ALT Infographic from Nationwide Children's: "Access & Efficacy of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy in Hirschsprung Disease," in five stacked sections. The Problem: PFPT is recommended for children with Hirschsprung disease who have persistent incontinence or constipation — but is it accessible, and does it work? Key Results: of 83 patients referred, only 44.6% attended; half came once, one-fifth finished. Single center, 2020–2023. Barriers to Access: scheduling was the top reason; financial stress 42.5% vs 16.1%; needed formal support 28.2% vs 3.3% (both p = 0.02). Does It Work? Incontinence fell from 81.1% to 40.5% (p = 0.001); access was not tied to age or severity. Takeaway: PFPT improves symptoms, but financial and scheduling barriers prevent access; integrating PFPT into colorectal clinics could close the gap. Bottom bar: "Retrospective Study | N=83. Eur J Pediatr Surg. 2025 • PubMed: 39933734," with the Nationwide Children's logo.

ALT An informational graphic on a blue-to-green gradient background. At the top left, a green badge reads "Intestinal Rehab" with the word "Fundamentals" underneath. At the top right is a white logo for Cincinnati Children's with the text "Made possible by Cincinnati Children’s changing the outcome together." The central text reads: "Two newborns lose the same length of bowel, and get the same operation to lengthen it. Years later, one is off IV nutrition and the other isn’t." Below this, inside a large teal rounded rectangle, white text asks: "WHAT SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU BEFOREHAND?" In the bottom left corner is the fraction "1/4" and in the bottom right corner is a white double-headed arrow pointing right.

ALT An informational graphic with a blue background, featuring text in white and bold white fonts. At the top left, a green pill-shaped label reads "Intestinal Rehab" above the word "Fundamentals" and three pagination dots with the first one highlighted in green. The top right features a logo white box reading "Made possible by Cincinnati Children's". The main text is centered and reads: "THE HIDDEN VARIABLE IT COMES DOWN TO PERISTALSIS Surgery can't fix the bowel's peristalsis. The cause behind the short bowel predicts the patient's outcome. So the cause, not the operation, predicts the outcome." The bottom left indicates "2/4", and a white arrow points to the right in the bottom right corner.

ALT An educational graphic with a blue background, titled "Intestinal Rehab Fundamentals." Under the heading "What they see from most movement to least," three categories are described: 1. **WORKS BEST**: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). "These babies were usually fed before getting sick, so the gut is already moving." 2. **WORKS OFTEN**: Intestinal atresia. "A blockage the bowel pushed against, so its movement is often strong." 3. **LEAST MOVEMENT**: Gastroschisis. "The formed gut was exposed to amniotic fluid, injuring its nerves, so movement stays poor." The top right corner features a logo for Cincinnati Children's with the text "Made possible by Cincinnati Children's changing the outcome together." The bottom left indicates "3/4" alongside a right-pointing arrow in the bottom right corner.

ALT An informational graphic on a blue background. At the top, the header reads "Intestinal Rehab Fundamentals." To the right, a white box says, "Made possible by Cincinnati Children’s."

A small square headshot of Dr. Helmrath is pictured beside the quote. Under "THE TAKEAWAY," the main text reads: "CONSIDER THE CAUSE, NOT JUST LENGTH OF THE BOWEL. The same operation that helps one child may stall another. Know why the bowel is short, and how well it moves, before reaching for length." The bottom left corner is labeled "4/4."

On the left, a simplified anatomical diagram of a child's upper body shows the respiratory and digestive tracts. A thin horizontal line points to a connection between the trachea (blue) and esophagus (pink) labeled "rTEF," and another line points to a gap in the esophagus labeled "Atresia." On the right, study details are listed: - n° = 540 - rTEF after esophageal atresia surgery - 0–18 years - 27 studies included At the bottom, three icons with text denote: - Netherlands (with a Dutch flag icon) - Systematic review + Meta-analysis (with a magnifying glass icon) - 2000–2024 (with a calendar icon)

On the left, under "Surgical repair" with a scalpel icon, is a circular anatomical illustration showing an open surgical view of a pink trachea. Retractors pull back the surrounding muscles and tissues to expose a circular blue patch sewn onto the trachea. On the right, under "Endotracheal repair" with an endoscopic device icon, is a sagittal cross-section diagram of a child's head, neck, and chest. A dark blue catheter tube is shown inserted through the mouth, passing down the airway to deploy a device inside the trachea, positioned above the lungs. The bottom of the image includes citation text: "Hut JE, et al. Eur J Pediatr Surg. May 2026. DOI: 10.1055/a-2868-4226" alongside the "Journal Hive" logo.

ALT Infographic titled "Results" comparing "Surgery" and "Endotracheal" across three metrics. A table details the following data: - **Final Success rate**: Surgery is 97.7% (marked with a purple checkmark icon), while Endotracheal is 72.6%. - **Complications**: Surgery is 31.0%, while Endotracheal is 2.1% (marked with a blue checkmark icon). - **Number of procedures**: Surgery is 1.0–1.2 (marked with a purple checkmark icon), while Endotracheal is 1.3–3.8. Below the table, two colored boxes summarize the outcomes: a purple box labeled "Higher efficacy" aligns under the Surgery column, and a blue box labeled "Less morbidity" aligns under the Endotracheal column. Below the results, a yellow warning icon precedes the text: "Choice should be individualized based on each patient and the center’s experience."

The second collaborator logo at the bottom is "GC" in stylized blue letters, with "GlobalCastMD" in dark grey text below.

ALT An infographic titled "Surgical and Catheter-Based Intervention in Pediatric Pulmonary Vein Stenosis." The graphic summarizes a retrospective, single-center study from 2015–2023 of 56 patients with biventricular pulmonary vein stenosis, comparing catheter-based intervention versus surgical pulmonary vein repair. Key findings include: * Catheter-based treatment became the preferred initial approach over time. * Surgery was reserved for the most complex patients: multiple severely narrowed pulmonary veins, bilateral disease, and associated congenital heart defects. * 92% of surgical patients needed another procedure, with most repeat procedures occurring within the 1st year. * There was no significant difference in mortality between the surgical and catheter-based groups. Conclusion: Consider catheter-based intervention first when anatomy allows. Reserve surgical repair for complex or extensive disease. Repeat procedures are common in both strategies.
