The findings of Adler, Werner, and Korsch1 in their study of 94 pediatric interns at the Los Angeles Children's Hospital (LACH) should be viewed with concern. At the end of their first year of training, these interns expressed less satisfaction from patient care in general and a decrease in appreciation for the social and emotional factors contributing to the ills of their patients. They also showed little or no improvement in their interpersonal communication skills during the year.

Initial Meeting

In the past 2 years a new national organization, called the American Association for Child Care in Hospitals, has evolved. This organization was initiated by the six "play ladies" who are in charge of the children's hospital programs in Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Montreal, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. Two years ago, the Children's Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) in Boston was host to 50 participants from these institutions to found the organization. This initial meeting was abetted by the CHMC's concern for total patient care and was made possible by the backing of the administration and the pediatric and psychiatric departments.

In this issue of Pediatrics the article entitled "A New Design for Patient Care and Pediatric Education in a Children's Hospital: An Interim Report," by Green and Segar, represents a challenging approach to problems that are of increasing concern to pediatric educators and pediatric services of medical centers throughout the United States. It should be emphasized that the authors' plan is a proposed solution to the problems involved, and that the question as to whether it will constitute an answer will have to await analysis not only of their results but of the results of other approaches to the same problems.

Therapeutic Perspective

This article describes a comprehensive outline of suggested steps for founding a hospital-based Yoga therapy program. Bringing Yoga or other integrative modalities to inpatient settings is a very involved undertaking, both from an organizational and a therapeutic perspective. This article offers strategies for approaching hospitals; overcoming administrative, structural, legal, and cultural obstacles to developing a hospital-based program; integrating Yoga into patient care; and working with patients' families. To illustrate the general challenges, principles, and processes of forming a hospital-based Yoga therapy program, this article describes the author's experience of creating a Yoga therapy-based program for the Pediatric Development and Rehabilitation unit at Emanuel Children's Hospital in Portland, OR.

Sensitive Marker

Background: Pediatric salivary gland-type neoplasms (SGTNs) pose a significant diagnostic problem due to histo-morphological heterogeneity. Previous reports have shown that Mucin 4 (MUC4) expression is associated with adult mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). We hypothesize that MUC4 is also a sensitive marker for distinguishing MEC from other SGTNs in the pediatric population. Objective: To evaluate MUC4 expression in pediatric SGTNs. Methods: A retrospective review of 74 SGTNs diagnosed between 1993–2015 at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Rhode Island Hospital was performed. H&E sections of 31 MECs were compared to 3 adenoid cystic carcinomas (AdCCs), 6 acinic cell carcinomas (AcCCs), 30 pleomorphic adenomas (PAs), 3 mammary analogue secretory carcinomas (MASCs), and one sialoblastoma (SB). Samples underwent immunohistochemical staining for MUC4, with expression score criteria: 0% positivity = 0, 1-10% = +, 11-50% = ++, 51-90% = +++, >90% = ++++. Results: All MECs were MUC4-positive, with 25 (80.65%) having an expression score ≥ +++. AdCCs and PAs demonstrated no to minimal MUC4-positivity. Subsets of AcCCs and MASCs were unexpectedly MUC4-positive. As a novel marker for pediatric MEC, MUC4’s sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 79.41%, positive predictive value = 75.86%, and negative predictive value = 100%. Conclusion: MUC4 is a sensitive marker for pediatric MEC
