The volume is practitioner-centered, focusing on the symptoms that bring a teenager to the clinician. Every chapter begins with a very brief clinical vignette, highlighting the patient's chief complaint or primary issue of concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handbook is divided into five primary sections: (1) Well Adolescent Care to include chapters such as the Annual Physical and Immunizations in Adolescence; (2) Common Problems of Adolescence such as Acne and Low Back Pain; (3) Reproductive Health Care issues such as Menstrual Disorders and Teen Pregnancy\/Options Counseling; (4) Urgent Care matters including Acute Chest Pain and Scrotal Pathology: Pain and Masses; and finally, (5) Special Considerations to include chapters such as Cyberbullying and Sexting and Tobacco Use and Cessation Counseling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters follow a uniform format with vignette as described above, followed by multiple choice questions designed to test the readers knowledge. Salient features related to the chapter topic follow, including relevant clinical “pearls” such as history, physical exam, laboratory and diagnostic studies and treatment strategies. For each chapter, issues that are unique to managing illness in adolescents are highlighted to distinguish them from adults and younger children. When applicable, a broad differential diagnosis is provided to help guide the reader. Easy to read tables are included to highlight and clearly summarize key aspects of the topic and the chapters end with answers to the Board-Style questions presented at the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWell Adolescent Care:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Annual Physical \u003ci\u003e(Krishna White and Rita Hagler)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdolescent Consent and Confidentiality \u003ci\u003e(Kirsten B Hawkins)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormal Nutrition through Adolescence \u003ci\u003e(Erin Wolf-Barnett)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmunizations in Adolescents \u003ci\u003e(Lawrence J D'Angelo)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaking Care of Adolescent Males \u003ci\u003e(Daniel E Korin)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaking Care of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) Teens \u003ci\u003e(William M Barnes and David S Reitman)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pre-Participation Sports Physical \u003ci\u003e(Nailah Coleman)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSports Supplements \u003ci\u003e(Gregg Joseph Montalto)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdolescent Driving \u003ci\u003e(Tiffany L Meyer)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Transition to College \u003ci\u003e(Isabel Goldenberg and Harshita J Saxena)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Adolescent Traveler and Immigrant \u003ci\u003e(Natwarlal Shah)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommon Problems:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Stature\/Delayed Onset of Puberty \u003ci\u003e(Karen Bernstein)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall Stature \u003ci\u003e(Karen Bernstein)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbnormal Weight Gain \u003ci\u003e(Harshita J Saxena)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbnormal Weight Loss\/Malnutrition \u003ci\u003e(Tomas J Silber)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulimia \u003ci\u003e(Rosina Pellerano)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnemia \u003ci\u003e(Carleen Townsend-Akpan)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadaches: Common, Chronic and Recurrent \u003ci\u003e(Stephanie Addison)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell's Palsy (7th Nerve or Facial Nerve Palsy) \u003ci\u003e(Jonathan Fanburg)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsthma, Exercise Induced Bronchospasm (EIB) and Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) \u003ci\u003e(Anthony P Acquavella)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGynecomastia \u003ci\u003e(Amy L Weiss)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecurrent or Chronic Abdominal Pain \u003ci\u003e(Oscar Taube)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstipation and Encopresis \u003ci\u003e(Promise Ahlstrom)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnuresis \u003ci\u003e(Promise Ahlstrom)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDysuria, Urinary Tract Infections and Pyelonephritis \u003ci\u003e(Amy E Klamberg)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProteinuria \u003ci\u003e(Lawrence J D'Angelo)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHematuria \u003ci\u003e(Lawrence J.
