Product Description
Using a unique age-specific organization, this book discusses all aspects of pediatric dentistry from infancy through adolescence. Each age-specific section covers the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that children experience, as well as the epidemiology of dental disease at that age. Other chapters explore the examination, treatment planning, radiographic concerns, prevention, trauma, restorative dentistry, pulp therapy, orthodontics, and behavior management of each age range. * Nine chapters are now in full color, providing more detail — especially in the oral pathology and esthetics chapters. * Revised sedation guidelines for pediatric patients (presented during the May 2004 AAPD meeting) are reflected, so that practitioners stay current on pain and anxiety control issues. * The latest caries risk assessment information (revised by the AAPD in 2002) is included. * Text boxes spotlight topics of interest, such as tobacco use, the Alternative !Restorative Treatment, and brushing techniques for special-needs children. * Coverage includes anticipatory guidance, an innovative approach to preventive dentistry — this proactive developmentally based counseling system focuses on the needs of a child at a particular stage of life. * Coverage of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment situations is expanded, with more illustrations to provide readers with examples of clinical scenarios. ...

Easy tobe read
This a complete book which is very easy tobe read. It presents nice visuals as well as very useful summary boxes.

An easy to use, comprehensive text.
As a general practitioner who uses this book to answer fairly routine questions about care and treatment of children, I recommend it highly. It is easy to read and well organized. It openly acknowledges areas ofambiguity or controversy in the field and gives what appears to be abalanced view of the issues. I feel very comfortable relying on this textfor most of my pedodontic questions. ... Read more

Handbook of Pediatric Dentistry
On page xiii Preface, it is quite meaningful to all of us.I write it here for your reference "a lot of players say you can't play that course.That's a bunch of junk.A good player can play any course.You adapt your game to the golf course.You don't adapt the course to your game." It is the spirit of dentistry.Can anyone of us take a few minutes of thinking what's the feelig of visiting a dentist at her or his childhood especially at their first visit?I said that because I met before.The one changed my life and made me having a chance of reading this book.So, it is a good book.Keep it!
The book provides many clearly illustrations that are easily understand and very useful at practice.
There is a special chapter talking about pedo endodontics and writing so details. Moreover, a huge chapter of dental trauma of children give us references to handle the case if we meet.

Outstanding!
I'm a PA student and I love this book! It's probably too in-depth for board reviews, but OUTSTANDING for concepts in which you're deficient. This book prepared me well for rouding during outpatient peds and newborn nursery.

Incomplete and Inaccurate
No mention of ME (CFS) an extremely debilitating and relatively common disease (though less in children than adults).Very brief and inaccurate mention of Fibromyalgia, which is just as disabling and four times as common as ME.Says there is one med approved for Fibro; there are actually three now. Lists Fibro under noninflammatory (!!) pain disorders.

Very good resource
I love the Lange serires of medical texts. They work very well for me in my practice as a nurse practioner for quick look ups as well as for a more indepth study.

The quality we are used to by Lange Series
I am waiting to start my pediatrics residency and I bought this book to start studying and prepare myself before starting at the hospital in about 2 years. As with the other books in the current series you experience good and uptodate information in an easy manner and good layout. Not enough pictures, but that's the norm with this series. If you are looking for images of rashes or pediatric disease pictures then you are better off buyng another book, maybe an atlas. If however you want all the facts on a certain disease, then you are covered.

good for interns
This was my reference of choice when I was an intern at a busy major children's hospital.It's comprehensive, not too heavy to lug around, gives you the important details and gives you references as to where to go next for further reading.It's not always enough information when it comes to specific cases.I usually went to UpToDate, PedsinReview or lit searches at that point.I think this is a solid book to have early in your career because it lets you cover the most relevant material in a readable manner.As a second year, I don't go back to Currents as much and mostly go with articles. ...

What’s the best way to make this a positive experience for both of us?

Helping your child through the toilet-training process may be one of your greatest challenges as a new parent. And when it comes to this important developmental stage, every child is unique.

This invaluable resource covers everything you need to know about the toilet-training process to make this important transition as easy and as positive as possible for both you and your child.

This comprehensive guide answers parents’ most frequently asked questions and concerns, including:

• When to toilet train: finding the age that’s right for your child
• How to choose and install a potty
• Positive ways to handle the inevitable “accidents”
• What to do when your child resists
• Practical advice for common problems such as constipation
• Toilet training children with special needs
• Special tips for boys, girls, even twins

Good Read
Excellent advice in this book, excellent views on children and how each is different. I can't stand the people who are so cut and dry, like.."well this is all you gotta do..." like that is supposed to work for every child. Doubt it! My son is 14 months and I am introducing the potty, he actually enjoys the trips to the bathroom and having me read his "potty book" to him. I recommend this book, and I actually just leant it too a friend who has a 3 year old who has no interest in the potty. Hopefully it will give her some great tips that work for her son as well. =)

Good Book
I bought this book for my 26 month old grandson who doesn't have the slightest interest in potty training.His parents have started to read it and say that the book has many good points that they are going to try.

Useful
I found this book to be very useful. I helped me figure out why my son was doing certain things during potty training.

I would recommend this book.

A must have for potty training parents!!!
An excellent book, I am a Pediatrician and I firmly believe that the American Academy of Pediatrics had the best interests of our kids at heart when they wrote this book.It is informative, helpful, and fun to read.It helped to calm my concerns that I should be rushing my son to potty train, I think I'll wait a little longer until he's really ready.

Definitely above average but a let down for solving problems..
This book was actually quite informative in the first quarter about mental readiness and physical signs to watch for. The problem is that it never targets troubleshooting issues that occur during the training. It seems to go from "Here are signs that you're ready to go potty" and then straight to "Now that your child is trained, here are relapse issues". It doesn't target issues or problems you have during the training process. One section that I was very interested in was dealing with kids who hide when they are doing a BowelMovement. It had a title sectioned with that teaser but no solutions other than to say, "It happens." About 75 percent of the book is devoted to problems you might have (bedwetting,etc) for an older child (5 years plus) who is already mostly potty trained. ... Read more

Pediatric Recall
Good book for reviewing both inpatient and outpatient peds diagnosis and treatment.It would have been more helpful if the book was organized a little different with the most common outpatient problems, such as otitis media, separated out from other info that's more pertinent to inpatient treatment.Luckily, the index is helpful on that one, so an easy flip of a few pages and I had what I was looking for though.I'm glad to have it as a useful reference in my pocket.

solid review material
would recommend. great for studying peds shelf exam.also very handy on the wards or to quickly review something.it has great pimp questions!

Too Much for a "Recall" Text
Although packed with good information, this text was just too big to fit in a ward coat, and held too much information to be utilized effectively, unlike other books in the series.There are better quick-review resources out there for use on the wards.

Compact and data packed
The book contains concise information for USMLE step 2 preparation. Even though it is priced on the higher side, it seems to be worth the money you put into it. For those who want to review their med school stuff quicklyand completely this is a good buy. Especially useful for FMGs. ... Read more

Arrived slightly bent up from it being shoved into packing envelope. Other than that, good book.

Great tag-along for clinicals
I carried this handy little book with me everywhere during clinicals when I was studying pediatrics. It really helps! It has stuff like lung fields and words for different sounds that you have heard when examining the lungs, andmore stuff like newborn vital signs (which vary a great deal between rest and awake/crying periods), and immunization schedules, plenty more, too! Just overall a great little (literally) reference tool to carry with you to clinicals. ... Read more

Recommend for all Pre-Hospital Providers
This book is a must-have for any EMT or Paramedic. It is an easy read but does require a baseline knowledge. It is best used to review during or after your EMT training.
Pros: this book is tailored for all levels. Each topic has a basic level target and then is followed by a clearly marked "Advanced Life Support" section making it easy to get what you want out of the book based on your interest and education.
-Easy to read, not really a strict textbook format
-Excellent points in exam and development stage based approach
-2nd Ed. incorporates 2005 AHA guidelines
-Step by step and photographed procedure index for all skills
Cons: The only con I could find was a lack of some great points from the PALS textbook when compared.
The book alone is filled with pearls of pediatric care so if you cant make a course to get your certification, this book alone will improve your care!

Be safe

AAP's PEPP
As prehospital professionals, we know several things about children; on average only 10% of our patients are pediatrics; we are aware of physiological differences based on age; we know how quickly they decompensate and pediatric calls make most of us very nervous. I read this book in conjunction with taking a 16 hour course on care for children by prehospital professionals; I found the information to be very helpful and know that my comfort level in the field when working with pediatric patients and their parents has been improved as a result. I highly suggest this book (and course) to all EMT's and 'medics. ... Read more

Great for what it is
This book really helped me on the Pediatric Cardiology rotation as a med student. It is very pocketable and covers almost every condition or topic I searched for.

The only issue is that the detail/depth is kind of lacking--but that's probably because of the small size. It was good enough to get me started; at home I'd look up more about each topic on the web. I also wish it had more EKG primers and examples since that's something that a student would benefit from.

I finally understand...

When's the Second Edition Coming?
This is an excellent book and I've found it very useful in general pediatric practice. However, it is now 6 years old--a lifetime in clinical practice. A new edition is much needed.

Medical texts are a field where, despite my love of them, I think real books are obsolete. Tomes like Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics or Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine are too heavy and too expensive. The also quickly become outdated. Far better to have frequently updated information in "the clouds" for subscription access.

Excellent resource for the Allergist/Asthma/Immunologist specialist
This is by far the best reference book I have seen in the Field of Allergy/Asthma/Immunology.The chapters are well written (I wish "Middleton's Allergy Principle and Practice" was this well written) and complete. Charts are clear.There is a small picture section in the front which as some nice clear pictures (although some a a little small)--Perhaps the authors can expand this section with the next edition, which I'll eagerly purchase. Let's hope someone can come out with a similar quality book for the adult population. ... Read more

too much work to get the answers for the review questions
The book is fine.. The only thing that sucks is that at the end of each chapter there are review questions.The thing that sucks is that you have to go online and register and then get the answers.I think if you are paying so much money for a book then it should come with the answers.Students do not have the time to go online and register their book and then have to download each of the answers to the chapters.. I did it and saved it onto my computer but that means that I now have to go to my computer every time I want to check answers.There are over 40 chapters so 40 downloads..

Product Description
There is ample evidence that children and adolescents in large numbers are actively using integrative (complementary and alternative) therapies. Various studies now indicate that over 50% of pediatricians surveyed would refer a patient for integrative therapy, and they would welcome more natural therapies for children provided they were safe and effective. However, there has been little training for pediatricians in this area. Integrative Pediatrics addresses these issues and provides guidelines for pediatricians, parents, and general audiences in a balanced, evidence-based manner.

In this volume in the Weil Integrative Medicine Library series, the authors describe a rational and evidence-based approach to the integrative therapy of childhood disorders and well-child care, integrating the principles of alternative and complementary therapies into the principles and practice of conventional pediatrics. The authors examine what works and what doesn't and offer practical guidelines for physicians to incorporate integrative medicine into their practice and how to advise patients and their parents on reasonable and effective therapies. The text also covers areas of controversy and identifies areas of uncertainty where future research is needed. Chapters also cite the best available evidence for both safety and efficacy of all therapies discussed.

The series editor is Andrew Weil, MD, Professor and Director of the Program of Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizon. Dr. Weil's program was the first academic program in the US and he is the major name in integrative medicine in the US, and well-known around the world. His program's stated goal is "to combine the best ideas and practices of conventional and alternative medicine into cost effective treatments without embracing alternative practices uncritically." ...
