THE QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC PEDIATRICIANS
President’s Message
Margaret A. Orcutt Tuddenham, DO, FACEP, FACOP
ACOP President
It is Almost Time for the Spring Conference!
Only a few weeks remain until
the College’s Spring CME gathering in
Williamsburg, VA. This meeting will be
special for a number of reasons: first,
it is ACOP’s 70th anniversary. To help
us celebrate, we will have a special
presentation by Dr. Watson’s grandson,
who will help us look back over almost
three quarters of a century. Williamsburg
has long been a favorite location for our
members with a plethora of activities for
free time and family enjoyment.
Your Board of Trustees, along with
several invited participants, will hold a strategic planning session. We will be looking
forward to the next 5-10 years in hopes of
shaping a growing and viable organization
for all osteopathic pediatricians, whether
osteopathically or allopathically trained.
On Saturday afternoon, we will have
2010 Spring Conference
LIVE WEBINAR
Saturday, April 24, 2010
Registration opens on April 7
You must pre-register

a session on vaccines and vaccine
safety, where for
the first time, we

You will be able to login for the 1:00 – 4:00
pm ET session and participate in the session. If successful, we hope to be able to
provide CME remotely to members unable
to physically attend our meetings. This will
be a new member benefit and opens the
door to a multitude of other educational
and communication possibilities. Members
may receive up to 3 Category 1-A credits
for participating, provided you are registered and take the pre- and post-tests. The
AOA requires that you pass the test with a
grade of 70% or better in order to receive
CME credit.
As usual, we will have many students
attending. There will be poster presentations, a fun run, committee meetings, and
the popular Conduit for Success filling the
days, as well as excellent didactic sessions.
It’s not too late to register. Hope to
see you there! CLICK HERE to Register.

By Arnold Melnick, DO, FACOP
Love Those Kids
I never follow through with chain e-mails. Most of the “humor” that comes to me is
either terrible or I don’t get it. So I can be negative about email sometimes. But occasionally,
something crosses my computer that gives me a kick and I yearn to share it with others –
like now. Anything that deals with the cuteness or smarts of kids gives me warm feelings,
so here are a few of the “Why We Love Children” that arrived recently – slightly modified.
•
•
•
One summer evening, a mother was
driving her 5-year-old son home and
they pulled alongside an open convertible at a red light. A young lady in it
stood up to wave to someone. She was
stark naked. The 5-year old screamed,
“Mommy! Mommy Look at that lady!
She’s not wearing a seat belt.”
A woman was trying hard to get the
ketchup out of the bottle. During her
struggle, the telephone rang, so she
asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer it. “Mommy can’t come to the
‘phone right now. She’s hitting the
bottle.”
A little boy wandered into the YMCA
women’s locker room. When he was
spotted, the room burst into shrieks,
with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched
in amazement, then asked, “What’s the
matter? Didn’t you ever see a little boy
before?”
A 6-year-old girl ran up to a policeman
who was patrolling near a school. She
looked up and down at his uniform,
then asked, “Are you a cop?” The
kindly patrolman answered, “Yes.”
“Well, my mother told me that if I ever
needed help, I should ask the police.
Is that right?” Again he replied, “Yes.”
“Well then,” she said as she extended
her foot toward him, “would you
please tie my shoe?”
•
While working for an organization that
delivered lunches to elderly shut-ins, a
woman took her 4-year-old daughter
along. At one home, the little girl was
intrigued by the sight of a set of false
teeth soaking in a glass of water. After
staring for a few seconds, she turned to
her mother and said, “The tooth fairy
will never believe this!”
•
The first week of school was over, and
a little kindergarten girl cried to her
mother when she came home, “I’m just
wasting my time. I can’t read. I can’t
write. And they won’t let me talk.”
•
The 5-year-old son of a minister and
his playmates found a dead robin.
They felt the bird should have a proper
burial and found a small box to put
the robin in. They dug a hole in the
ground, and turned to the minister’s
son to say the appropriate prayers.
With sonorous dignity, he intoned his
version of what he thought his father
always said, “Glory be unto the Father… and unto the Son… and into
the hole he goes.”

BY THE
A little girl was watching her parents
dress for a party. When she saw her
father donning his tuxedo, she warned,
“Daddy, you shouldn’t wear that suit!”
“And why not, darling?” She answered,
“You know that it always gives you a
headache the next morning.”

Teenagers a year deliver

Or even if they are from the pens of comedy writers, those kids sure are cute.

ACIP Report
By Stanley E. Grogg, DO, FACOP
AOA/ACOP representative to the Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices of the National institute of Health
1. Human Papillomavirus Virus Vaccine (HPV)
Summary and Future Plans:
• ACIP work group is looking at recommending permissive vaccination for
women aged 27-45; to be presented and voted on at June ACIP meeting
• Quadrivalent HPV (Gardasil by Merck) in males is being discussed for further
recommendation at the June ACIP meeting
2. Prevnar 13 approved to replace Prevnar 7.
• Prevnar 7 by Pfizer is indicated for active immunization of infants and toddlers against serious invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae,
including bacteremia (bloodstream infection) and meningitis (infection of
the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) caused by the seven
serotypes (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) in the vaccine
• Prevnar 13 includes 6 additional serotypes (1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and19A) giving
additional protection.
3. Influenza
• World Health Organization (WHO) is recommending combining H1N1 pandemic virus with seasonal H3N2 and B virus for 2010-11 seasonal vaccine
(Only one shot instead of seasonal plus pandemic)
• ACIP now recommends “Universal influenza vaccination” (all persons older
than 6 months)
4. Mumps Outbreak, Northeast USA, June 2009-Present
• Orchitis most common complication
• 98% belong to Hasidic Jewish community with highly dense living/educational conditions
• Importations of virus from endemic areas outside US (Britain)
5. Vaccine Supplies:
• Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) Vaccine is available in adequate supply;
recommend recall of patients for booster dose
STAY
IN THE
KNOW!
Vaccination
Errors Can Be
Avoided
After studying 607 Vaccine errors,
researchers David Bundy, MD, MPH,
and colleagues recommend the rule of “5
rights”: the right vaccine given to the right
patient in the right dose by the right route
at the right time. Observing this would
reduce vaccine errors.
His group found that vaccine errors
account for many mistakes; wrong vaccine,
time and dose occurred most often, and
wrong route and wrong patient were rare.
The tetanus group accounts for 36%, as the
vaccines, for example, “not only look alike
(Td, TDap, TDap, and DT), but they also
have brand names that sound alike (Adacel,
and Daptcel).”
Other causes of mistakes include
scheduled vaccination being given earlier
or later than recommended, and inadequate
vaccination records that cannot keep pace
with the 30 or more vaccines given to children by the time they reach six years of age.
The authors suggest that computerized
records may reduce errors that occur when
the wrong dose or wrong concentration is
administered.
Further information can be found in
Vaccine 27 (29), pp. 3890-3896, June, 2009.
6. Rotavirus Vaccine
•Added Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) as contraindication
for RV5 (RotaTeq by Merck) and RV1(Rotarix by GSK)

Friedreich’s Ataxia
A degenerative disease with sclerosis of the spinal cord which affects
a patient’s speech, balance and coordination
Nikolaus Friedreich
German clinician and neurologist Nikolaus Freidreich has his name attached
to several eponyms (foot, sign, disease, sound change) but his greatest celebrity
comes from Friedreich’s ataxia.
Friedreich was born in Wurzburg in 1825, son and grandson of two famed
professors of medicine, his father a psychiatrist and his grandfather a pathologist..
He received his doctorate in 1850, and planned a career in pathology. At the same
time, he practiced clinical medicine and steered toward that area. In 1858, he became
professor of pathology and therapy at Heidelberg and was director of the medical
clinic, holding these positions for the remainder of his life. He also maintained an
extensive private practice in medicine.
Highly competent as a physician and a pathologist, he held interests in all
braches of medicine, especially neurology. He was highly regarded as a teacher of
medicine. In addition, he contributed eight major written works and 51 larger and
smaller treatises-- all on a variety of medical subjects.
In 1863, after extensive research in muscular dystrophy, spinal ataxia and brain
tumors, he described the degenerative disease now known as Friedreich’s Ataxia
Friedreich died in 1882 of a ruptured aortic aneurysm.
Melnick Marks Milestone
ACOP Past President Arnold Melnick, DO, FACOP, recently passed the milestone
of 200 published professional articles with the appearance of two of his columns.
All of his professional articles have been on topics in medical communication, pediatrics and medicine. These do not include his multitude of other writings, such as news
items, editorials and press releases.
The two items that pushed him over the top were his regular columns in the Journal
of the American Medical Writers Association and in PULSE, of which he is co-editor.
Dr. Melnick has produced a monthly column for The DO magazine on Effective
Medical Communication for more than four years. He has published six books; two more
are awaiting publication.
