The causes of ADHD are unclear. Risk factors include genetics, which is a risk factor for many conditions; exposure to toxins such as lead; and maternal drug or alcohol use during pregnancy. Children with ADHD are also more likely to have other conditions such as oppositional defiant disorder, learning disabilities and conduct and mood disorders. Next month, I’ll touch on the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. If you’re concerned your child may have ADHD, and it’s impacting his or her daily interactions, reach out to your child’s pediatrician, or find a doctor at mercy.net/laduenews. ln Dr. Joseph Kahn is president of Mercy Kids (mercykids.org), an expansive network of pediatric care dedicated to meeting the needs of every child, every day.

t this point, your children likely have already been back in school for at least a couple of weeks, and although many if not most are thriving, a few may already be struggling. Many things can cause difficulty in school, one of them being ADHD – attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, a chronic condition present in varying degrees in millions of Symptomschildren.ofADHD include the hallmark difficulty to maintain attention, as well as impulsive behavior and sometimes physical hyperactivity. Children with ADHD may also suffer from low self-esteem and have difficulty with social interactions and relationships. There are three types of ADHD: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive/impulsive and a mix of those two types. Children who are inattentive may be careless in their work, may have trouble focusing on tasks, may have difficulty organizing themselves or may be easily distracted and forgetful. Children who are hyperactive may be fidgety, constantly in motion, may talk loudly and inappropriately and may have trouble playing and completing activities. It can be difficult to distinguish symptoms of ADHD from normal development. Most healthy children are inattentive at times and to varying degrees – it’s easy to be inattentive when the activity or task at hand lacks interest. Children are also energetic by nature; their energy naturally lasts longer than that of their parents or grandparents. Behavior patterns in children with ADHD are generally consistent. Children with problems at school but none at home or children who are inattentive and hyperactive at home but do well in school are less likely to have ADHD.

Ferguson adds that he and his colleagues only recommend trials that offer a good potential for improved treatment and outcomes.

Childhood cancer of all types remains the leading cause of disease-related death past infancy in children and adolescents, according to the National Cancer Institute.

(The federal Food and Drug Administration is considering that drug for approval.) “It’s something that just in the last few years can offer hope to these patients.” Ferguson notes that organizations like St. Baldrick’s remain key to providing the overall assistance needed to move research forward. “St. Louis continues to support this cause,” says Traci Johnson, a spokeswoman for the foundation. “This year, the Helen Fitzgerald’s Virtual Shave and Share Event raised nearly $272,000 to support St. Baldrick’s mission to conquer kids’ cancer.”

“When I was a kid, the cure rate for childhood cancer was about 10 percent – now, it’s 80 to 90 percent,” Ferguson adds. “That’s due to testing new treatments and better understanding how cancer cells work, and we continue to make progress.” ln

The metro area, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation (based in Monrovia, California) helps make it easier for qualifying children to enter clinical trials that may offer better outcomes and contribute to researchers’ understanding of childhood cancer’s causes and treatments.

Grant funding from the foundation contributes to the salary of a research nurse who helps enroll children for clinical trials at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. A significant proportion of patients enroll in various trials, says Dr. William Ferguson, a pediatric oncologist and division director of The Costas Center at the hospital. Some studies explore the biology of the various diseases to help researchers understand the causes and mechanisms of childhood cancer, while others involve experimental treatments.

Clinical trials form the basis of new discoveries that are moving cancer care forward for children and adults alike. For example, Ferguson points to drug trials that are changing the odds of relapse for children with neuroblastoma, a cancer that usually begins in the adrenal glands and spreads to other“Neuroblastomaorgans. is one of the more common tumors we see in children, and the cure rate with standard therapy is a little bit better than 50 percent,” he says. “When these kids relapse, you can get them back in remission, but it almost always keeps coming back. About eight years ago, a group we were part of started looking at a new drug to see if we could prevent those relapses. And we’ve had very encouraging data.”

“We look at every child when they come in and see if there’s a trial for which they’re eligible, because frequently that provides the most advanced care, and that’s how we learn to make things better,” Ferguson says. Clinicians discuss a trial’s risks and benefits with families to determine if it’s a good fit for the patient.

LESSONS LEARNED OUT OF THIS WORLD

During the experiment, artificial lunar dust will be loaded into a test chamber and evaluated to see how it sticks to various spaceflight materials as it spins in zero gravity, which Cook likens to a washing machine. The experiment will fit inside a small box that’s mounted in the unmanned rocket, where it will collect data once it’s in space.

16 SEPTEMBER 2 , 2022 | LadueNews.com

With a deadline approaching, Astral Orbit has its hands full with designing the experiment, and this crew is fired up to be part of the mission ahead. ln Astral Orbit, realastralorbit.wixsite.com/think

“Eventually, the experiment will come back to earth,” says Alex Chen, a senior and secondary author of the proposal. “Engineers on the earth will recover the rocket [and] send it back to us so we can look at the data we collected.”

Astral Orbit team members felt that each proposal had a great chance at being selected. But the inspiration behind their winning idea –officially titled “Lunar Regolith Simulant Behavior in Microgravity Environments: A NASA TechRise Proposal” – came from Cook’s self-admitted space history“Lookingnerdishness.backat the Apollo missions, they faced a lot of problems with moon dust,” he says. “And I was looking at the Artemis missions and was thinking, ‘How is this going to happen?’ They’re going to spend months and years on the moon, and we have troubles with days on the moon. So how can we help with the Artemis project?” The team is already hard at work building their experiment, which comes due in October and which will launch sometime early next year. Their focus involves evaluating regolith, which has a stickiness that earth dust lacks and can cause major issues for everything from space equipment to machinery. Astral Orbit’s project will use simulated lunar dust to test how it affects different materials used on space missions, including the ortho-fabric in spacesuits and other items.

“Down here on earth, when you get dust on your clothing, you can just wipe it off,” says Jason Zhao, a junior and avionics lead on the project. “But regolith has some unique properties, like clumping and stickiness. And a lot of times, it can get into cracks and crevices really well.”

A team of high-tech Chesterfield high schoolers is taking its talents to theThestars.Marquette High School rocketry team, known as Astral Orbit, recently submitted a winning proposal in the 2021-22 NASA TechRise Student Challenge, and as a result, the group was given the go-ahead to design and build an experiment that tests the impact of regolith (“lunar dust”) on materials used in spaceflights. In 2023, their project will be sent into space via the SpaceLoft platform from Highlands Ranch, Colorado’s UP Aerospace. Oddly enough, Astral Orbit’s winning proposal was almost an afterthought. “We had a lot of ideas,” says Ben Cook, lead writer on the proposal and now a freshman at Washington University in St. Louis. “The funny thing is that this was kind of our backupAstralproposal.”Orbitconsists of approximately 20 students passionate about aerospace, rocket science and engineering. When the competition opened in June 2021, Astral Orbit began developing multiple different ideas, many of which were related to the NASA Artemis program, which seeks to “establish the first long-term presence on the Moon,” according to NASA’s website.

W hat once was an uninspired space within the 11-story President Apartments building in St. Louis’

By Alecia Humphreys | photo by Alise O’brien

Central West End neighborhood has become an elegant library for its residents, thanks to a regal renovation done by Jessie Miller of Jessie D. Miller Interior Design. “The space felt like an abandoned funeral home,” Miller says. “Completely uninspired and depressing. … The vibe was completely transformed. It doesn’t feel like the same room at all. It tells a story and invites conversations to linger.” The architecture of the space played a large part in Miller’s design. “It was effortless to showcase the spectacular original marble fireplace mantel, plaster crown molding and original green checkerboard terrazzo flooring,” Miller relates. “I had a very minimal budget to work with, so a lot of the pieces were dug up from my archives.”

“It is so personally dear to me,” Miller says. “[It’s] a true gift to be able to give so many of my beloved treasures a beautiful home for so many people to enjoy and feel proud of. … Designing gathering places is such a pleasure – I hope to be able to reimagine many more of the forgotten Central West End treasures for the neighborhood to enjoy.” ln

Those pieces included a pair of black Georgian wingbacks, a vintage area rug, orange upholstered French armchairs, an Empress Eugénie portrait and many other delights – all items that had lived with Miller herself at some point over the years.

Bistro La Floraison, 7637 Wydown Blvd., Clayton, 314-725-8880, bistrolafloraison.com

The latest restaurant from Take Root Hospitality – the team behind Vicia, Winslow’s Table and Taqueria Morita – just opened in July in Clayton: Bistro La Floraison.Therestaurant comes from the husband-andwife duo of Michael and Tara Gallina and chef Aaron Martinez, and it fills the swanky space previously occupied by Bar Les Frères, which shuttered in 2020 after eight years of service. Chef Patrick Fallwell, formerly of Vicia, heads the kitchen for the bistro/ wine bar, paying homage to its predecessor with a refreshing take on French flair. “We plan to stay loyal to the vibe and essence that helped establish Bar Les Frères as an iconic St. Louis restaurant,” Tara Gallina says in a press release. “But we’re looking forward to bringing our own style to the restaurant as well, starting with a new name and incorporating a playfully innovative take on French fare and our signature serviceBistroexperience.”LaFloraison gets its name from the French word for blossoming, representing the most beautiful part of the life cycle of plants – particularly grapes. Its 1,600 square feet received a cosmetic refresh from St. Louis’ SPACE Architecture + Design, featuring a pink banquette, sage green walls and artwork by Andrew Millner. The dining area seats 40, with another 24 seats on a front patio. From the menu, guests can choose from takes on such Bar Les Frères favorites as gougères (sublime French cheesy pastries), oysters and caviar, as well as new offerings including an olive oil-poached Ōra King salmon entrée with summer squash, pistachios, black truffle and vierge, a French sauce approximating salsa. “It’s a classic but playful approach to French food,” Falwell says. “Between chef Michael and Aaron and their backgrounds, I think it’s been a fun collaboration bouncing ideas back and forth.”

By Mabel Suen

“The snack menu itself is meant to be shared as multiple plates paired with nice wines,” Falwell says. “If you want to finish with an entrée, the idea is that they’re large enough to be shareable as well. You can definitely enjoy it by yourself, but it’s best enjoyed with company.” ln

producers – Angela Garland can easily rattle off the various farms with which they partner for supplies and ingredients. And more often than not, you can find the Garlands at any one of their Exit 11 locations, helping sling shots of espresso and serve customers one after the next. At their busiest, locations staffed with three to four people can help 70 cars per hour thanks to the two-sided drive-thru design. “I don’t want you to feel sorry for me because I’m a small business,” Garland states. “I want you to choose me because I’m better – because I care more! But if I sell a crappy cup of coffee, you should probably go somewhere else.” ln

A quickly expanding coffee company recently debuted its signature drivethru experience in Brentwood. Exit 11 Coffee prides itself on quick service with an emphasis on attention to detail – not only on orders but also on the brew itself, resulting in everything from cold brew to espresso drinks and beyond that have cars lined up morning after“I’dmorning.actually driven by this place for 10 years thinking about how I could make something happen,” says Angela Garland, Exit 11 president and CEO, of 2944 S. Brentwood Blvd. The Exit 11 new location here replaced Bonaventure Coffee shop. Garland, who grew up in Webster Groves, originally reached out in 2020 to see if the owners were interested in selling but had no luck in that effort. This past May, though, Garland received a follow-up email out of the blue. The owners were moving back to the Pacific Northwest and wanted to sell. She and her husband/co-owner, Scott, accepted the former owners’ offer and then refurbished the space, which opened under the Exit 11 branding in late July. “What’s cool is, we kept one of the former employees,” Garland relates. “I’d say 75 percent of the customers coming through either know her or me through family connections, friends or growing up in the area.”

Exit 11 made its debut in the summer of 2018 in Washington, Missouri, with a two-sided coffee trailer that quickly became a local favorite. In 2020, the owners opened a second drive-thru in Union.

52 SEPTEMBER 2 , 2022 | LadueNews.com READY READERS

oing back to school is an exciting time for most children, but those who approach new beginnings hesitantly will appreciate spending time with you and talking out their feelings. Ready Readers suggests two books to share with your children prior to big events. Writer Emily Kilgore and illustrator Zoe Persico offer a story of self-doubt in their book “The Whatifs.” The Whatifs, depicted as colorfully patterned insectoid creatures, attach themselves to people and whisper into their subconscious: “What if my dog runs away?” “What if I forget my homework?” and so forth. Cora, a piano student, is a favorite of the Whatifs because of her constant concern that something bad mightCora’shappen.Whatifs descend on her in the days prior to her recital. Backstage, awaiting her turn, Cora feels frozen with fear. Stella, another pianist, sees Cora’s concern and gives her a great idea: Why don’t you make friends with good Whatifs instead of negative ones? The good ones whisper: “What if there’s chocolate cake after our recital?” “What if I play better than ever?” Stella’s idea eases Cora’s mind and allows her to work through the trickiest parts of her piano piece and receive the crowd’s applause. Another book that helps to calm nervous kiddos, “Ruby Finds a Worry,” by writer/ illustrator Tom Percival, features an adorable and spunky title character who discovers something interesting in the back garden: a worry. Depicted as a yellow scribble with big eyes and a heavy theunibrow,worry is so small Ruby hardly notices it. But it follows Ruby home and begins to grow bigger each day. Ruby tries to ignore it – but it stays with her day and night. Soon the enormous worry is her constant companion, overshadowing all else. One day in the park, Ruby notices a sad boy accompanied by a similar scribble, and she begins to understand that she’s not alone in her fears.

G

Children should enjoy reading how Ruby and her new friend resolve their worry issues. ln Ready Readers brings stories to life for our community’s most vulnerable children. Visit readyreaders.org to learn how you can bring the magic and power of books to St. Louis area children.
