The thin musculature and relatively small kidneys of infants and young children do not readily accommodate the rather heavy percutaneous renal biopsy needle with its large, projecting, cutting blades, which has been used with relative safety and success in adults. For use in children, the reduction in length of the adult-type needle usually is accomplished by shortening the length of the shaft. This is done by removing a segment at the end opposite to the cutting blades, without diminishing the projection of these blades. The weight of the Franklin-Silverman small version, commercially available, is about 17 gm. The cutting blades project about 22 mm.

In Infants And Children

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
