The invention is directed sterile to compositions of glucocorticosteroids useful in the prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma and other allergic and inflammatory conditions in adults and pediatric patients.

Compositions comprising a nanoparticulate corticosteroid and an antihistamine are described. The compositions are useful in the prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma in adults and pediatric patients and for the relief of allergic conjunctivitis, symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and pediatric patients. Combining an antihistamine with a nanoparticulate corticosteroid in a single formulation results in improved efficacy.

A kit containing all the materials needed to take a blood sample from a neonatal patient, a pediatric patient, a juvenile patient or an adult patient. The materials are supplied in a plastic package suitable for sterilization.

Pharmaceutical compositions are provided containing a combination of benzonatate and guaifenesin, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Methods of using compositions comprising benzonatate and guaifenesin, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, provide relief from cough, pulmonary congestion or both. The compositions and methods provide relief to opiate-sensitive individuals, in particular, as well as to infants and other pediatric patients.

A wristband particularly suited for infants, has separate printable tag that may be threaded onto a wristband to provide a widened axial segment for clean printing and scanning of a barcode. The bar code is positioned to extend along the wrist so as to remain relatively flat on a wrist that may be a small as an adult's thumb.

Improved compositions, methods and systems for oral transmucosal administration of small volume bioadhesive drug dosage forms to pediatric subjects are provided. The drug dosage form is easily administered and may be delivered using a single dose applicator or a device.

This invention provides an aid to pediatric physicians and caregivers to lay an infant in incline position for use in treating various physical conditions or diseases, including gastroesophagic reflux ("GER"). The device allows for positional treatment of infants without the need for a special wedged shaped pillow or mattress. The invention allows for fast and easy access to the infant in case of urgency, but still avoids the possibility of the infant releasing himself. The device can be removed for washing or replacement of a new device, depending upon the size of the infant. The device allows the infant to be laid prone, supine, or laterally.

A medical garment is provided for use with children patients during and following intravenous medical therapies and method for using the same. The garment includes fabric fitted for the upper torso of a patient with an easily detachable flap exposing an access opening located over the chest area to allow care providers with easy access to medical ports implanted in the patient's chest where most such ports are located for pediatric patients. An storage pocket is positioned inside and adjacent to the opening for easy, safe and discreet storage of tubing and small medical devices. The exterior surfaces of the flap and/or interior surfaces of the pocket may include ornamentation and/or design elements appropriate for children's clothing. The garment is designed to look like a regular piece of children's clothing which is comfortable for children to wear and which helps restore a feeling of normalcy to a child patient.

A method of identifying a site of injury in a pediatric patient with brain injury is provided which comprises obtaining an electroencephalogram signal on the patient. The identification of phase synchrony within the signal is indicative of the site of brain injury. Electroencephalogram signals may also be used to determine prognosis of a pediatric patient in a coma in which an increase in the temporal variability of phase synchronized EEG signals over time is indicative of an improvement in the patient.

The inventive masks and medical gas-delivery systems make possible delivery of medical gases (such as oxygen) to pediatric patients with faces too small to be comfortably served by conventional masks and systems sized for adults. The inventive masks minimize the surface area of the baby's face being covered and also balance tubing and related parts contacting the baby. In addition, it allows efficient delivery of required pressure, while minimizing any leak of delivered oxygen or gas outside the breathing system.

A device for emergency transport of pediatric patients that safely and efficiently transports a pediatric patient to a medical facility is described. The device facilitates a variety of rapid attachment mechanisms to support emergency medical personnel's ongoing need to quickly transport pediatric patients despite continuously, significantly changing specifications for conventional stretchers. Additionally, the device provides for safer, more stable transport of infants and more effective treatment of children with severe temperature imbalances.

A device for emergency transport of pediatric patients that safely and efficiently transports a pediatric patient to a medical facility. To confine the patient to the device frame, it includes a child restraint in the form of a restraining belt assembly. The device accommodates children of varying size using the restraining belt assembly. The device also includes a hinge assembly that controls the relative rotation of portions of the frame. A clamp that can releasably attach to an object with a rail, such as a medical transport device is also described. To increase efficiency, the clamp includes a width accommodation feature and a universality feature. These features enable it to secure the device to objects of varying shapes and widths.

An embodiment of the invention discloses a magnetic resonance scanning method, a magnetic resonance scanning system and a computer readable storage medium. The method includes: acquiring a lying posture of a scan object; determining a radio-frequency energy absorption rate distribution model according to the lying posture, to-be-scanned radio-frequency sequence parameters and a pre-stored radio-frequency energy absorption rate distribution database; determining radio-frequency energy absorption rate distribution of the scan object according to the radio-frequency energy absorption rate distribution model and to-be-scanned radio-frequency sequence calibration parameters; if the radio-frequency energy absorption rate distribution meets a first distribution condition, executing magnetic resonance scanning according to a to-be-scanned radio-frequency sequence, and acquiring magnetic resonance images of the scan object. The problem of limitation in application of an existing adult magnetic resonance imaging method to pediatric patients is solved, safety monitoring in magnetic resonance scanning of the pediatric patients is realized, safety magnetic resonance scanning of patients of different ages is realized, and methods for pathological tests of the pediatric patients are extended.

A sensory pelvic garment for pediatric patients with various pressure panels to assist with inhibition or facilitation for hypotonic or hypertonic muscle tone. The garment is used to treat pediatric patients with neurological muscular impairments by providing pressure to inhibit abnormal muscle tone and to facilitate postural awareness.

Compositions comprising a cancer drug, a continuous oral dosing schedule with a drug which binds to the colchicine site of tubulin β-subunits, and methods of treating cancer in a pediatric patient using continuous dosing schedules are disclosed.
