摘要:
Gay and lesbian youth are adolescents who, in many ways, are no different from their peers. What distinguishes homosexual youth from other adolescent populations is the emotional, psychological and physical trauma resulting from the homophobia they experience in their daily lives. Although suicide, HIV infection, substance use, and violence appear to disproportionately affect this population, most homosexual youth grow up healthy and happy. Frequently lost in discussions of risk and risk behaviors is an appreciation of the strengths very much present in these young people. Health care providers must remain aware of the unique issues and health risks of homosexual youth but must also remember to address each patient as an individual within the context of general adolescent development. By doing so, pediatricians can play a vital role in preserving and enhancing the health of this “at-risk” population.

摘要:
Human papillomavirus infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in young women, and may lead to clinical sequelae such as anogenital condylomata and cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Recent data on the biology and natural history of HPV infection in adolescents will have important implications for the development of adolescent-specific protocols for cervical cancer screening and for follow-up of abnormal cytology.

摘要:
Pediatric providers can expect that 1 of every 10 patients they see will have a chronic, activity-limiting health condition. Thanks to earlier diagnosis and improved therapies, most of these children will live well into adulthood. This means that eventually they will require care that focuses on adult health issues. Providers in the United States and around the world are recognizing the need for coordinated processes to transition adolescents and young adults with chronic conditions to adult health care. These models rely on the participation and input of the adolescent, his or her family, and pediatric and adult health professionals. This paper distinguishes medical transition from medical transfer; discusses potential barriers to transition; examines new initiatives to develop and study transition models; and reviews federal legislation influencing health care transitions.

摘要:
Teenaged girls constitute the fastest growing segment of children and adolescents participating in organized athletics. Adolescent girls appear to have similar injury rates as boys in comparable activities but different injury patterns. To properly diagnose and manage athletic injuries in adolescent girls, pediatric health care providers must be aware of these differences, especially as the literature and their knowledge base may be skewed to the traditional predominance of males in sport. This review identifies athletic injuries that are unique to or especially common in adolescent girls, including apophyseal injuries; breast and pelvic injuries; scoliosis and spondylolysis; multidirectional shoulder instability and “gymnast's wrist”; anterior cruciate ligament injuries and patellofemoral pain syndrome; chronic exertional lower-leg compartment syndrome, ankle sprains, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy; and stress fractures. It also briefly discusses possible risk factors for these injuries, emphasizing the female athlete triad.

摘要:
Topical anesthetics are increasingly important, as the number of outpatient surgeries for dermatologic problems in infants and children is steadily growing. This noninvasive modality of anesthetic delivery in conjunction with a reassuring environment may minimize the discomfort of otherwise painful procedures. Since the 1880s, when cocaine was first used as a topical ophthalmologic anesthetic, many ester-and amide-based local anesthetics have been developed for a variety of simple and complex procedures. The pediatric dermatologist's arsenal of topical anesthetic preparations is increasing with the development of novel vehicles of transdermal delivery and the use of anesthetics in combination. Eutectic mixture of local anesthetics is currently the most frequently prescribed topical agent, though the use of ELA-max, another lidocaine-containing preparation, is gaining momentum, especially in the neonatal population. Amethocaine, tetracaine, iontophoresis, and the S-caine patch, a product on the horizon for use in the pediatric population, also are included in this discussion.

摘要:
Infection with tinea capitis in childhood is a common, age-old problem that continues to plague patients and their families. As is true for most infectious diseases, the epidemiology of tinea capitis is in a constant state of flux and varies considerably with respect to geography and specific patient populations.Trichophyton tonsuransis now the most common cause of tinea capitis in the United States. A recent epidemiologic observation is a striking increase in the incidence of tinea capitis, particularly among African-Americans. Clinical studies over the past decade that have investigated the response of tinea capitis to griseofulvin, the mainstay treatment for this condition, suggest a decrease in sensitivity to this pharmacologic agent, in association with this new epidemiology. Important advances in the diagnosis and treatment of tinea capitis include a renewed interest in the use of the cotton swab method of diagnosing fungal cultures in children, and the ongoing investigation of promising new medications for the treatment of tinea capitis, including terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole in this era of resistant organisms.
