Screening and Treatment of Common Lipid Disorders in Adolescents.
Authors: Bialo SR, Boney CM Abstract Cardiovascular disease remains a substantial health care burden in the adult population, the roots of which begin in childhood. Universal screening for dyslipidemia in all children and adolescents has been implemented to identify cases of FH that are otherwise missed by conventional screening because untreated FH can result in early CVD and untimely death. Recommendations for medical therapy did not change with the 2011 NHLBI guidelines. LDL levels targeted for therapy usually are elevated because of primary genetic disorders such as FH. Although these recommendations r...

Prevention and Management of Pregnancy in Adolescents with Endocrine Disorders.
Authors: Hillard PJ Abstract Because 83% of adolescent pregnancies among teens 15 to 19 years old are unintended and because adolescents with chronic medical conditions are as likely to be sexually involved as are healthy teens, preventing unintended pregnancies among teens with chronic endocrine conditions, including diabetes mellitus (both types 1 and 2), PCOS, and thyroid dysfunction, is critically important. Evidence-based guidelines are available to assist with assessment of the risks versus the benefits of specific options for contraception in teens with these and other medical conditions. In many te...

An adolescent evaluated for chronic fatigue: does she have a sleep disorder?
Authors: Gonzalez M, Fisher M Abstract A 13-year-old girl presented to our Division of Adolescent Medicine for evaluation of ongoing fatigue. She and her mother reported that 15 months earlier, when the patient was in the 7th grade, she started to be tired and "sleep all the time." They do not remember her being ill at that time; a test for mononucleosis was reportedly positive, but Epstein-Barr virus titers showed "old disease." She remained fatigued throughout 7th grade but attended school without falling asleep; however, she was too tired to do her work and had to attend summer school. The patient recei...
