Glendale, CA (PRWEB) November 06, 2013 -- Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of Family Practice Volume 61, Issue 14: Pediatrics in Daily Practice: Urinary Tract Infections/Obesity.
The goal of this program is to improve management of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants, and of obesity in children and adolescents. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Assess likelihood of UTI in infants, based on age and risk factors.
2. Select appropriate screening tests for UTI based on risk.
3. Detect significant urinary tract abnormalities using imaging studies such as ultrasonography and voiding cystourethrography.
4. Discuss predictors of and contributing factors to childhood obesity.
5. Counsel parents and children about changing habits and lifestyle for weight loss.
The original programs were presented by Andrea Marmor, MD, Associate Professor of Pedatrics, University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, and Lynette Leighton, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine.
