    Abstract Aims: For several years, physicians have been required to evaluate a continuing medical education (CME) session before receiving a certificate of participation from an accredited provider. The mandatory nature of these evaluations has led to a high number of evaluations that offer information of questionable utility.
    Material and methods: We asked our CME evaluation vendor Eeds for all of the CME evaluation timestamps for our grand rounds from August 5 to September 16, 2020. We obtained time-stamped evaluation data from our CME services vendor and compared the times that sessions were evaluated to the start and completion times of those CME sessions.
    Results: While almost all attendees completed electronic evaluations, 8% did so before the start of the session and half did so before its completion.
    Conclusions: Making evaluations mandatory has had the effect of lowering the quality of the data thus obtained. In an age that has been described as the "graying of grand rounds," there are more effective strategies to enhance educational value and learner satisfaction.

    Abstract Electronic health record (EHR) generates a large amount of data filled with opportunities to enhance documentation compliance, quality improvement, and other metrics. Various software tools exist, but many clinicians are unaware of them. Our institution switched from a hybrid of paper and multiple small EHRs to one all-inclusive EHR system. We faced significant challenges beyond the typical new software deployment phase that affected our departmental regulatory compliance, quality measures, and research initiatives. We aimed to navigate these issues through the use of medical informatics. We used a multidimensional database software analysis tool called SAP BusinessObjects® (SAP SE. Released 2020. SAP BusinessObjects, Version 14.2.8.3671. Waldorf, Germany) to design automated queries for the patient database to generate various reports for our department. As a result, We improved our anesthesia documentation non-compliance from 13-17% of all cases to 4% within months. We have also used this tool to automatically generate various reports such as preoperative beta-blocker administrations, caseloads, case complications, procedure logs, and medication records. Even today many departments rely on manual checks for even the most basic documentation and quality metric compliance, which can be time consuming and costly. Using medical informatics tools is a highly efficient alternative. Fortunately, many software tools exist within most modern EHR packages, and most people can learn to use these tools productively.

    Abstract An alarming and distressing delayed inflammatory response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged in children and adolescents, a population previously thought to have been largely spared by this global pandemic. In April 2020, clinicians in the United Kingdom identified eight cases of previously healthy children testing positive for current or recent infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) presenting with Kawasaki disease-like features. From April 16 to May 4, 2020, New York City reported that 15 patients aged 2-15 years were hospitalized with a similar multisystem inflammatory syndrome, many requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This syndrome is referred to either as pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome, or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). We present the case of an eight-year-old with MIS-C who developed carotid artery dissection following venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) cannulation, followed by a subsequent hemorrhagic stroke in the basal ganglia.

    Abstract Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is the most common form of pancreatic cancer in adults, although extremely rare before the age of 40 years. It is known that the cytology of chronic pancreatitis can mimic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We present a case of a 13-year-old male with chronic pancreatitis that was misdiagnosed as PAC. The patient subsequently underwent a Whipple procedure, highlighting the importance of a correct diagnosis prior to undergoing invasive surgical procedures.

    Abstract Background: Pediatric non-accidental trauma often necessitates the involvement of protective services. However, the subjectivity and lack of standardization of referral infrastructure may result in some discrepancies between referral patterns and instances of child abuse.
    Methods: An institutional retrospective chart review was conducted between 2015 and 2021, in which all cases of patients under the age of 14 who suffered a burn injury and received a child protective service (CPS) consult were reviewed. Baseline demographics and characteristics were defined. Multivariate analysis was utilized to identify predictors of CPS involvement, while the regression analysis was employed to parse associations between burn injuries and CPS involvement.
    Results: Between July 2015 and December 2021, 340 patients (median age two years, IQR: 1-6 years) under the age of 14 who experienced a burn injury were evaluated. Forty-four (12.9%) of the patients' cases received a CPS referral, of which three (0.9%) resulted in a CPS intervention. The most common mechanism of burn within the cohort was scald (241 patients, 70.9%). The median total body surface area (TBSA) was 3.0% (IQR: 1.0%-6.0%), and 76 (22.4%) suffered a high TBSA (>75
    Conclusion: Hospitalized pediatric burn injuries must be investigated due to concern of child abuse, yet external factors such as race and socioeconomic status may play a role in the involvement of CPS. Such referrals may not always be substantiated and could lead to further injurious sequelae for children and their families.

    Abstract Congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is a rare infantile abdominal tumor that is highly curable with early surgical intervention. However, chronic, unrecognized tumor burden can cause significant compression of local vascular and solid structures, resulting in multi-systemic end-organ dysfunction. In this case report, we describe the effects of chronic abdominal compartment syndrome in an infant due to a solid renal tumor and its anesthetic implications.

    Abstract The desmoglein 3 18q11 gene mutation has not been well described in humans, except for a few case reports. The desmoglein 3 gene controls a transmembrane component of the desmosome complex that mediates epidermal cell adhesion and integrity of the oropharyngeal mucosa. We present two fraternal twin infants who exhibited features of airway compromise and respiratory distress shortly after birth. These infants presented with chronic, cyclical sloughing of the upper airway, larynx, and pharynx associated with difficult airway management and eventual respiratory failure. It is imperative that practitioners be aware of the severity of this rare mutation.
