“I had no idea that kids could get kidney stones.” This is something I hear frequently from parents whose children present with their first kidney stone to the urology clinic at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. While kidney stones are much more common in adults, both babies and children can and do get kidney stones. Kidney stones in childhood are becoming more frequent than they used to be, and boys are slightly more at risk to get stones than girls....

When a child falls ill with cancer, it takes a toll on the whole family. All too often, parents and healthy siblings have needs that get ignored—their focus is elsewhere. That’s why, when radiology and oncology experts are taking care of the patient, we turn our attention to siblings and parents. What is a kid to do when Mom and Dad are overwhelmed and often unavailable? How can a family cope with one child’s cancer while the world keeps spinning for the rest?...

Aortic Stenosis In the normal heart, blood flows from the left ventricle through the aortic valve to the rest of the body. Aortic valve stenosis is when the aortic valve is more narrow than normal and does not open properly. This blocks flow to the body. Aortic stenosis can be mild, moderate or severe. When a baby has severe aortic stenosis, the left pumping chamber (left ventricle) gets enlarged and weak....

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) — an autosomal dominant disorder affecting approximately one in every 3,500 people — results in dysfunctional neurofibromin, a protein expressed throughout the body and involved in the RAS signaling pathway. Virtually all patients with NF1 develop benign peripheral nerve sheath neurofibromas, which are believed to arise from aberrant Schwann cells. Additionally, some tumors undergo malignant transformation. NF1-associated tumors are notoriously difficult to treat. While the underlying primary genetic defect and impact on RAS signaling is well described, recent studies suggest contribution of immune dysfunction to tumor pathogenesis and malignant transformation....

A new study in the Journal of Pediatrics – and the media coverage it has sparked – may have some parents concerned. The study, published this week, found that nearly 46 percent of two-month-olds have a flat spot on their heads. The flat areas are caused by pressure on the skull due to laying infants on their backs to sleep. However, the benefit of this greatly outweighs the risk. Ever since the American Academy of Pediatrics released a study a decade ago, which recommended that parents lay infants on their backs to sleep, there has been a 50 percent decrease of Sudden Infants Death Syndrome....
