Integrating messages from the eating disorders field into obesity prevention.
Authors: Neumark-Sztainer D Abstract Weight-related problems, including unhealthy weight control behaviors, binge eating, overweight and obesity, and eating disorders, are prevalent in youth.

Neurological problems in the adolescent population.
Authors: Parachuri V, Inglese C Abstract Adolescent patients pose a unique challenge to child neurologists. Although there are a number of neurological disorders that present in childhood and persist through adolescence, there are some disorders like juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) that occur more commonly in this age group. We discuss common neurological disorders encountered by adolescent medicine physicians that have been affected by recent advances in the field of adolescent neurology. We also address the challenges of transitioning care to an adult neurologist. PMID: 23705516 [PubMed - index...

What is new in the field of genetics.
Authors: Toriello HV Abstract There is exciting research occurring the field of genetics and this article provides a summary of a few of the areas under active study, including chromosomal microarray, net-generation sequencing, and concepts of epigenetics. It is clear we do not have all the answers yet, but it is exciting to see what the future holds for our ability to diagnose and understand the causes of genetic disease. However, this is still not likely to be the end of the story, in that as we continue to study the human genome, we will continue to discover genetic influences on human health and diseas...

Pharmacology update in adolescents: contraception and human papillomavirus vaccination.
Authors: Feucht C, VandenBussche H Abstract The ideal contraceptive agent remains elusive for the adolescent population. Contraceptive failure is often caused by inappropriate or inconsistent use, and discontinuation within the first year is not uncommon. Various methods have been explored within the adolescent population to increase efficacy rates, minimize side effects, and prevent unwanted pregnancies. The use of intrauterine devices and continuous use of combined oral contraceptives may lead to greater efficacy because of the ease of use and reduction in menstrual symptoms. Recent literature supports t...
