Guided Self-Help Found To Be Effective In Treating Childhood Obesity
It is known that family-based treatment that combines nutrition and exercise education, along with behavior modification, is a good approach to help children lose weight.

PILL series. Recurrent abdominal pain in childhood.
Abstract
Recurrent abdominal pain in childhood is common, and continues to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. It is usually attributed to a functional gastrointestinal disorder rather than an organic disease. In most cases, a comprehensive history and physical examination should enable one to make a positive diagnosis of functional disorder. The presence of alarm symptoms and signs, such as weight loss, gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic severe diarrhoea, warrants further investigations and referral to a paediatric gastrointestinal specialist. The mainstay of therapy in functional abdominal pain is educ...
