摘要:
A review of recent literature helps to clarify normal variations in the physical examination of children who are thought to have been sexually abused. In many instances, no abnormal physical findings are discovered. Clinicians must continue to pay careful attention to the history and work with other professionals to implement appropriate management, despite the lack of physical findings. Guidelines for evaluating sudden and unexpected infant deaths are reviewed. The current recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics for infant sleep positions are discussed in light of epidemiologic studies in the United States and other countries. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder appears to respond best to a combination of stimulant medication, parent training in coping with behavior of affected children, and social skill training for the affected children themselves. A review of recent research failed to reach consistent correlations between resistance to thyroid hormone and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
