Data on the history of children’s health in the Samara region and the establishment of the Pediatric Faculty of the Samara State Medical University are presented. The initiator of the creation of the Pediatric Faculty in 1970 was prof. A.I. Miloserdova, who was in charge of the Department of Children’s diseases from 1957 to 1981. She both actively used the clinics of the regional children’s hospital as a base for the training pediatricians and made a great contribution to the development of the pediatric service of the Samara region. For many years her leadership of the Department of Children’s Diseases contributed to the formation of unforgettable principles of the activity not only of the Department but also of the regional children’s hospital: love for pediatrics, academicism, benevolence, decency, aspiration for new knowledge. A.I. Miloserdova prepared a whole galaxy of brilliant students, who both head the Departments of the Pediatric Faculty and implement new technologies for teaching, diagnosis, and treatment in all branches of the pediatric service of the city and the region.

Abstract At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) we treat many children requiring tracheostomy tube placement. With potential for a tracheostomy tube to be in place for an extended period of time, these children may be at risk for long-term disruption to normal speech development. As such, speaking valves that restore more normal phonation are often key tools in the effort to restore speech and promote more typical language development in this population. However, successful use of speaking valves is frequently more challenging with infant and pediatric patients than with adult patients. The purpose of this article is to review background information related to speaking valves, the indications for one-way valve use, criteria for candidacy, and the benefits of using speaking valves in the pediatric population. This review will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration from the perspectives of speech-language pathology and respiratory therapy. Along with the background information, we will present current practices and a case study to illustrate a safe and systematic approach to speaking valve implementation based upon our experiences.
