Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a preventable and treatable disorder in children. Hip ultrasound is recommended for early detection of affected hips. The timing of the initial ...hip ultrasound and the frequency of subsequent ultrasounds are controversial topics when considering costs and efficiency. Methods: Registry data from the Taiwanese Screening and Audit System for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip were obtained for biometry of hip ultrasounds using the Graf classification and relevant demographic data from 2016. Initial screening results and final case management outcomes were compared to determine screening accuracy and the number of visits needed to determine final outcomes. Results: In total, we screened 1683 newborns in 2016. Of the initial cases screened within 28 days (n = 1168), 86.6% were negative, 10.1% positive, and 3.3% intermediate, while of the cases screened after 28 days (n = 515), 97.3% were negative, 0.8% positive, and 1.9% intermediate. Screening of the newborns’ final hip outcomes revealed that 1641 (97.6%) were negative, treatment was administered in 8 cases (0.4%), and 34 (2.0%) cases were lost to follow-up. When comparing screening times, screening after 28 days improved specificity (89%–97%), and later screenings were associated with fewer visits needed to confirm hip outcomes (aOR = 0.19, CI95% = 0.10–0.38, p < 0.001) and improved accuracy (aOR = 13.84, CI95% = 4.23–45.26, p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study provides evidence of the benefits of screening for DDH after 28 days, namely: reduced false positives, improved screening accuracy, and a reduced requirement for follow-up visits. Delaying screening can also potentially reduce unnecessary parental anxiety, eliminate unnecessary healthcare burdens, and reduce costs. We recommend performing hip ultrasound screening for newborns after 28 days. Key Words: hip dysplasia, pediatric orthopedics, screening, ultrasound
A group of strangers risk death along the New York State Thruway to save a soldier from a burning truck. The true story, as told by football legend Jim Brown, of how the number 44 rose to prominence ...at Syracuse University. The beautiful yet tragic connection between Vice President Joseph Biden and Syracuse. The impossible account of how Eric Carle, one of the world's great children's authors, found his way to a childhood friend through a photograph taken in Syracuse more than eighty years ago.
All these tales can be found in The Soul of Central New York, a collection of columns by Sean Kirst that spans almost a quarter-century. During his long career as a writer for the Syracuse Post-Standard, Kirst won some of the most prestigious honors in journalism, including the Ernie Pyle Award, given annually to one American writer who best captures the hopes and dreams of everyday Americans.
For Kirst, his canvas is Syracuse, an upstate city of staggering beauty and profound struggle. In this book, readers will find a nuanced explanation of how Syracuse is intertwined with the spiritual roots of the Six Nations, as well as a soliloquy from a grieving father whose son was lost to violence on the streets. In these emotional contradictions-in the resilience, love, and heartbreak of its people-Kirst offers a vivid portrait of his city and, in the end, gives readers hope.

Book Chapter
I’ve always had a sense of loyalty to places and people. As a young child I felt alone, not having a sister or brother, and was jealous of my playmates who had. My sister Christa was finally born ...when I was 21; I loved her immediately and dedicatedThe Very Hungry Caterpillarto her. I have the same feeling for Syracuse, even though I moved away when I was only six years old.
As an adult looking at the photographs in my parents’ photo album, I was especially intrigued by one photo of me at age three, hugging a three-year-old
