The study of pediatric and adolescent medicine is an essential part
of medicine as children react to diseases differently than adults.
As new viruses continue to emerge, and as procedures are updated
and revised, there is a need for comprehensive resources on the new
developments and emerging technologies in this field. As medical
technologies and innovative practices spread in recent years, it is
vital that medical professionals are knowledgeable on the
developments in the pediatric field as well. The Research Anthology
on Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine presents the developments,
emerging technologies, and challenges in pediatric and adolescent
medicine. It also explains adolescent health management and
promotion as well as recent discoveries on childhood development.
Covering topics such as media consumption, neuro-developmental
disorders, and health promotion, this book is a critical resource
for pediatricians, nurses, medical professionals, hospital
administration, behavioral scientists, therapists, psychiatrists,
medical students, researchers, and academicians.
