    Abstract Diarrhea is a major cause of illness worldwide despite advancements in sanitation, hygiene, education, and awareness. In resource-rich countries, death is a rare complication, but the health care and economic burden remains. Guidelines have been developed by the Federation of International Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Working Group as well as the Infectious Diseases Society of America to help with the diagnosis and management of acute infectious diarrhea (the most common underlying reason for diarrhea). There are also guidelines available for the evaluation and management of more chronic forms of diarrhea. If we follow these diagnostic approaches and recommendations for management, we should be able to achieve a balance of providing appropriate care to our patients without performing excessive and unnecessary diagnostic testing.

    Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a ubiquitous virus and infects nearly every child before their second birthday. Causing a wide array of symptoms, ranging from a mild cold to respiratory failure and even death, it is an illness that every general pediatrician will encounter on a yearly basis. It is important to know which populations are at risk for severe disease and what we can do to protect them from RSV and treat them if they do contract it. Many preventive measures are being studied, but so far, RSV has proved a challenging virus to capture and control. As our technology and knowledge grow, there is hope for a vaccine, more attainable and longer-lasting immunoprophylaxis, and better treatment options for those who do contract the disease.

    Abstract The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and it acts as the barrier between the world and our bodies. As such, it is constantly being exposed to infections, irritants, and allergens. Approximately one-third of primary care visits involve at least one skin complaint. This may manifest as a rash, a lesion, pruritis, pigment changes, or textural abnormalities. Whatever the presentation, it is important to know the common causes of these skin abnormalities and the appropriate management. Just as important as management is the ability to set expectations for patients, as many common skin conditions can be difficult to treat and may take significant time to resolve. This article will highlight some of the most common skin lesions we see in pediatric patients.

    Abstract Asthma is a common diagnosis for pediatric patients, and something frequently managed in the primary care setting. Due to the multitude of factors that affect asthma, obtaining good control of the disease can be difficult. Managing triggers, medications, and adherence are key to maintaining good asthma control and quality of life. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council has released new guidelines and recommendations to help assist in the management of asthma. The expert panel addressed several key areas and made recommendations based on the available data. Areas addressed were the use of intermittent inhaled corticosteroids, the use of long-acting muscarinic antagonist, allergen mitigation, fractional exhaled nitric oxide testing for asthma diagnosis and management, and immune modulation for asthma control. This article summarizes the key recommendations and changes to the guideline.

    Abstract Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine condition in women, affecting anywhere from 3% to 13% depending on the population being studied. PCOS often begins in adolescence, but diagnosis is difficult due to the overlap of symptoms with normal puberty. It is also necessary to rule out other potential causes of these symptoms before diagnosis. Once diagnostic criteria have been met, there are many treatment options to consider including lifestyle changes, combined oral contraceptive pills, metformin, and in some cases, antiandrogens.

    Abstract Bullying is a pervasive problem that affects all races, religions, genders, and socioeconomic groups. It occurs primarily at school but can also follow children and adolescents to their home, work, and activities. In more recent years, bullying has also taken on a new form via digital and electronic means. The avenues for bullying are constantly evolving as society and technology evolve as well. Bullying can have a significant impact on both short-term health and functioning as well as long-term success and well-being. For this reason, it is important to be able to identify bullies and their victims and implement strategies to stop bullying before it occurs and manage the consequences when it does happen.

    Abstract The thyroid plays a major role in growth and development, and the hormones it produces can affect many different systems of the body. For this reason, the thyroid should always be at the front of our minds when evaluating children and adolescents. The symptoms of thyroid abnormalities can often be subtle and evolve over time, so we must have a high index of suspicion when providing care for our patients. It is important to understand what can go wrong with the thyroid, how to diagnose thyroid disease, and how to manage thyroid abnormalities. Whether it is structural changes in the thyroid such as goiter or nodules, functional changes that lead to hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, or thyroid cancer, a thorough examination and appropriate treatment is essential to maintain optimal cognitive and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence. This article will discuss the most common thyroid abnormalities, how to diagnose them, and how to treat and manage them in both the short and long term.

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in adults in the United States. Cardiovascular health as a child and adolescent is important in setting the path for a heart-healthy life in adulthood. One major impact on cardiovascular health that can have its roots in childhood is dyslipidemia. Universal screening for all children is a newer concept that has emerged over the last decade; previously children and adolescents were screened based only on risk factors. This review addresses who is at risk for dyslipidemia, how and when to screen children and adolescents, why early identification is important, and how to manage dyslipidemia when it is diagnosed. There are many interventions that can be started in childhood to help decrease cardiovascular risk factors in adults, thus decreasing the morbidity and mortality from heart disease in the future.
