Descripción
The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult
This sixth edition of The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult attests to the continuing value to the readers of the content and innovative format. A sixth edition! Wow! I look back on the history of this text and now website with pride and much pleasure. When the first edition was proposed in 1995, the new format of the 5-Minute series intrigued me. The innovative design, fitting well into the evolving computer technology, first Personal Digital Assistants and then the internet, has led to wide acceptance of this presentation that provides easy access to important information. The popularity of The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult is a testimony to the excellent work of the authors and editors who write the chapters, and to the editorial and production staff who transform the pages into the final book and website.
This edition contains many chapters rewritten by a group of new authors as well as refinement of all chapters. There are a number of new topics written by child psychiatrists such as separation anxiety, substance abuse, and obsessive compulsive disorders. My thanks to Pace Ducket for recruiting these authors. We added new topics such as narcolepsy, dental trauma, fragile X syndrome, thoracic insufficiency syndrome, and vaccine reactions.
I have been fortunate to have a team of associate editors, many have been on this project for all six editions, while others joined us later but continued the high level of professionalism and dedication to this book. I appreciate the efforts of Lou Bell, Peter Bingham, Esther Chung, David Friedman, Kathy Loomes, Petar Mamula, Maria Mascarenhas, and Ronn Tanel. My gratitude to all of them for their efforts to continue the reputation of high quality known in The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult. One of the principles for working on this project is it should be fun. I know it has been enjoyable for me. As the internet and notebooks become more popular, my old fashioned bias for real books will continue despite the prediction that books will be obsolete in the future. I hope not.
Being involved in many ways with educating medical students at Penn and residents at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and visiting many hospitals, I was able to see firsthand how this book was helpful to trainees, primary care pediatricians, and nurses, and thus, justifying the name of The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult. The spread of the book to other countries in many translations was gratifying and exceeded my initial expectations.
