa pegol (-0.3%;
    Conclusions: Bleed rates were similar for patients receiving prophylaxis with emicizumab or rurioctocog alfa pegol after switching from prophylaxis with another FVIII. However, wastage associated with dispensing inaccuracies was greater with emicizumab.

    Abstract Heparin-induced skin necrosis (HISN) is a rare complication of heparin anticoagulation. The condition occurs in various situations, including in heparin-naive and exposed individuals, in areas local or distant from the heparin injection site, and with or without frank thrombocytopenia. We present a case in which a patient treated for a pulmonary embolism with therapeutic unfractionated heparin (UFH) develops this adverse event. Symptoms were reversed with cessation of UFH and transition to bivalirudin without surgical debridement. The patient initially had anti-PF4 antibodies present but subsequent testing showed borderline antibodies and a negative serotonin release assay. After starting bivalirudin, the patient was later switched to fondaparinux without further consequences. This case illustrates the pathogenesis of HISN and provides an example of inconsistently abnormal laboratory values. Additionally, it provides two novel exposures the mRNA-1273 vaccine and the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab that, to our knowledge, have not been previously reported.
