Greetings, and welcome to MD News Long Island. Our cover story this month highlights the wide range of advanced endoscopic techniques Pierre Saldinger, MD, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon in Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens and Professor of Clinical Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine, Syed Hussain, MD, Director of Endoscopic Ultrasound at NYP Queens, and Sang Kim, MD, Associate Program Director and Director of Biliary Endoscopy at NYP Queens and Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, use to treat patients with pancreatic and biliary malignancies and other disorders. The team has evolved a streamlined approach that moves patients quickly through diagnosis and treatment, which is of the utmost importance since the greatest challenge in pancreatic and biliary medicine is diagnosing a patient early enough to make a difference in terms of survival. In our clinical section on pediatrics, we examine cost disparities among different methods of performing fecal microbiota transplantation in children with recurrent clostridium difficile infection. We also review alarming trends in pediatric and adult obesity. And we round up other statistics related to children's health.
