| Summary | Annotation AM:STARs: Adolescent Medicine: State of the Art Reviewsis the official publication of the AAP Section on Adolescent Health. Published 3 times per year, the journal offers adolescent medicine specialists and other primary care physicians who treat adolescents state of the art information on all matters relating to adolescent health and wellness. Each issue centers on a specific topic area and experts in those areas are invited to contribute review articles that cover the most up to date information available.Each case presentation in this issue has a lesson to teach. As with the previous volume, contributions were solicited by open invitation on the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicines listserv, and authors were instructed to submit concise case presentations with a discussion and a limited number of references. Many of the first authors are physician fellows in adolescent medicine. Cases are presented in alphabetical order by first authors last name. Medical, surgical, mental health and ethical challenges are addressed. Cases include common adolescent health problems with unusual presentations as well as unusual disorders (zebras) rarely encountered in adolescence. Readers are invited to formulate a differential diagnosis based upon the case presentation before reading the discussion. We are confident that even our most experienced and senior clinicians in adolescent health care have not encountered the full range of conditions described in this volume.List of articlesinCase Studies in Adolescent Healthinclude:An unusual complication of rapid weight lossBeyond pharyngitisThe curious case of the disappearing teenAcute neck pain following a large meal and vomitingEvolving neurologic symptoms in a previously healthy adolescent malePicky eater with a stomping gaitFever, cough and syncope in a critically ill adolescentLeg swelling in a patient with anorexia nervosaDo television exercise commercials contribute to eating disorders?Restless legs syndrome: An often overlooked diagnosisAdolescent with an abdominal massTakayasu disease associated with severe osteoporosisBilateral scrotal painAcute onset of nausea, difficulty walking and eye spots"These muscle cramps are holding me back. -A star basketball player with muscle crampsMultiple visits for abdominal pain, constipation and I need a test for sexually transmitted diseases.New rashAn adolescent female with abdominal pain and chronic coughA cheerleader with weight loss and amenorrheaCould it be . . . something other than PID?Weight down, bilirubin up/weight up, bilirubin down: The strange case of the malnourished adolescent with intermittent jaundice, elevated bilirubin and normal liver enzymesHeart-breaking obesityA hairy situationSevere hypernatremia in an adolescent with an eating disorderDizziness and bradycardia for investigationAn adolescent with abnormal uterine bleeding: An uncommon cause for a common complaintA common presentation of a rare genetic disorder clinically mimicking primary myopathy |
