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.
