    DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS John A. Burns School of Medicine University of Hawai`i 2017-2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS ANNUAL REPORT PEDIATRICS OF 2017-2018 DEPARTMENT Kenneth T. Nakamura, M.D., C.M.O. Professor and Department Chair cover: Wade Kyono, M.D. examines three year old Chase during a visit at the Pediatric Ambulatory Unit (PAU). Note: All patient photos have approved consents on file. Thanks to: Karen Akiyama for putting this report together. On behalf of our faculty, residents and staff, we are pleased to share our 2017-2018 annual report of the Department of Pediatrics, University of Hawai‘i, John A. Burns School of Medicine. With the rapidly evolving landscape of practice and payment transformation, concomitant changes in medical education, discovery in research, and education about “how” to practice are essential as we continuously re-think and re-design our practices. “Every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it gets.” – Paul Batalden, MD However, some things won’t change. We remain steadfast in our promise to educate pediatricians for the next generation to provide the physician workforce for our state, participate actively in scientific discovery and quality improvement, partner with all entities involved in pediatric services and by doing so, provide the best care for all children in our state. As the academic arm of our community’s pediatric system of care, we know we must contribute to the science of practice and to narrow the gap between what is known in science and what is practiced. This is one of the ways we develop and maintain the trust of our community.

    AMERICAN SAMOA In: Scott, D.A. (ed.) 1993. A Directory of Wetlands in Oceania. IWRB, Slimbridge, U.K. and AWB, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A Directory of Wetlands in Oceania AMERICAN SAMOA INTRODUCTION by Richard D. Volk Area: 200.47 sq.km. Population: 47,600 (1990 Census, U.S. Census Bureau). American Samoa is an unincorporated flag territory of the United States. It lies in the central South Pacific approximately 4,160 km south-southwest of Honolulu and 2,880 km northeast of Auckland. The territory consists of seven principal islands: five inhabited high islands, one inhabited atoll and one uninhabited atoll. Covering an area of 135 sq.km and with a population of over 40,000, Tutuila (14°18'S, 170°41'W) is the governmental and economic centre of American Samoa. This island and the small offshore island of Aunu'u are home for 96% of the population. Most of the remaining 4% reside on the three islands of the Manu'a group, Ta'u (44 sq.km), Ofu (8 sq.km) and Olosega (5 sq.km), situated about 130 km east-southeast of Tutuila. Tutuila, Aunu'u and the Manu'a group are high volcanic islands of non-continental origin. They rise precipitously from the ocean, and feature narrow coastal strips of relatively flat land and rugged, mountainous interiors. Only 34% of Tutuila's land area has a slope of less than 30%. The other two principal islands are low-lying atolls: Swain's Island (2.1 sq.km), some 360 km north of Tutuila, and Rose Atoll (8 ha), 260 km east of Tutuila.

  • April '17 Contents
    A Publication of the Silicon Mountain Macintosh User Group Colorado Springs Metro Area Maca Culpa: Apple Admits Mac Pro Missteps and Promises More Transparency April ’17 by Adam C. Engst In an unprecedented move, Apple invited five prominent industry journalists to an on-the-record Volume 33 Issue 4 meeting with top executives Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi, and John Ternus (VP of Hardware Contents Engineering). The writers included John Gruber of Daring Fireball, Matthew Panzarino of TechCrunch, Lance Ulanoff of Mashable, Ina Fried of Axios, and John Paczkowski of BuzzFeed. SIG News 2 The topic of discussion? The Mac Pro, why it has taken Apple so long to update it, and Apple’s Club News 3 commitment to the professional market. I’ll say more about that in a moment, but first, let me Door Prize Winners 4 recommend that you read at least the first two of the articles linked above — Panzarino and Gruber, in Macs & Mac Apps 5 particular, did an excellent job of capturing both what was said and the implications of those statements. In short, Apple did something it has never done before — assemble a panel of reporters for an iOS, watchOS, & tvOS 8 on-the-record talk in which it acknowledged design errors and missteps with the current Mac Pro, Joy of Tech 11 pre-announced a new Mac Pro accompanied by a new pro display that won’t ship this year, and admitted Gary’s Insights 12 that it needs to communicate better with its pro users. No, this isn’t an April Fools prank.
