Seattle Children's is giving new hope to epilepsy patients with a cutting-edge procedure called responsive neurostimulation (RNS). This innovative treatment involves placing a battery-powered device in a patient’s skull to detect and stop seizures. Dr. Stephanie Randle and Dr. Jason Hauptman highlight that RNS is a game-changer for children who haven't found relief with other treatments. Seattle Children’s is the only center in the Northwest offering this advanced option, showing promising results with significant seizure reductions for many patients.

New show: Pediatrician and researcher at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University - The Feinberg School of Medicine Dr. Nia Heard-Garris, MD, MSc, joins hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter, APRN, PHD, FAAN on this week’s episode of Conversations on Health Care, to discuss disparities in pediatric care including how children of color in America receive less treatment and fewer life-saving interventions than white children. Data from a research review published in Lancet Child and Adolescent Health, a project led by Dr. Heard-Garris, found that the strongest disparities between whites and children of color involved pain management; kids of color are less likely than their white peers to get painkillers for a broken arm or leg, for appendicitis or for migraines. Join us as we dive into the findings and discuss policy solutions. Watch the full episode, here: chc1.co/heard-garris.

UK #Thoracic Trauma Practice - #Survey ✍ Managing patients with #thoracictrauma can account for a significant proportion of the daily work on some thoracic wards. How and where these #patients are cared for varies across the UK and Ireland. We are looking to idenitify areas of best practice and assess the impact of trauma on our other thoracic work. We’d be grateful if you could spend a few minutes completing this survey. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ewrVTx-k
