Pediatric Intestinal Failure patients are unique and complex, and they have management practices and indications that are specific to them. This webinar will discuss intestinal failure with a focus on strategies to enhance intestinal adaption, facilitate enteral autonomy, minimize nutritional deficiencies, promote growth and development, and maximize the quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach is critical at all ages and stages, and our distinguished panel will present on the current state of intestinal failure management and advancements in the field of intestinal transplantation.

Blending the art of food and cooking with the science of medicine, this new NASPGHAN webinar series brings you live interactive educational webinars that highlight the importance of food and diet within a patient’s health plan, and how to use culinary medicine tailored to specific GI diseases and symptoms.

The fourth webinar in the Culinary Medicine series will discuss a common problem in pediatric gastroenterology - milk protein allergy and lactose intolerance. The first segment of the live webinar will offer a medical presentation that will define and discuss the differences in diagnoses, followed by a registered dietitian who will discuss the nutritional approach and implications. A home medical chef will then demonstrate two recipes prepared with dairy and lactose free ingredients.

Supported by an educational grant from ByHeart.

Are you emotionally intelligent? In this new episode Drs. Jason Silverman and Temara Hajjat sit down with Dr. Michael Dolinger to review what emotional intelligence is, and how it applies to medical training, healthcare practitioners and everyone as individuals. We also discuss ways to improve and resources to consider.

Michael Dolinger, MD, is the Director of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. During his fellowship training, Dr. Dolinger became the first gastroenterology fellow in the United States to be trained and certified to perform intestinal ultrasound for inflammatory bowel disease activity monitoring. He has co-founded the Intestinal Ultrasound Group of the United States and Canada (iUSCAN) and now leads global training, education, and research efforts on the use of intestinal ultrasound as a non-invasive monitoring tool in inflammatory bowel disease care.

Children with aerodigestive disorders may have complex anatomic and functional aberrations of their airway and gastrointestinal tract, necessitating medical and surgical evaluation and intervention in a multi-disciplinary setting. While many pediatric medical centers across the country have developed the needed care clinics, there is still a demand for access to this type of specialized care with the increasing prevalence of aerodigestive patients in pediatric GI practices. This webinar will provide the clinical and diagnostic tools for pediatric GI clinicians to effectively manage GERD in a child with aerodigestive disorder.

In this episode, hosts Drs. Temara Hajjat and Jenn Lee talk to Dr. David Vitale about EUS and ERCP indications in patients with acute pancreatitis and pancreatitis complications. Dr. Vitale is a pediatric gastroenterologist, the director of the interventional endoscopy center at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Medical Center, and an Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine.

Pediatric endoscopy has revolutionized the way we diagnose and treat NGM disorders in children. Although PNGM disorders are prevalent, remarkable progress has been made in the last decade. Novel modalities such as functional lumen imaging probe, per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), gastric-POEM and electrocautery incisional therapy have changed the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape of PNGM. Access to these modalities remains limited, and there is a lack of awareness on the indications and feasibility of these techniques. This webinar aims to increase that awareness, and raise of level of understanding on when to utilize the advanced modalities in order to improve patients’ outcomes and quality of life.
