18 Jul 2022Rachel Rosen - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Children00:48:13

In this episode, hosts Dr. Peter Lu and Dr. Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Rachel Rosen about one of the most common problems we see as pediatric gastroenterologists (or as pediatricians): gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. She explains how she approaches the evaluation and management of babies who spit up frequently and why all that spits up is not GERD. We also talk about the care of older children and adolescents who have GERD, including those with GERD symptoms that persist despite a trial of acid suppression. She discusses the value of pH-impedance testing and also explains why she is cautious about recommending anti-reflux surgery.

Dr. Rosen is a pediatric gastroenterologist at Boston Children's Hospital, Director of their Aerodigestive Center, and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. She is also the first author of the 2018 NASPGHAN and ESPGHAN guidelines on the evaluation and management of children with GERD.

Learning Objectives:
1) Recognize the evolving definition of GERD in children.
2) Understand the pathophysiology and management of GERD symptoms in infants.
3) Understand the role of pH-impedance testing in the evaluation of children with GERD symptoms.
4) Understand the role of anti-reflux surgery in the management of children with severe GERD.

In this special episode, Dr. Peter Lu and Dr. Jennifer Lee share their favorite stories from interviews with past presidents of NASPGHAN about the history of pediatric gastroenterology and our beloved society.  Our guests tell us about the early days of our field, the creation of NASPGHAN, the many ways our society has grown over time, and also a few hilarious incidents that happened along the way.

As part of the celebration of NASPGHAN's 50th anniversary at the upcoming Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL, our hosts (including Dr. Temara Hajjat and Dr. Jason Silverman) were asked to interview our past presidents with the full interviews to be uploaded to an interactive timeline on our society website.  Check out the timeline to hear the full interviews!

01 Jul 2020Valeria Cohran & Conrad Cole - Racism in Medicine00:39:57

In this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Jenn Lee, Peter Lu and Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Valeria Cohran and Dr. Conrad Cole, two of the Chairs of the NASPGHAN Diversity Special Interest Group, about racism in medicine.  The movement to recognize and address structural racism over the past few weeks has made it clear that racism permeates into every aspect of our society, including medicine.  We talk to Drs. Cohran and Cole about how racism affects both our patients and the healthcare community.  We also discuss steps we can each take to recognize the biases we have and to take action against the influence that racism has had on the healthcare system.
