El examen genital de las niñas y de las adolescentes es sencillo, rápido y bien tolerado cuando en la consulta se logran las condiciones adecuadas. Pese a esto, en muchas ocasiones la revisación es postergada u obviada por el medico o el pediatra tratante y el hecho de no efectuarla implica perder, a veces, la posibilidad de diagnosticar y resolver tempranamente muchas patologias. La obra aborda los temas de mayor importancia y presentacion en las niñas y adolescentes. Ofrece medidas preventivas y de diagnostico de infecciones vulvovaginales, cancer de cuello uterino, sindrome metabolico, metodos de anticoncepcion y protocolos de tratamiento en situaciones de abuso sexual, entre otros. Una obra necesaria y publicada en el momento adecuado (dada la falta de bibliografia actualizada en el tema), que sera de gran interes para el profesional que atiende a niñas y adolescentes. Esta publicacion es una guia practica y actualizada para los profesionales de distintas areas pediatras, ginecologos, nutricionistas, endocrinologos, psicologos (entre otros) que atienden a niñas y adolescentes.

El dolor, o el miedo al dolor, es la primera causa de sufrimiento de los niños que acuden al Servicio de Urgencias, tanto si presentan una enfermedad con dolor, como el que se pueda ocasionar en la exploracion, tratamiento o realizacion de examenes complementarios. La administracion de sedacion y analgesia segura y eficaz es una parte integral de la medicina practica de urgencias y debe incluirse en el programa de formacion de los medicos residentes. Actualmente, el tratamiento de la ansiedad y el dolor en los niños se considera un reto imprescindible para la atencion de calidad. Los objetivos de la sedoanalgesia son: aliviar el dolor, calmar al paciente agitado o con miedo y preparar al paciente para tolerar tecnicas invasivas o displacenteras que se realicen. Sin embargo, la sedacion y analgesia farmacologicas en el niño no estan exentas de riesgos, que son mayores a menor edad del niño, y es preciso que los profesionales esten adecuadamente preparados y dispongan de los medios necesarios para garantizar la seguridad y efectividad. Este Manual advierte de los riesgos asociados a la sedacion del paciente pediatrico, como obstruccion de la via aerea, hipoventilacion, apnea, laringoespasmo y depresion cardiaca. Ayuda en la eleccion del farmaco adecuado, en su utilizacion, en los posibles efectos adversos, en la identificacion de complicaciones y en la completa recuperacion del niño antes del alta.

The books purpose is to help community-based primary care physicians and nurses, and laboratory-based microbiologists, better understand each others requirements in collecting and interpreting specimens, and thus to improve the quality of patient care. The books structure focuses on three basic principles: deciding whether a specimen is clinically necessary; how to collect the specimen effectively, and how to interpret the laboratory report. At the beginning of each chapter a case scenario is used to identify critical steps in processing a particular specimen type, followed by quick action guides to assess current practice and implement necessary changes in procedure.The award winning author of Clinical Bacteriology (BMA student book of the year 2005) has brought together a microbiologist, a primary care physician and a specialist in infectious disease, to produce this concise, highly illustrated guide, of value alike to primary care physicians, nurses, microbiologists and students.
