Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly more and more children with developmental disabilities survive into adulthood. Pediatricians and other clinicians are called upon to care for an increasing number of children with developmental disabilities in their practice and thus there is a need for a practical guide specifically written for paediatricians and primary care clinicians that addresses major concepts of neurodevelopmental pediatrics. In the United States, the specialty training leading to a conjoint board certification by the American Board of Pediatrics and American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, requires a total of 6 years of training (2 years of pediatrics, 1 year of neurology, 18 months of child neurology, 18 months of neurodevelopmental disabilities). As of December 2006, in the US, there were 241 pediatricians and 55 child neurologists certified in the subspecialty of Neurodevelopmental Disabilities. Thus most of the children with developmental disabilities are seen by pediatricians and therefore it is important for these pediatricians to be well informed of common issues in the field. The 60,000 or so pediatricians in the United States (and hundreds more in other countries) are the main target audience for a practical book on neurodevelopmental pediatrics.

Download or read book Cannabis Medical Aspects written by Blair Henry and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cannabis has a long history of medicinal use, dating back thousands of years, but with the discovery of morphine, hypodermic needles and other fast acting synthetic opioids in the nineteenth and the turn of the twentieth century, cannabis use declined as a medication. For most of the past six decades, cannabis has been considered a recreational drug and considered illegal in many jurisdictions. Yet, in the past few years, its association with medicine has made a dramatic comeback. In the past several years, claims on the potential for cannabis to treat, cure and prevent a number of diseases and conditions has led some to query as to whether these claims are overstated. A game changer for medical cannabis has been the ability to consume it without a need to actually inhale it along with other negative products of combustion. Newer technologies that allow for the vaporization of the full plant has made it less of a health concern. Noticeably the evidence on medical cannabis is lacking in both quality and quantity, and therehas been a lack of good evidence on both medical risks and therapeutic benefits of marijuana. The typical recommendation for physicians is that medical cannabis should not be a first line therapy and that documentation should outline that conventional therapies were attempted, but were not successful. In this book, we look at the many aspects involved with the medical use of cannabis.
