This practical manual reviews salient topics in Adolescent
Medicine. The volume is practitioner-centered, focusing on the
symptoms that bring a teenager to the clinician. Every chapter
begins with a very brief clinical vignette, highlighting the
patient's chief complaint or primary issue of concern.The handbook
is divided into five primary sections: (1) Well Adolescent Care to
include chapters such as the Annual Physical and Immunizations in
Adolescence; (2) Common Problems of Adolescence such as Acne and
Low Back Pain; (3) Reproductive Health Care issues such as
Menstrual Disorders and Teen Pregnancy/Options Counseling; (4)
Urgent Care matters including Acute Chest Pain and Scrotal
Pathology: Pain and Masses; and finally, (5) Special Considerations
to include chapters such as Cyberbullying and Sexting and Tobacco
Use and Cessation Counseling.Chapters follow a uniform format with
vignette as described above, followed by multiple choice questions
designed to test the readers knowledge. Salient features related to
the chapter topic follow, including relevant clinical "pearls" such
as history, physical exam, laboratory and diagnostic studies and
treatment strategies. For each chapter, issues that are unique to
managing illness in adolescents are highlighted to distinguish them
from adults and younger children. When applicable, a broad
differential diagnosis is provided to help guide the reader. Easy
to read tables are included to highlight and clearly summarize key
aspects of the topic and the chapters end with answers to the
Board-Style questions presented at the start.
