Aim: Videofluoroscopy swallow studies (VFSS) are gold standard to diagnose aspiration in children but require resources and radiation compared with clinical feeding evaluation (CFE). We evaluated their added value for diagnosis, feeding management and clinical status.
Methods: A retrospective single-centre cross-sectional study of children aged 0-18 years, with respiratory morbidity, referred for VFSS at a tertiary pediatric hospital.
Background: Aerodigestive clinics are run by interdisciplinary medical and surgical teams, and provide complex care coordination and combined endoscopies.
Objectives: To describe the design and patient population of the first pediatric aerodigestive center in Israel.
Methods: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted describing patients followed in the aerodigestive clinic of Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, a tertiary pediatric hospital, between its inception in January 2017 and June 2020.
Aims: Camp "Sababa" operates in Israel through the Burn Advocate Network of New Jersey, to help children with burn injuries cope with consequences of injury. The study assessed adolescents' perceptions of their participation in the camp, and its effect on their self-esteem and quality of life.
Methods: Ten adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds attended Camp "Sababa" in 2017.
