A pilot study of combination therapy with indinavir, stavudine (d4T), and didanosine (ddI) in children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.

Twelve children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus were treated orally with indinavir, stavudine, plus didanosine for 12 to 48 weeks. Therapy was limited in some cases by nonadherence, intolerance, toxicity, and virologic failure. Marked increases in CD4+ lymphocyte counts and decreases in plasma human immunodeficiency virus RNA concentrations suggest that the regimen has potent antiviral activity.

Pediatric nurse practitioners develop ambulatory surgery cardiac program.

The major objective for the Pediatric Cardiac Day Surgery Program at Children's Medical Center of Dallas is to promote cost-effectiveness while the quality of physical and psychosocial preparation of the child having cardiac surgery is maintained. The pediatric patients have comprehensive preoperative workups and teaching provided by pediatric nurse practitioners. The unique knowledge base, expertise, and clinical skills of the pediatric nurse practitioner have enabled the program not only to succeed but also to pave the way for the utilization of the Day Surgery Unit by many other surgical services.
