📢 Important Update from USPSTF! 📢 ➡️Read more: https://bit.ly/4cx7Tpf 🩺 Researchers at the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommend clinicians refer children and adolescents 6 years or older with a high BMI to intensive behavioral interventions. 📊 The high prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents in the US is concerning, especially among certain ethnic groups and lower-income families. 🏥 Intensive behavioral interventions can make a significant difference in improving health outcomes for our youth. 🩺 Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in addressing this issue, especially among ethnic minorities and lower-income families.

The American Academy of Pediatrics needs your help! They are looking for pediatric providers to complete a survey to help them better understand children’s #mentalhealth care in #pediatric #primarycare settings. AAP is gathering insights related to current mental health screening practices, resources used, and barriers or challenges faced; mental and behavioral health training needs; Pediatric Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) program awareness, usage patterns, and barriers or challenges faced; and primary healthcare training needs. The AAP will use this information to develop resources and implement technical assistance activities to support pediatric providers in promoting and addressing mental and relational health with children, adolescents, and families. Completion of this survey is completely voluntary. It should only take 10-15 minutes to complete. Survey participants may refuse to answer any question for any reason, and they may stop at any time. Individual responses will be anonymous and will not be attributed to any identifiable information provided. Access the survey here: https://lnkd.in/gqKsZmUD

Clinicians may struggle to recognize Giggle Incontinence (GI) issues in children and preadolescents due to a lack of disclosure, often caused by embarrassment. One such issue is giggle incontinence, which can be difficult to treat. However, first-line treatment options include reassurance of cure, timed voiding or bowel management, and biofeedback and Kegel exercises, regardless of GI severity. Second-line treatment with oxybutynin and timed voiding could be tried, followed by third-line treatment with MPH, though this option may be objectionable to some parents due to its association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Learn more about GI issues in children and preadolescents in this case report from Canadian Family Physician. #pediatrics #GIissues #healthcare

I’m excited to share that I have earned my "Congenital Hypothyroidism: What Every Primary Care Provider Needs to Know" from Stanford University School of Medicine. I’ve gained valuable insights into Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) to ensure early diagnosis and effective management. CH can have significant impacts on growth and development if not treated promptly. Here are some key points to consider: Early Screening and Diagnosis: Newborn screening is essential for early detection. Confirmatory testing should follow any abnormal screening results. Treatment Initiation: Starting levothyroxine treatment as soon as possible is critical to prevent developmental delays. Monitoring and Adjustment: Regular monitoring of TSH and free T4 levels helps in adjusting the dosage to maintain optimal thyroid function. Parental Education: Educating parents about the importance of medication adherence and regular follow-ups is vital for the child’s health. #PrimaryCare #Pediatrics #CongenitalHypothyroidism #Healthcare
