Goldstein: The MassGeneral Hospital for Children Adolescent Medicine Handbook

This text is practical and user-friendly, addresses best practices in adolescent medicine where practice not only means the most appropriate approaches, diagnostic evaluations, and best treatments, but also the best ways to connect, communicate, and continue care with teenagers. After all, if the physician cannot develop a good relationship with an adolescent, then treatment and follow through will surely be compromised.

This handbook has three sections: general adolescent medicine, sexuality, and mental health. There is also an appendix with additional materials. References and additional readings are listed at the end of each chapter. Knowing that mental health and substance abuse competencies are goals recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for primary care pediatricians, we have included an extensive section on these areas of learning. In addition, adolescents surface in the medical home asking for sexuality services, so we have included broad content for these important adolescent issues. We have made every effort to include practical materials useful for the primary care physician realizing that these core areas of learning may not be addressed extensively in pediatric or internal medicine training programs.

Fanaroff and Martin's Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine 9th Edition (Expert Consult Series) 2 Volume Set

The foundation for successful outcomes in neonatal-perinatal medicine has been the ability to apply knowledge of the fundamental pathophysiology of the various neonatal disorders to safe interventions. Molecular, biologic, and technologic advances have facilitated the diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy of these complex disorders. Advances at the bench have been transformed to the bedside, and survival statistics reveal steady improvements. Nonetheless, although the survival rates may give reason to rejoice, the high early morbidity and persistent neurodevelopmental problems remain cause for concern. Such problems include bronchopulmonary dysplasia, nosocomial infections, necrotizing enterocolitis, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, and the inability to sustain the intrauterine rate of growth when the infants are born prematurely. These problems need to be addressed in addition to the complex birth defects and genetic disorders that now loom as major problems in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The field of Neonatal Perinatal Medicine has transformed from anecdotal medicine to evidence-based medicine. The problem is that evidence-based medicine predicts outcomes for groups but not individuals. The next frontier, individualized, or personalized medicine, requires application of the human genome project to the individual patient. That frontier is gaining momentum amidst a dizzying proliferation of newly acquired scientific knowledge. The translation of bench research to bedside innovation is proceeding smoothly as is the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of many disorders. Advances in genetics have helped solve the etiology of many disorders, and many previously mysterious diseases can now be attributed to mitochondrial disorders accompanied by cellular energy failure. We have also attempted to address these advances.

With the combination of print and electronic journals, the effort to stay current in a single subspecialty remains a daunting task. Indeed, presenting the current status of the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine, even in a two-volume textbook, has become extremely challenging. It is a tribute to the contributors to Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine that this text has reached its ninth edition. We are profoundly grateful to both our loyal and our new contributors who give so freely of their time and knowledge.

For this ninth edition, we have added several new sections ranging from problems of the late preterm infant to fetal origins of adult disease. We have, in addition, completely reorganized and rewritten a large number of chapters and significantly updated the rest. Our accomplished authors and careful editing continue to focus on the biologic basis of developmental disorders and evidence basis for their management. We have also increasingly sought to draw upon international leaders in the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine to provide a truly global perspective.

This book would not exist without the remarkable clinical and intellectual environment that constitutes Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland. On a daily basis, we gain knowledge from our faculty colleagues and fellows, and wisdom from our nursing staff, who are so committed to their young patients. Once again, we have been blessed with an in-house editor, Bonnie Siner, to whom we cannot adequately express our thanks. She is the glue behind the binding in the book and has worked tirelessly with Elsevier staff members to bring this project to fruition. Elsevier has once again provided the resources to accomplish this mammoth task.

Jenny: Child Abuse and Neglect: Diagnosis, Treatment and Evidence (Expert Consult Series)

his book addresses a very difficult topic—child abuse and neglect. Almost every photograph and case study in the book represents a real-life tragedy—a child who needlessly suffered or died. Although recording and reporting their stories is necessary to educate health professionals and others, we continue to be reminded of the extraordinary amount of human suffering contained within the book's covers.

In 2009 the first cadre of board-certified child abuse pediatricians was recognized by the American Board of Pediatrics. This group of pediatricians has worked for many years to develop the subspecialty, dedicating their careers to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of child maltreatment. Knowledge in this field has exploded over the past 47 years since C. Henry Kempe published his landmark paper on “The Battered Child Syndrome.” Although several excellent textbooks on medical aspects of child abuse are available, we believe this comprehensive volume will contribute significantly as a resource of evidence-based knowledge for the new subspecialty.

Child abuse and neglect were not thought of as “medical” problems until the 1960s. Since that time, an enormous amount of clinical research has led to a more sophisticated knowledge of the intersection between medicine and child maltreatment. The National Library of Medicine added the subject heading, “Child Abuse,” to its catalog in 1963. That year, 12 articles were categorized as pertaining to child abuse. Currently approximately 600 articles are cataloged under the heading “Child Abuse” each year.

The National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions has recognized the importance of child maltreatment in pediatric medicine. In 2006 the organization published guidelines for children's hospitals’ child protection teams, advising that every children's hospital should house a formal program to diagnose and treat child abuse.

The extraordinary effect that child maltreatment has over the lifespan has been overwhelmingly demonstrated. For example, the Adverse Childhood Experiences study done at the University of California–San Diego showed that childhood events such as experiencing physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, and neglect increase the chances of an adult developing a wide variety of illnesses, including heart and lung disease, obesity, liver disease, and depression. Adverse childhood events also were associated with disability and early death.

At this point, child maltreatment is as much a medical problem as it is a social problem. The active participation of health professionals in identifying, treating, and preventing child abuse and neglect has become imperative. Thus, this book was conceived to provide a complete overview of the crossroads of medicine and child maltreatment.

The book is divided into eight sections. The first section discusses the epidemiology of child abuse and neglect. The second section concentrates on interviewing children and families. The third section addresses sexual abuse, followed by a section on sexually transmitted diseases. Physical child abuse is covered in Section V. Section VI, containing 10 chapters, specifically addresses aspects of abusive head trauma. Section VII covers psychological aspects of child maltreatment, including diagnosis, treatments, and outcomes. The final section is a collection of 16 “special topics” that did not fit into any other category but nevertheless are important to address, such as child death review, failure to thrive, prevention of abuse and neglect, and medical child abuse.

Although the book was written as a medical text, there is much in this volume that will be helpful to other professionals who work with abused and neglected children, including attorneys, social workers, mental health professionals, law enforcement officers, and social service administrators. Our aim with this book is to create a “one-stop shopping” source of information on all aspects of child maltreatment. One noticeable omission is our lack of information on legal aspects of child protection. Fortunately, there are several outstanding texts and periodicals in existence that cover this topic extensively.

When possible, we strived to put the information in each chapter into context by commenting on the strength of the medical evidence and pointing out areas for which future research should be directed. Although controversy persists around many topics in child protection, the book demonstrates that there is extensive literature based on research and practice that is available to professionals in the field. We have attempted to put information from the best of this literature into a single volume.

Johns Hopkins Hospital: The Harriet Lane Handbook 19th Edition: A Manual for Pediatric House Officers (Expert Consult Series)

The Harriet Lane Handbook was first developed in 1953 after Harrison Spencer (Chief Resident in 1950–1951) suggested that residents should write a pocket-sized “pearl book.” As recounted by Henry Seidel, the first editor of The Harriet Lane Handbook, “Six of us began without funds and without [the] supervision of our elders, meeting sporadically around a table in the library of the Harriet Lane Home.” The product of their efforts was a concise yet comprehensive handbook that became an indispensable tool for the residents of the Harriet Lane Home. Ultimately, Robert Cooke (Department Chief, 1956–1974) realized the potential of the handbook, and, with his backing, the fifth edition was published for widespread distribution by Year Book. Since that time, the handbook has been regularly updated and rigorously revised to reflect the most up-to-date information and clinical guidelines available. It has grown from a humble Hopkins resident “pearl book” to become a nationally and internationally respected clinical resource. Now translated into many languages, the handbook is still intended as an easy-to-use manual to help pediatricians provide current and comprehensive pediatric care.

Today The Harriet Lane Handbook continues to be updated and revised by house officers for house officers, with each edition improving in content from the previous edition. Recognizing that including all of the information we would like to present would push the book past the size of a useful pocket book and that many physicians have access to online references, for the first time the nineteenth edition includes online-only content. This symbol throughout the chapters denotes online content in Expert Consult. This content is meant to provide in-depth information that might be beyond the scope of a pocket-sized, printed resource. The online-only content includes expanded text, tables, additional images, and other references. The nineteenth edition also provides a number of pertinent websites at the beginning of many chapters.

Notable changes to this edition include a significant reorganization of text and figures to improve flow and ease of use. In addition to including the most up-to-date guidelines, practice parameters, and references, we will highlight some of the most important improvements in the nineteenth edition of The Harriet Lane Handbook.

• Reflecting the importance of mental health care in pediatrics, the Behavior and Development chapter has been significantly expanded to include information about pediatric psychiatry and renamed, “Development, Behavior, and Mental Health” to reflect the enhanced content. This chapter reviews the identification and management of basic mental health disorders, including pharmacologic management of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression.
• The Microbiology and Infectious Disease chapter has been completely reorganized to improve organization and ease of use. We have also included guidelines for the management of newborns with in utero HIV exposure.
• The Hematology chapter includes significantly revised guidelines for monitoring unfractionated heparin and Coumadin.
• The Genetics chapter has been expanded to include a hypoglycemia decision tree algorithm and information on mitochondrial disorders.
• The Immunoprophylaxis chapter has also been completely updated with the most current immunization guidelines, including human papillomavirus (HPV) for females and males, revised respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prophylaxis, and PCV13 guidelines.
• The Poisonings chapter has been expanded to include information on lead poisoning as well as envenomation management.
• Given the delicate nature and paramount importance of fluid and electrolyte management in pediatrics, the Fluid and Electrolytes chapter has been broken down to separate these two aspects of management and then recombined with an easy-to-follow set of equations for various clinical scenarios.
• The chapter on Gastroenterology has been reorganized and now includes information on inflammatory bowel disease as well as antibody production in response to hepatitis B infection.
• The Rheumatology chapter features a new easy-to-use table providing an overview of vasculitides, a new section on treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, and a table detailing the differences and similarities among the juvenile rheumatoid/idiopathic arthritis classifications.

Designed for pediatric house staff, The Harriet Lane Handbook would not have been possible without the substantial efforts of this year's senior resident class, the members of which balanced their busy resident schedules with authoring the chapters that follow. They truly are the heart and soul of this handbook. Watching their growth in clinical skill and character since their internship and their dedication to patients gives us the utmost confidence in the bright future of pediatrics. Each of these residents worked with a faculty advisor, who selflessly dedicated his or her time and expertise to improve the quality and content of this publication. We are indebted to both of these groups for their tireless work.

Lueder: Pediatric Practice Ophthalmology

I love practicing pediatric ophthalmology, but I admit that we ophthalmologists often do not do a very good job of teaching others about our specialty. The reasons (excuses?) for this are twofold. First, there is an increasing time crunch during medical education, with students expected to master an ever-expanding body of knowledge. Unfortunately something has to give, and often that means students get little, if any, exposure to ophthalmology. Second, ophthalmology is a very specialized area. Learning to use even basic ophthalmic examination equipment, such as the direct ophthalmoscope, takes time and practice. Mastering more specialized equipment, such as the slit lamp and indirect ophthalmoscope, usually requires several months. In addition, the language, abbreviations, and notations that ophthalmologists use are arcane, such that an ophthalmology note often looks like it’s written in hieroglyphics.

I have had the good fortune to do residencies and become board-certified in both pediatrics and ophthalmology, so I have firsthand experience with both sides of this knowledge gap. This book sprang from a desire to narrow that gap. The basic idea was based on this question: if I were practicing pediatrics and could have only one pediatric ophthalmology book on my shelf, what would it be? Most currently available pediatric ophthalmology books are either relatively short guides that cover the basics, or detailed texts designed for pediatric ophthalmologists. This book attempts to strike a balance between these two.

The book is divided into three parts:

• The first section (Evaluation of the Eye: Chapters 1 and 2) deals with the evaluation of pediatric ophthalmology patients. The first chapter describes the examination. It is divided into a section on the eye examination for pediatricians and a section on the techniques and instruments used by pediatric ophthalmologists. The second chapter describes ancillary tests used for evaluation of pediatric eye disorders.
• The next section (Symptoms: Chapters 3 to 23) provides a straightforward, focused, how-to approach based on specific clinical problems. This is the part of the book that can be taken off the shelf and used quickly when evaluating a patient in the office.
• The third section (Diseases: Chapters 24 to 34) is written in the style of a traditional medical textbook, based on diseases affecting different parts of the eye.

It provides more detailed information than the second section, but not the voluminous amount found in textbooks written specifically for pediatric ophthalmologists.

The recommended evaluation and management of problems described in this book is based on a combination of personal experience and, when available, evidence-based medicine. Many medical problems can be addressed effectively in more than one way, and there are other acceptable approaches to many of these conditions. If possible, I recommend that you establish a relationship with a pediatric ophthalmologist, someone you can contact when you have questions or need a patient seen quickly. Together you can develop a plan for caring for your patients who have eye problems.

Finally, life is a work in progress. If you have any suggestions or recommendations for making this book better, please let me know.
