Focused Issue on Inflammatory Bowel Diseasein Children

In conclusion, this special issue includes and emphasizes a number of important aspects of the approach to and management of IBD in children. This condition, which is becoming increasingly prevalent, comprises multiple facets: full consideration of these aspects is essential in optimizing care and patient outcomes. Whilst this special issue does not cover all aspects of IBD in children, it does emphasize some key aspects.

Focused Issue: The Pediatric Critical Care Continuum—Inside and Outside the Four Walls of the ICU edited by Drs. Derek S. Wheeler and Erika L. Stalets

This issue of Translational Pediatrics presents a diverse collection of articles relevant to the practice of pediatric critical care medicine. Some topics will be familiar and serve as a current state review of pediatric critical care fundamentals. Others will challenge us to step outside the four walls of the ICU and view the continuum of pediatric critical care more broadly. With perspectives on health policy, work force challenges, pandemic planning, handoffs, and post-ICU transitions, among others, this issue highlights aspects of the changing pediatric critical care landscape. With increased understanding about these important topics, we become better equipped to change the care delivery system.

Focused Issue: Innovative Technologies and Techniques in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

In this special issue, we have outstanding contributions from world leaders that concern innovations in surgical procedures (aortic and common atrioventricular valve repairs), perioperative planning and care (three-dimensional printing of models and predictive analytics for postoperative care), cardiopulmonary bypass, and mechanical circulatory support. Furthermore, we have highly innovative contributions regarding mitochondrial transplantation, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineered vascular grafts for pediatric patients with heart disease.

Focused Issue: Endocrine Disorders

In this Translational Pediatrics issue, we focus on pediatric endocrinology in an effort to provide medical students, residents, primary care providers, and pediatric endocrinologists with numerous high-yield principles relevant to daily patient care and management. The topics covered span a broad array of clinical conditions across multiple age groups, ranging from infancy to young adulthood.

Focused Issue: Clinical Practice of Pediatric Sports Medicine edited by Dr. Dilip R. Patel

The field of pediatric sports medicine has evolved from a wide array of different basic science and clinical disciplines. By its very nature, the practice of sports medicine requires collaboration among multiple disciplines. The goal of this focused issue on the clinical practice of pediatric practice of sports medicine is to provide the reader with basic information on various topics directly relevant to clinical practice.

Adult-onset deletion of the Prader-Willi syndrome susceptibility gene Snord116 in mice results in reduced feeding and increased fat mass

The dilemma of diagnostic testing for Prader-Willi syndrome

Figure 2 The three molecular classes of PWS. Blue chromosome is paternal, pink is maternal. The yellow circle represents the 4–6 Mb critical region for PWS. The open circles indicate an active gene, the red cross an inactive (imprinted) gene. The black box indicates an IC defect. PWS, Prader-Willi syndrome; CI, imprinting centre.
