Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 22nd ed.
by
The 22nd edition of Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics continues its tradition as an essential resource for general pediatric providers as well as pediatric subspecialists as they rely on the most current and modern approaches to diagnose and treat infants, children, and adolescents throughout the world. The 22nd edition has been thoroughly revised and updated by expert contributors and experienced editors to help the reader keep up with the huge advances in clinical care derived from basic, clinical, and population-based research. The promise that translational medicine will improve the lives of children has become a daily reality for most but not all children. Knowledge of human development, behavior, and diseases from the molecular to sociologic levels has led to greater understanding of health and illness in children and to substantial improvements in health quality for those who have access to health care. These exciting scientific advances also provide hope to effectively address prevention and treatment of new and emerging diseases threatening children and their families.
The field of pediatrics encompasses advocacy for all children throughout the world and must address societal inequalities of important resources required for normal development, as well as protection from natural and man-made disasters. Unfortunately, many children throughout the world have not benefited from the significant advances in the prevention and treatment of health-related problems. For medical advances to benefit all children and youth, good clinical practice must always be coupled with effective advocacy to overcome unconscious and systemic biases, lack of political will, and misplaced priorities.
This new edition of Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics attempts to provide the essential information that primary care and medical specialists, house staff, medical students, and all other care providers involved in pediatric health care throughout the world need to understand to effectively address the enormous range of biologic, psychologic, and social problems that our children and youth face. Pediatric subspecialists will benefit from the details of coexisting disorders often seen in their patients. Our goal is to be comprehensive yet concise and reader friendly, embracing both new advances in clinical science and the time-honored art of pediatric practice.
The 22nd edition is reorganized and revised from the previous edition. There are many additional chapters of new diseases, as well as substantial expansion or significant modification of others. In addition, many more tables, photographs, imaging studies, and illustrative figures, as well as up-to-date references, have been added.

Feigin and Cherry's Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 9th ed.
by
Throughout the 43 years and nine-edition history of the Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, a number of classic chapters exist (e.g., measles, rubella, enteroviruses, and mycoplasma infections). The data in these chapters are unavailable in any other single-source publication.
The entire text of this ninth edition has been revised extensively. The eighth edition contained over 4000 pages, even though we included only new references in the print edition, which is close to the maximum that can be included in a two-volume book. Therefore, with this ninth edition, we were faced with a major dilemma: specifically, how to include new important material that had become available since the eighth edition but not to substantially increase the size of the book. We approached this dilemma in two ways. One problem in previous editions was redundancy, which we have addressed by combining information in some previous separate chapters into more concise single presentations and by shortening some chapters. The second way, which we introduced in the seventh edition, is to print only new references. The electronic version of the text contains all references.
This edition continues the format that was initiated in the fourth edition, in that infections with specific microorganisms have been organized to provide appropriate emphasis on the common features that may relate specific microorganisms to one another. Thus, all gram-positive coccal organisms are presented sequentially and are followed by gram-negative cocci, gram-positive bacilli, Enterobacteriaceae, gram-negative coccobacilli, Treponemataceae, anaerobic bacteria, and so forth. In addition, special sections of the text have been devoted to discussions of each of the following: molecular determinants of microbial pathogenesis; immunologic and phagocytic responses to infection; metabolic response of the host to infections; interaction of infection and nutrition; pathogenesis and treatment of fever; the human microbiome; epidemiology and biostatistics of infectious diseases; infections of the compromised host; Kawasaki disease; chronic fatigue syndrome; international travel issues for children; infectious disease problems of international adoptees and refugees; nosocomial infections; prevention and control of infections in hospitalized children; pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic agents; immunomodulating agents; active and passive immunizing agents; public health considerations; infections in daycare environments; and use of the bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, virology, and serology laboratories. The section on infections in the compromised host has again been expanded. This expansion has been necessitated by the large number of children, particularly transplant recipients, who have many infectious disease problems and constitute a large part of the consulting practice of many pediatric infectious disease physicians.
With some sadness, we have retained a section on bioterrorism, which is necessitated by the current state of world affairs. The section on immunomodulating agents and their potential use in the treatment of infectious diseases has been expanded because information on this subject has become more extensive since the publication of the last edition.

Assessment and Treatment of Infant Sleep
by
The first 2 years of life in humans are critical for the development of functions and skills that can determine a lifelong trajectory of well-being. Infants experience significant growth and maturation during this period, which requires a nurturing environment, adequate energy intake, and healthy sleep. The latter is affected by sleep duration and timing, sleep consolidation, and regulation, as well as medical conditions affecting sleep or those related to breathing, movements, or other factors. Disrupted sleep health has been associated with delayed developmental milestones, failure to thrive, overall poor physical and mental health, impaired family functioning and parental quality of life, and more—all of which emphasize the utmost importance of this subject.
As clinicians and clinical researchers specializing in pediatric sleep and working in academic settings, we have had the privilege of meeting many colleagues during their training and at conferences and had numerous discussions about the lack of resources available for this age group. Importantly, these discussions led to the realization that a book including an integrative view on medical, developmental, and behavioral topics on sleep during early childhood was needed. With this text, we hope to fill that gap by offering a comprehensive, evidence-based resource that includes the latest research and clinical knowledge about important topics in infant sleep for trainees, researchers, and clinicians.

Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Health, 3 Volumes
by
Informed by the Biopsychosocial Model, this Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Health examines multiple aspects of child and adolescent development and physical and mental health. According to the Biopsychosocial Model, health is determined by the reciprocal interactions between biological (e.g., genetics, physical development, family health history), psychological (e.g., mental health, identity developmental, attitudes), and social (e.g., family, peers, school, social supports) factors. This theory posits that each one of these factors alone is not sufficient to understand health; instead, it is important to understand how these interactive components ultimately influence health outcomes.In addition to the Biopsychosocial Model, this Encyclopedia of Child and Adolescent Health has a translational approach. Each section and all applicable entries include a discussion of prevention or intervention efforts that can inform health and health promotion, and prevent health risks.- Presents a comprehensive review of current child and adolescent research, along with critical insights into the future direction of the field, including translation and prevention- Includes concise, authoritative chapters that are expertly authored make this an easy-to-read, reliable reference resource- Provides a clear thematic structure that allows for easy exploration across the discipline's different sub-fields.- Helps readers find their topics of interest, all of which are contextualized and linked to relevant literature
