Food Allergies: Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and ManagementEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Reactions to foods are extremely common and the etiology of these reactions determines their correct management. Adverse food reactions are not all allergic. The management of food adverse reactions ranges from complete avoidance of minute amounts of food to ingesting milk after lactase supplementation. It is, therefore, important to accurately classify reactions to foods. Adverse food reactions can be categorized into the 2 following groups: nonimmunologic and immunologic. Immunologic reactions to food are mediated by the immune system, while all other reactions fall into the nonimmunologic category. Nonimmunologic reacti...

ForewordEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I vividly remember a dinner gathering, many years ago, at a local Thai restaurant. Just as the group was sitting down, one woman pulled a bottle of Benadryl™ out of her purse, gave her young daughter a couple of spoonfuls, and said to no one in particular, “She's terribly allergic to peanuts, but she loves them, so we just dose her up before we let her eat them!” I recall anxiously wondering if I would be called upon to resuscitate this child while I nibbled at my pad thai! (I was not, but I do remember later noticing the child's extensive eczema, and thinking that I had just been lucky.) What I needed was this month...

Approaching the Adolescent-Headed Family: A Review of Teen ParentingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In the USA, as many as 1 in 6 women nationwide become adolescent mothers, making adolescent pregnancy and childbearing issues a frequently encountered occurrence by pediatricians and adolescent medicine health care providers. Both social and medical programs focus on prevention and management of adolescent pregnancies; however, caring for the adolescent-headed family is less well understood. For many teen parents, various environmental and behavioral risks contributed to early childbearing and parenting. Following delivery of the infant, many of these same psycho-social, environmental, and educational factors continue to p...

ForewordEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Who is ever fully prepared for the arrival of a new baby? The birth of a child totally changes a parent's life in a way that never truly can be appreciated until it occurs. While the addition of this new family member generally is perceived as a joyous event, it also is well-recognized as a major life stressor often comparable in impact to either positive or negative life events such a marriage, an employment change or firing, or even the death of a family member.

International Child Health: State of the ArtEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article highlights many smaller programs that are operational in the field, demonstrating excellence in global child health efforts, and may approach state of the art in actual implementation. The examples include a grass roots primary health care program, a home-based neonatal care program, kangaroo mother care, ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), a vitamin A program, point-of-use water purification, disasters and children, a pain management program, and a developmental disabilities program. This article also discusses the importance of strengthening human resources for health by, for example, training child health...

ForewordEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Before the Second World War, more than half of patients who saw a physician saw him in their home. This allowed the physician to see the patient in the context of family and community, and to get an understanding of the patient's home environment. Physicians no longer make house calls, and because of time-pressured clinic visits, we often know precious little about the environment from which the patient comes or about his role in the family and the community. As American medicine has become increasingly impersonal and high-tech, more and more medical students and doctors are choosing experiences in developing countries, wh...

Language and Learning: A Discussion of Typical and Disordered DevelopmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Language, especially written language, is uniquely human and has played a critical role in our evolution as a species. Humans have developed the capacity to turn oral language into written abstract symbols that are representational and meaningful. However, unlike the spoken word, learning the written language requires an instructional process, without which most individuals will make limited progress in developing mastery. The connection between oral language development and the acquisition and use of representational (written) language is the focus of this article.

ForewordEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A child psychologist, Kenneth Grizzle, PhD, and a developmental pediatrician, Mark Simms, MD, MPH, from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, have combined their talents to produce an important, practical addition to the literature on children's language and learning. Recent community-based studies suggest that these common disorders affect between 12% and 18% of children, if children with other disabilities are not excluded from the sample. Drs. Grizzle and Simms thoroughly review some expressive and receptive language disorders, including disorders of reading, focusing on the “most broadly accepted model of re...

Managing the Risk of Childhood Overweight and Obesity in Primary Care PracticeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Obesity is a complex, multifaceted chronic disorder that is the result of genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. It can be helpful for clinicians to examine the graphic showing the onset of the pediatric obesity epidemic (). Abruptly, beginning in the mid-1970s, rates of overweight and obesity started to rise and continued unabated into the early part of this century, first for older children and teens, and later for preschoolers and toddlers (www.cdc.gov). Why did obesity suddenly become a problem? Although the media frequently focuses attention on individual factors as major contributors to excess we...

ForewordEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Lay and scientific media alike have devoted an increasing amount of attention to the obesity epidemic and for good reason. Bob Murray and Michelle Battista point out in this well-written, concise review that the prevalence of overweight among children aged 2 to 20 years has reached 32%, and among the same age group, 17% meet criteria for obesity. The fact that the rates of overweight and obesity may have reached a plateau provides limited comfort to anyone concerned with the health of children. Caught as they are between the cacophony of commercial media misinformation and a growing body of esoteric cellular-level research...

Gender Identity Disorder in Children and AdolescentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Gender identity disorder (GID) has increasingly garnered media attention over the past several years: Ma Vie en Rose (“My Life in Pink,” 1997), a sympathetic but realistic story about the tribulations and triumphs of a young transgender child, and “Boys Don't Cry” (1999), based on a true story in which a girl passing as a boy meets a tragic end, focused on this subject. News articles regarding this topic have appeared in Time, the New York Times, and Newsweek; ABC's 20/20 has featured several transgendered children and their families that can be watched on YouTube. The Atlantic ran a piece on transgender children, ...

ForewordEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Pediatric providers are the consultants of choice for parents and colleagues about questions related to sexuality in younger children. One of the most puzzling consults is the request for advice about young boys who only want to wear dresses, young girls who refuse to put one on, and children as young as preschool age who insist on being treated as members of the opposite gender. These concerns have left many of us scratching our heads. (Source: Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care)

Mosquito-borne diseases.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Despite centuries of control efforts, mosquito-borne diseases are flourishing worldwide. With a disproportionate effect on children and adolescents, these conditions are responsible for substantial global morbidity and mortality. Malaria kills more than 1 million children annually, chiefly in sub-Saharan Africa. Dengue virus has expanded its range over the past several decades, following its principal vector, Aedes aegypti, back into regions from which it was eliminated in the mid-20th century and causing widespread epidemics of hemorrhagic fever. West Nile virus has become endemic throughout the Americas in the past 1...
