Abstract
Several barriers determine a lack of technological transfer between adult and pediatric care. In particular, this has been the case in the field of critical care nephrology where adequate devices and machinery for neonatal dialysis were completely missing. Where industry and large hospital centers do not provide sufficient advancement in pediatric and neonatal care, the academic world must take the lead even though in some cases adequate funding or resources are lacking. Then, the role of charity events and non-profit institutions and organizations may represent the correct approach to move the field forward. This has been the case for the development of CARPEDIEM (Cardio, Renal, pediatric, Dialysis, Emergency, Machine), where a combination of charity events and academic effort led to the most modern and unique neonatal dialysis machine. This is a nice example of how technological gaps in neonatal care can be overcome.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Pediatrics (EJPE) is a leading peer-reviewed medical journal which covers the entire field of pediatrics. The editors encourage authors to submit original articles, reviews, short communications, and correspondence on all relevant themes and topics.
EJPE is particularly committed to the publication of articles on important new clinical research that will have an immediate impact on clinical pediatric practice. The editorial office very much welcomes ideas for publications, whether individual articles or article series, that fit this goal and is always willing to address inquiries from authors regarding potential submissions. Invited review articles on clinical pediatrics that provide comprehensive coverage of a subject of importance are also regularly commissioned.
The short publication time reflects both the commitment of the editors and publishers and their passion for new developments in the field of pediatrics.
EJPE is active on social media (@EurJPediatrics) and we invite you to participate.
EJPE is the official journal of the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) and publishes guidelines and statements in cooperation with the EAP.
