Four new recommendations for adolescent health
The yearly “check-up” is the perfect (perhaps only) time to not only see how kids are growing and give any needed shots, but to see how they are doing more generally — and help be sure that they grow into healthy, happy adults. After all, prevention is really what pediatrics is all about.
That’s why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has a checklist for pediatricians called “Recommendations for Preventive Pediatric Health Care.” These recommendations, which are updated every few years, are based on the most up-to-date research about the health of children now — and in the future.

How Did He Die?
Was he sick? Was it suicide? Was it a heart attack? Overdose? Did he die instantly? Who found him? Did he have a stroke? Did they try CPR? Who was he with? Did they do an autopsy? Have you read the report? Where was he? What is the cause of death? Is there a history of drugs or alcohol? Do anything of those things matter? Really? Do they matter? He is dead. Another family is grieving. They are making plans to bury their son. I, too, have questions. But I know the answers don't matter. It is not my place to ask those questions. The answers are not for me to know. What matters is that the parents are hurting. They loved thei...

Beat Depression to Stay Healthier & Live Longer: A Guide for Older Adults & Their Families
Many people find the reality of getting older depressing. And depression itself often comes with a stigma. So when we talk about depression and aging combined, what results is a very complicated — and often hard to treat — issue.

Beat Depression to Stay Healthier and Live Longer: A Guide for Older Adults and Their Families combines Moak’s years of experience working with elderly populations with the latest research on depression.

Recognizing and preventing epilepsy-related mortality: A call for action
Epilepsy is associated with a high rate of premature mortality from direct and indirect effects of seizures, epilepsy, and antiseizure therapies. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the second leading neurologic cause of total lost potential life-years after stroke, yet SUDEP may account for less than half of all epilepsy-related deaths. Some epilepsy groups are especially vulnerable: individuals from low socioeconomic status groups and those with comorbid psychiatric illness die more often than controls. Despite clear evidence of an important public health problem, efforts to assess and prevent epilepsy-related...

Addressing the burden of epilepsy: Many unmet needs
Publication date: Available online 4 March 2016 Source:Pharmacological Research Author(s): Ettore Beghi Epilepsy is a heterogeneous clinical condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures, their causes and complications. The incidence, prevalence and mortality of epilepsy vary with age, place and time contributing to a variable extent to the burden of the disease. Diagnostic misclassification may have strong impact on personal and societal reflections of the disease in light of its clinical manifestations and the need for chronic treatment. Epilepsy accounts for a significant proportion of the world’s diseas...

Pretty Much Nobody In The U.S. Leads A Healthy Lifestyle
Only 2.7 percent of U.S. adults hit the four key metrics of living a healthy lifestyle -- abstaining from smoking, eating well, exercising and maintaining a healthy body fat percentage -- according to a disheartening new study. The study's lifestyle benchmarks for health weren't particularly high. Being smoke-free, exercising moderately and eating USDA recommended foods don't seem like particularly difficult marks to hit. So why do so many Americans fall short of living healthy lives? "That is the million dollar question," Ellen Smit, a senior author of the study and an associate professor at the Oregon State Un...

Portrayed by Peale, Would “Apoplexy” Haunt Colton’s Near-asphyxial Anesthetics?
By mass-producing chromolithographs of The Court of Death, an allegorical painting by Rembrandt Peale (1778–1860), nitrous oxide pioneer Gardner Q. Colton (1814–1898) hoped to decorate 100,000 American homes with this “parlor ornament.” On the left third of Colton’s print of Peale’s painting, a closer view (above) reveals sensual Pleasure (12) and Intemperance (14), which Peale associated with Gout (17), Fever (22), and Delirium Tremens (16). Of course, Pleasure and Intemperance were also linked with mental afflictions ranging from Hypochondria (20), Remorse (13), and Despair (23) to Suicide (15). Accumulating ...

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions
The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...

Post authorization safety study comparing quetiapine to risperidone and olanzapine
ConclusionsQuetiapine was associated with lower EPS, but higher failed suicide attempt rates compared to risperidone. Quetiapine was associated with lower EPS and DM rates compared to olanzapine.

Are We Consoling Or Judging?

When we hear that someone has died, we can't help but scrutinize the way they passed--as if dying were a contest. Were they young or old? How long did they suffer? Did the family see it coming? The more shocking, the more we secretly revel in the details. . . . Yet the more shocking, the more awkward we are at comforting the bereft.
When my husband committed suicide three years ago, it was the most unspeakable of departures to many of our friends and acquaintances. They didn't exactly know what to say. "Well, at least it wasn't cancer!" and "He was able to go quick and on his own terms!" were co...
