JUVENILE ARTHRITISNagging Pain Can Mean Big Problems for Children

Children who complain about gnawing pain in their fingers,wrists, elbows and ankles may be trying to tell you something

you may not have thought about: Their aches and pains may actuallymean the onset of juvenile arthritis.

Juvenile arthritis is the most common of all autoimmune diseases found in children. An autoimmune disease is an abnormality of the immune system that causes the productionof antibodies against tissue in the body. The body ‘thinks’ it is confronted with a virus orbacteria and goes on the attack against healthy tissue.

“It’s a complex genetic disease,” explains Chun-Peng Chao, MD, Chief of theDepartment of Pediatric Rheumatology at CWPW. “It’s not a single gene but a contributionfrom multiple genes” that gives rise to juvenile arthritis. “Heredity definitely has somethingto do with it.”

Juvenile arthritis can start as early as nine months of age. “We can see it all the way up to age 16,” Dr. Chao says. Symptoms can affect the little joints such as the fingers and toes,as well as larger joints like the wrists, ankles, knees, elbows and shoulders. Pain andstiffness that lasts longer than six weeks can be symptomatic of juvenile arthritis, Dr. Chaosays. Other symptoms include swollen or solid lymph glands, continued on page 4

DIABETES IN CHILDRENNear Epidemic, Yet Treatable — and Preventable

The diagnosis of diabetes, either Type1 or Type 2, in a child is a devastating

time for parents. Type 1 diabetes is insulin-requiring, while Type 2 is aninsulin-resistant state treated with pills toovercome this resistance. The incidence ofType 2 diabetes in children is on the rise,and at an alarming rate. According toRichard A. Noto, MD, Chief of the Division of PediatricEndocrinology at CWPW, not long ago physicians typically wouldencounter one case of Type 2 juvenile diabetes every two years.Today, it averages one new case every month.

“It boils down to insulin resistance, due to obesity and lack ofexercise,” Dr. Noto explains pointblank. An expert in diabetes andan international leader in insulin pump therapy and treatment, Dr.Noto says that diet and lifestyle combine to trigger the disease,which can have life-threatening consequences if gone unchecked.“It used to be that kids would come home from school, put theirbooks down, and run outside to play. Today, they come home andhead straight for the computer.” That inertia, coupled with diets high in carbohydrates, gives riseto a mounting rate of diabetes inchildren. “Type 2 diabetes isgrowing exponentially,” he says.

The incidence of Type 1diabetes affects one in 500children. It is a disorder of theimmune system gone wild; withthis type of diabetes the body literally attacks itself. The immune system mistakenly zeros in onthe insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, with the result ofinsulin deficiency leading to diabetes. Insulin helps the body toprocess glucose and convert it to energy. With Type 1 diabetes,these cells are destroyed, making it impossible for the pancreas tofunction normally. Glucose cannot be processed, leading tohyperglycemia, which damages multiple organs of the body, andleads to serious complications. As such, patients with Type 1diabetes must take insulin to allow glucose to be processed againand to achieve as normal a level of glucose as possible. This canbe administered through multiple daily injections by needle, or byinsulin pump therapy.

Taking insulin isn’t a cure for Type 1 diabetes, Dr. Noto pointsout — just a way to control the disease and put the body’smechanism for processing glucose back on track. “The bettercontrol of blood sugar the patient has, the less chance ofdeveloping complications from diabetes,” Dr. Noto adds.

The good news for parents is that the development ofcomplications resulting from diabetes initiates in the older-teen agegroup, where diabetes control can be excellent — if the patientfollows the treatment regimen. “The emotional aspect of havingdiabetes cannot be overlooked, and we at Children’s and Women’sPhysicians of Westchester work closely together as a team to helpparents and their patients cope with diabetes,” Dr. Noto says.

When the pancreas is asked to overproduce insulin, as seen inType 2 diabetes, the pancreas can burn itself out, Dr. Notoexplains, leading to Type 2 diabetes patients needing insulintherapy, besides the oral hyperglycine agents they must take tocontrol blood glucose levels.

Parents should be on the lookout for a variety of symptomsthat can signal the onset of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Thesecan include weight loss, lethargy, constant thirst and excessivefluid consumption, increased urination, bed-wetting, nausea and vomiting.

While scientists and physicians work to cure Type 1 diabetes,managing the disease remains a top priority. Acknowledging thattaking insulin is essential in keeping young patients as healthy as

possible, insulin delivery systemsare constantly being devised andupgraded. Dr. Noto is an expert inthe therapeutic treatment of diabetesusing the insulin pump, a major stepforward in treating diabetes. “Thepancreas provides steady insulinsecretion when you are not eating,and releases a surge of insulin after

you eat to prevent hyperglycemia,” he notes. The insulinpump is used in such a fashion; one monitors theblood glucose and intake of carbohydrates andthe patient determines the right level of insulinto be used to prevent hyperglycemia. Patientsmust measure their blood glucose before eachmeal. There are glucose sensors available tomonitor the body’s glucose production thathelp manage patients with diabetes.

New and novel insulindevelopments such as Levemirand Lantus are also beingused to treat diabetes. Thistherapeutic regimen is similarto insulin pump therapy; however, thechild must be given six or seveninjections daily, but utilizing the

“It used to be that kids would comehome from school, put their booksdown, and run outside to play.

Today, they come home and headstraight for the computer.”

insulin pump therapy is like having one injection everythree days. “It’s clearly a more acceptable insulin regimen,”Dr. Noto says. “For younger children the insulin pumptherapy is clearly a superior therapeutic regimen.”

Young athletes who suffer from diabetes will typicallyalso respond better to an insulin pump, Dr. Noto explains.“It has a bigger advantage,” he says. “It can be shut off toprevent hypoglycemia during exercise. The pump allowsyou to customize insulin therapy, whereas the moreconventional therapy cannot.”

Dr. Noto stresses that preventing Type 2 diabetes is inthe hands of the patient and family, and it starts withmaking smart choices. “It means well-balanced meals, lowcarbs, and exercise,” he says. And for children who are

already diagnosed with the disease, “the name of the gameis to keep blood sugars controlled,” he states.

Patients with diabetes can suffer other auto-immunediseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’sthyroiditis, and celiac disease, Dr. Noto says.Complications caused by many years of poor diabetescontrol as an adult can lead to devastating complicationsincluding kidney failure, advanced and early heart disease,blindness, nerve damage, and vascular disease. Stress canalso exacerbate the disease in children; family breakupscan be particularly hard on children with diabetes. Short ofa cure, disease management is the name of the game.“There is no cure, but there is progress,” Dr. Noto says.“Diabetes is really the only illness where you decide whathappens to you! Diabetes doesn’t damage the body; it’s thehigh blood sugars that damage the body.”

Dr. Noto initially learned how to use the insulin pumpfrom one of the foremost experts in diabetes at YaleUniversity Hospital, the developer of the insulin pump. Hehas seen countless cases of juvenile diabetes in his years ofpractice. While it can be challenging dealing with juvenilediabetes, children and their families need to stay the course.“Some people give up, but we don’t give up,” he stresses.His team at Children’s and Women’s Physicians ofWestchester includes nutritionists and a range of otherprofessionals. “We take a multi-disciplinary approach todiabetes management,” he says.

“There are no side-effects to eating properly and losingweight,” Dr. Noto says. For young patients at risk ofdeveloping juvenile diabetes, and for children who alreadyhave the disease, he offers sound and simple advice: “If youtake care of yourself, you will be fine.”” CWPW

NEW CWPW WEB SITEIs a Virtual Panoply of Information for Families

“Nothing is more important than your child’s health.” This is the declaration that will greet visitors to the newly upgraded CWPW Web site, live online this

summer. Find it at www.CWPW.org.The new Web site will replace the information contained on CWPW’s present virtual

address and is a complete overhaul in terms of look, navigation, and content. Accordingto Gerard Villucci, Chief Executive Officer at CWPW, the time had come for CWPW toreassess its virtual needs. The result is a dramatic new Web site design, easy to navigateand replete with information about the organization, its physicians, affiliates, and usefultools to help parents and the community at large. It’s professional, family friendly, and isan all-encompassing, comprehensive package that will appeal to families, the public,and the medical community.

“It was definitely time for an update,” Mr. Villucci explains. Mr. Villucci, along withLauren Pantoja, Payroll Manager and Webmaster at CWPW, gathered information frommyriad sources to integrate into the new design and functionality. Senior physicianleadership at CWPW was instrumental in the process as well. The new Web site comeson the heels of the ever-popular CWPW App, launched about a year ago. Thousandshave already downloaded the CWPW App. “We really wanted to refresh our image,” Mr. Villucci says.

The new site is different in many ways. It features a fresh-looking Home Page withrotating images of playful children, a navigation bar at the top of the page, a Latest Newssection, a list of CWPW services and subspecialties, and a dynamic new directory thatallows visitors to search physicians by name, location and specialization. Landing pages

feature photographsand biographies ofphysicians, alongwith their locationand contactinformation.

Visitors will find a wealth of information on the site, including PDFs of CWPW’spopular newsletter, job openings, resources for parents, physicians and employees, andseveral ways to contact the organization.

“The new Web site will give CWPW a more modern, professional Web presence, and will reflect the size and scope of our growing practice,” explains Ms. Pantoja. “It is CWPW’s goal to better serve our patients, physicians, staff and community with a more robust Web site, which is attractive, easy to navigate, and has timely, relevantinformation.”

The site is an evolutionary process, Mr. Villucci points out. As such, the future maysee additional features, including greater use of social networking, and the use of toolssuch as blogs from physicians on timely health matters and issues of importance toparents. “The new Web site is a great way for us to continue to connect with our patients,with families, and our communities.”

There is nothing more important than the health andwellbeing of newborns and the mothers who give birth to

them. With this in mind the Children’s Health and ResearchFoundation, Inc. has dedicated itself to ensuring that infants andchildren in the Hudson Valley thrive and live long, healthy lives.

The Foundation was established in the summer of 2010 as apublic benefit tax-exempt not-for-profit corporation. It is based inWhite Plains and focuses primarily on education and outreach,while serving as a resource for funding physician research into thecauses and prevention of child illnesses. Clinical trials are alsoconducted in the areas of mother and child health, wellness, anddisease prevention. According to Martin Gorman, the Foundation’sExecutive Director, there was an urgent need in the region for anorganization geared toward raising funds and awareness ofprenatal and perinatal health, while educating the communityabout the importance of preventing illness among this mostvulnerable group of patients.

“There are other foundations in the region that have their owncharters and that focus on specific areas, but we found there was aneed to target education, outreach and research specifically, as weare doing,” Mr. Gorman states. An attorney with many years ofexperience in the Hudson Valley business community, Mr. Gormanwas asked by leaders in the child healthcare community in theregion to get involved and become the founding Executive Directorof the Foundation. "Child health specialists in our area andcommunity leaders from various walks of life all recognized theneed for this Foundation, and they generously donated the seedmoney. It was several months of work to create it.”

The end result, Mr. Gorman says, is a vibrant organization that actively disseminates information about prenatal health while aggressively pursuing grant money to fund much-needed research.

Formation of the Foundation has helped sustain three distinctprenatal and perinatal community outreach programs that havebeen operated for years in association with the Regional PerinatalCenter at the Westchester Medical Center and the Maria FareriChildren’s Hospital. These programs, funded by New York Stateand the seven counties that comprise the lower Hudson Valley,were in existence for about six years before being folded into theFoundation. Today the Foundation’s programs include theComprehensive Prenatal Perinatal Services Network that assessesand fills needs in perinatal services; Healthy from Birth for Life,which involves a social health marketing campaign aimed atimproving birth outcomes in high-risk communities; and GoBefore You Show, an outreach and social health marketingcampaign stressing importance of prenatal care in the first 12

fever, and inflammation in the affectedarea. Eye inflammation can also occur.Systemic arthritis also can affect thelining of the lungs and heart.

Diagnosing juvenile arthritis involvesa complete physical exam with bloodtests to rule out any other condition.“Diagnosing is really a process ofelimination,” Dr. Chao says.

Juvenile Arthritiscontinued from page 1

How is juvenile arthritis treated?“This is an area of a lot of developmentin recent years,” Dr. Chao explains.“There is no cure, but there are a lot ofgreat methods of controlling thedisease.” These include physical therapy,medication to reduce pain and swelling,pain management, and supportive caresuch as helping patients with everydayactivities, lightening their load of booksand materials for school, and arranging

more convenient class locations. “Thegoal is to get the child to where he or sheis fully active in life, school, sports, andall activities,” Dr. Chao says.

Parents who suspect their child mayhave juvenile arthritis should consult theirpediatrician as soon as possible. “We’llstart the evaluation and rule out infection,trauma, cancer, and other diseases,” Dr.Chao states. “Early diagnosis andtreatment are key.” CWPW

weeks of pregnancy. These program areas are all deliveredthrough the Lower Hudson Valley Perinatal Network, a groupdedicated to eliminating disparities in perinatal health care whilepromoting mother and child health throughout the region.

The Foundation also supports the Children’s EnvironmentalHealth Center of the Hudson Valley, under the direction of Allen Dozor, MD. The Center strives to protect children from exposure toenvironmental toxins and pollutants by raising awareness andmaking recommendations to communities and governmentalagencies. The Center works with medical and environmentalhealth experts at the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital atWestchester Medical Center, with New York Medical College’sSchool of Health Sciences and Practice, and with otherregional institutions.

The Foundation has had success in soliciting private andcorporate donations for clinical research. Grants have beenbestowed to several doctors at Maria Fareri Children’sHospital/Westchester Medical Center and at NY MedicalCollege, “but we’re not limited to those institutions; we willconsider supporting any person in the region who has a bonafide, promising idea for research in an area of children’s health,”Mr. Gorman says.

Seeing fewer babies born with preventable health conditionsis a core purpose of the organization. “This was the genesis ofthe Foundation,” Mr. Gorman states. “I’ve been very pleased withwhat we’ve accomplished in just two years.” The Foundation hasrecruited a dynamic group of independent community leaders toserve on its Board of Directors. Fundraising efforts this yearinclude an annual golf outing at Glen Arbor Golf Club in BedfordHills, and an Oktoberfest celebration at the Double Tree by Hiltonin Tarrytown.

Mr. Gorman is enthusiastic about the work accomplished bythe Foundation so far, and is optimistic about future endeavors.“We’re still only in our infancy!” CWPW
