Child Maltreatment. An Introduction To The Medical Evaluation

~~304,75€~~ 274,28€ 10% OFF

 As educators as well as clinicians, we recognized the scarcity of specific books designed to address the needs of the resident trainee in this important area of pediatric practice. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and others have published a number of guidelines, pocket materials and more definitive reference texts as well as general texts for child abuse; however, this book specifically addresses the need for easily accessible materials outlining the medical approach to child abuse and neglect for pediatric and family medicine trainees as well as other professionals working with children. It is a collection of materials which covers a range of topics and serves as a repository for materials we have found helpful when teaching about child abuse and neglect. In addition, it provides information for more advanced students and trainees who want to learn more than can be learned during standard rotations and clinical experiences. Child abuse identification, treatment and prevention is the responsibility of us all, and our hope is that all practitioners will recognize their responsibility to use their unique skills to provide the best care and treatment possible for this important and vulnerable pediatric population.

Why Do Children Die? Selective Perspectives On Thanatology In Pediatrics

304,75€ + 10% CARD

 As we reflect on causes of death in our children, methods of prevention become critically important to research and implement. Research notes that millions of childhood injuries result in thousands of deaths. Death can be due to medical disease and considerable progress including prevention of death has been made in management of cancer and other conditions over the past century, especially in developed countries. It is also important to apply principles of management and prevention to consequences of aggression and chronic illness. As illustrated in this book, we must look at underlying issues, both medical and behavioral, in the physical and psychiatric health of our children. We should apply known principles of preventive medicine that are being researched in the 21st century to prevent needless deaths in our pediatric population. Prevention may arise from such understanding and application of known concepts with fewer pediatric deaths and fewer parents/families undergoing heart-breaking grieving processes.

Pediatrics And Adolescent Health: Recent International Research

304,75€ + 10% CARD

 About one in four youths used a tobacco product during the past 30 days. By school level, this is approximately three in ten high school students and one in eight middle school students. Since 2014, e-cigarettes have been the most commonly used tobacco product among youths. It is reasonable to assume that many young smokers are practicing this habit while with friends or at parties, exposing their friends and peers to hazardous passive smoking, which is also the case for smaller children exposed to their parental smoking. Smoking is just one important public health issue in childhood and adolescence, but there are many other issues in this period of our development. In this book we have gathered some recent research on children and youth from various places around the world on many topics, not just limited to smoking, which we hope will be of interest to the reader.

Caring For The Newborn: A Comprehensive Guide For The Clinician. Second Edition

410,75€ + 10% CARD

 This book summarizes the state of cognoscibility regarding normal newborn care that has been accumulated over the past centuries, especially the 20th and now 21st century. The preface/introduction details historical concepts that have followed newborns over the millennia of Homo sapiens sapiens’ existence, such as infanticide, breast feeding, swaddling, neonatal resuscitation, and principles of caring for newborns. The mortality rate of newborns has been reduced in many parts of the world in the past two centuries, and we have learned much about how to keep increasing numbers of newborns alive and healthy. This is especially seen when healthcare providers and society collaborate in this important endeavor that includes emphasizing known preventive principles. Current modern pediatric and perinatal treatments allow newborns in the current 21st century America to have a start on an overall life expectancy of 78.5 years (up to 76 years in males and 80.9 years in females) if they receive meticulous medical care, and even if they are born into a penurious state. Such deserved care and inevitable medical discoveries will only lengthen these life trajectories. This second edition updates principles of caring for the newborn that were identified in the first edition. It considers the newborn examination, newborn screening, safe-sleep concepts, mother and newborn skin-to-skin contact, effects of prenatal drug use, mental health issues in the newborn, maternal mood disorders, infant feeding, circumcision, anticipatory guidance, and concepts of surgery in the newborn. Also considered are selective disorders found in some newborns that includes newborn neurology, cardiology, pulmonology, nephrology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and dermatology.

Preventing Child Abuse: Critical Roles And Multiple Perspectives

304,75€ + 10% CARD

 When we think of child abuse, we imagine several different forms of harmful parenting and injuries to children. Most are not visible to the naked eye, but can be seen if you look more deeply. X-rays can detect fractures and other imaging can find internal injury and bleeding, but most maltreated children have more long-lasting harm that reveals itself through behavioral and emotional maladjustment, developmental delay, sadness, and other destructive behaviors later in childhood, adolescence and into adulthood. These injuries to their personality, sense of self, relationship to society and mental health change the trajectory of their lives and dim their potential, with social and financial costs for safety, treatment and their lost personal growth. We think of these as affecting everybody’s children and that the responsibility lies with everyone to respond. This is why we put together this book: to address prevention from a number of perspectives and a variety of professions. We hope that it successfully brings together a number of disciplines and perspectives to address child abuse and neglect among the world’s families, governments and cultures. We hope that those reading these chapters will realize that there are replicable best practices that can be reliably implemented based on child and family experiences and needs rather than single approaches designed to attack single forms of maltreatment, and we look forward to the day that books like these are not needed.

Pediatric And Adolescent Sexuality And Gynecology: Principles For The Primary Care Clinician, Second Edition

410,75€ + 10% CARD

 Adolescent sexuality and gynecologic care of young patients are topics which make most clinicians uncomfortable. This is due to a lack of knowledge and training in many circumstances. Assumptions based upon knowledge of adult gynecology alone may be hazardous for pediatric and adolescent patients. These children and young women often do not have access to specialists who are able and willing to care for their gynecologic issues at an appropriate level. The primary care setting is often the most comfortable venue for a number of these patients. The concept for this book was to provide a reference for primary care providers without highly specialized gynecology textbooks, just to focus on what providers tackle on a daily basis. The first edition was well received and the feedback was good. In the 10 years since the first edition was published, our knowledge has improved and many new methods, medications and devices were added to daily practice. Those changes prompted the Editors to provide an updated version of the book, while keeping its essence intact.

Childhood And Adolescence: Perspectives Of Pain

258,38€ + 10% CARD

 Marijuana (cannabis) remains a controversial drug in the 21st century, even though the plant has been known to human beings for at least 10,000 years with hemp-woven clothing material recorded in ancient China in 8,000 BCE and hemp foods in ancient China in 6000 BCE. It has been used for cancer pain, neuropathic pain and spasticity with multiple sclerosis, and other indications such as chronic pain and also in epilepsy management and current research is evaluating the anti-epileptic role. The potential role of specific cannabinoids for medical benefit will be revealed as the 21st century matures. However, potential dangerous adverse effects from smoking marijuana are well known and should be clearly taught to a public often confused by a media-driven, though false message and promise of benign pot consumption. In this book we will review not only cannabis, but pain and disorders causing pain in children and adolescents.
