- Medical Weight LossFeed Your Body Right: From Birth through Adulthood addresses the daily nutritional health issues of children and adults in a specific, scientific and friendly way. It is not a "diet book" such as a "weight loss" book. This is my attempt to help you prevent the onset of child obesity, early cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and those illnesses falsely referred to as diseases of aging.
- Pediatric CareI am a board certified pediatrician, graduated from UC Davis School of Medicine in 2003 and finished my residency in Pediatrics at UC Davis Medical Center in 2006. I then spent three years working as a Pediatric Hospitalist at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco.
- Family PracticeJay Siwek, vice chairman of the department of family medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center, said parents need to be convinced that the HPV vaccine is little different from other immunizations. "We vaccinate kids all the time against diseases that they don't get until adulthood," said Dr. Siwek, who isn't on the immunization advisory panel.
- Constipation
- ImmunizationsVaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is routinely recommended at age 11 or 12 years. Catch-up recommendations apply to persons not vaccinated at age 11 or 12 years.
- Labor and DeliveryIn some cases, mothers with genital warts can pass the virus during childbirth, resulting in the development of papillomas in the child's respiratory tract, particularly the larynx. (Two other strains considered "high risk" — HPV 16 and 18 — can cause cervical cancer. HPV can also cause oral, anal and penile cancer.)
- Cervical CancerGetting boys immunized is likely to be even more of an uphill battle than it has been for girls, health officials and physicians say. The cancers the vaccine protects boys against aren't as common as cervical cancer, the disease it wards off for girls. And persuading boys to get a vaccine to protect girls against a sexually transmitted infection could be a tough sell. About 1.5% of boys ages 13 to 17 had been immunized by the end of 2010. "We don't expect quite as robust an initial uptake" in boys, Dr. Schuchat said.
- Urinary Tract InfectionChlamydia infections have increased drastically especially amongst middle class teens and young adults. It may be a silent disease and carried for years without the man or woman being aware of it. It often causes a gonorrhea-like illness. There may be severe burning on urination, mimicking a urinary tract infection and a pussy urethral (pee-hole) discharge. The complications of this illness are the same as gonorrhea, sterility being the most feared.
- AutismThe CDC reports that in 1 in 54 students is diagnosed on the autism spectrum. These students may experience sensory stimuli more intensely than others, struggle to understand facial and language cues, and experience difficulty in managing their emotions or maintaining focus. However, these students may also show an above-average aptitude for pattern recognition, fact retention, and focus once they have been given the tools they need to match their learning styles.
- Epilepsy
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)ASD frequently occurs alongside attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sharing many similar symptoms. These are not the only special needs that students may face, which may include behavioral, emotional, developmental, cognitive, and physical.
- Anxiety
- Diabetes Care
- ThyroidDepending on length of symptoms and family history of medical disorders, your physician may get blood work, imaging, stool studies, and other laboratory tests. Some concerning signs are constipation since infancy, poor weight gain, stunted height, frequent mouth sores, a physical examination result concerning for a malformation of the spine or rectum, or having someone in the family with celiac or thyroid disease. Without these concerns, treatment may be started first.
- OtolaryngologyBest, an associate professor of otolaryngology, estimates that in his 13-year career he has treated about 100 people, mostly adults, who have RRP. (An adult specialist, he treats patients of all ages with the disease.) Some developed the disease as children. In others, it arose in their 30s and 40s, a decade or so after HPV exposure.
