While it's often diagnosed in childhood, symptoms can persist well in adulthood. The treatment for ADHD is multifaceted. It often includes medication, behavioral therapy, environmental modifications, and sometimes educational interventions which are especially effective in younger patients. Ongoing evaluation is needed during treatment. Treatment needs adjustments over time.Starting with medications: Stimulants are the most well-studied and effective pharmacologic treatment for ADHD. These include methylphenidate-based medications such as Ritalin, Concerta, and Focalin, and amphetamine-based options, like Adderall, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine. Discovery of stimulants for ADHD> Dr. Charles Bradley discovered stimulants as the treatment for ADHD around 1937. ADHD did not have a name at that time, but it was known that some children had behavioral problems related to poor attention and inability to control their impulses, but they were still intelligent. Dr. Bradley was a psychiatrist who was working in the Bradley Hospital (Rhode Island), he was studying these children and, as part of his experiments, they developed severe headaches. He gave “Benzedrine” (a decongestant) to his pediatric patients to treat severe headaches, and he discovered that Benzedrine improved academic performance and interest in school and improved disruptive behavior in some children.How do stimulants work.Stimulants work primarily by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain, which helps improve focus, attention span, and impulse control. They typically show a rapid onset of action and can lead to noticeable improvements within the first few days of use. Dosing is individualized and should start low with gradual titration. Side effects can include reduced appetite, insomnia, headaches, increased heart rate, and emotional lability.Types of stimulants. Stimulants come as short acting and long acting. They can come as a tablet, liquid, patch, or orally disintegrating tablet. After the discovery of Benzedrine as a possible treatment for ADHD, more research was done over the years, and Ritalin became the first FDA-approved medication for ADHD (1955). The list of medications may seem overwhelming, but there are only two types of stimulants used to treat ADHD: methylphenidate and amphetamine. Long-acting stimulant medications are often preferred for their consistent symptom control and lower potential for misuse. Vyvanse (lis-dexa-mfetamine) is a widely used long-acting amphetamine-based option. As a prodrug, it remains inactive until metabolized in the body, which results in a smoother onset and offset of action and may reduce the risk of abuse. This extended duration of effect can help patients maintain focus and regulate impulses throughout the day without the peaks and crashes sometimes seen with shorter-acting formulations. Of note, Vyvanse is also approved for Binge Eating Disorder. Many of these medications are Schedule II controlled substances, so to prescribe them you need a DEA license. Other long-acting options include Concerta, an extended-release methylphenidate, as well as extended-release versions of Adderall and Focalin. These are especially helpful for school-aged children who benefit from once-daily dosing, and for adults who need sustained attention during work or academic activities. The choice between short- and long-acting stimulants depends on individual response, side effect tolerance, and daily routine.For patients who cannot tolerate stimulants, or for those with contraindications such as a history of substance misuse or certain cardiac conditions, non-stimulant medications are an alternative. One of the most used is atomoxetine, which inhibits the presynaptic norepinephrine transporter (NET). This leads to increased levels of norepinephrine (and to a lesser extent dopamine). Guanfacine or clonidine are alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonists that lead to reduced sympathetic outflow and enhanced prefrontal cortical function, improving attention and impulse control. These alpha agonists are particularly useful in younger children with significant hyperactivity or sleep disturbances.Non-pharmacologic treatments.Behavioral therapy before age 6 is the first choice, after that, medications are more effective than BH only, and as adults again you use CBT.Medication is often just one part of a broader treatment plan. Behavioral therapy, especially in children, plays a critical role. Parent-training programs, positive reinforcement systems, and structured routines can significantly improve functioning. And for adolescents and adults, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly helpful. CBT can address issues like procrastination, time management, emotional regulation, and self-esteem which are areas that medication doesn't always touch.Using medications for ADHD can be faced with resistance by parents, and even children. There is stigma and misconceptions about mental health, there may be concerns about side effects, fear of addiction, negative past experiences, and some parents prefer to treat ADHD the “natural” way without medications or only with supplements. All those concerns are valid. Starting a medication for ADHD is the first line of treatment in children who are 6 years and older, but it requires a shared decision with parents and patients. Cardiac side effects are possible with stimulants. EKG may be needed before starting stimulants, but it is not required. Get a personal and family cardiac history, including a solid ROS. Benefits include control of current condition and treating comorbid conditions.The presentation of ADHD changes as the person goes through different stages of life. For example, you may have severe hyperactivity in your school years, but that hyperactivity improves during adolescence and impulsivity worsens. It varies among sexes too. Women tend to present as inattentive, and men tend to be more hyperactive. ADHD is often underdiagnosed in adults, yet it can significantly impact job performance, relationships, and mental health. In adults, we often use long-acting stimulants to minimize the potential for misuse. And psychotherapy, particularly CBT or executive functioning coaching, can be life-changing when combined with pharmacologic treatment. There are several populations where treatment must be tailored carefully such as pregnant patients, individuals with co-occurring anxiety or depression, and those with a history of substance use. For example, atomoxetine may be preferred in patients with a history of substance misuse. And in children with coexisting oppositional defiant disorder, combined behavioral and pharmacologic therapy is usually more effective than either approach alone.Comorbid conditions.Depression and anxiety can be comorbid, and they can also mimic ADHD. Consult your DSM-5 to clarify what you are treating, ADHD vs depression/anxiety.Treatment goes beyond the clinic. For school-aged children, we often work closely with schools to implement 504 plans or Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that provide classroom accommodations. Adults may also benefit from workplace strategies like structured schedules, noise-reducing headphones, or even coaching support. Ongoing monitoring is absolutely essential. We assess side effects of medication, adherence, and symptom control. ***In children, we also monitor growth and sleep patterns. We often use validated rating scales, like the Vanderbilt questionnaire for children 6–12 (collect answers from two settings) or Conners questionnaires (collect from clinician, parents and teachers), to track progress. And shared decision-making with patients and families is key throughout the treatment process.To summarize, ADHD is a chronic but manageable condition. Effective treatment usually involves a combination of medication and behavioral interventions, tailored to the individual's needs. And early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve quality of life academically, socially, and emotionally.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Pour découvrir le podcast Le Précepteur:https://open.spotify.com/show/4Lc8Fp7QAVsILrKZ41Mtbu?si=w28n3PRPSIuguRE4SQVMlQ-----------------------------La sexualité des adolescents français est en pleine mutation. C'est ce que révèlent trois études majeures publiées récemment : EnCLASS, CSF-2023 et Vavisa. Ensemble, elles dessinent le portrait d'une jeunesse à la fois plus prudente, plus diverse dans ses orientations, mais aussi plus exposée aux violences sexuelles.Premier constat frappant : les adolescents sont aujourd'hui moins nombreux à avoir des rapports sexuels qu'il y a dix ou vingt ans. En 2010, près de 18 % des collégiens déclaraient avoir eu un rapport sexuel ; ils ne sont plus que 8,8 % en 2022. En terminale, la proportion a chuté à 46,3 %, contre plus de 54 % en 2018. La parole des garçons reste plus affirmative sur ce point que celle des filles, comme dans les enquêtes précédentes. Ce recul pourrait traduire une forme de prise de distance vis-à-vis de la norme de performance sexuelle ou un environnement plus ouvert à d'autres formes d'intimité.Deuxième tendance marquante : la diversité des attirances s'affirme davantage. De plus en plus de jeunes osent se dire attirés par des personnes du même sexe ou par les deux sexes. Chez les garçons, ils sont passés de 1,6 % à 3,9 % entre 2018 et 2022. Chez les filles, la hausse est encore plus nette : de 4,1 % à 9,4 %. Cette évolution peut être liée à un climat social plus inclusif et à une plus grande liberté de parole sur les questions d'orientation sexuelle.Mais ces évolutions positives sont contrebalancées par des signaux préoccupants, notamment en matière de prévention et de violences sexuelles. Le recours au préservatif est en baisse, y compris lors des premiers rapports. Plus inquiétant : les lycéennes l'utilisent moins que les collégiennes. Seules une sur deux déclare se protéger avec un nouveau partenaire. La pilule est également en recul, souvent remplacée par d'autres moyens comme le stérilet.Enfin, le plus alarmant reste la fréquence des violences sexuelles et du non-consentement. Un tiers des jeunes – et quatre fois plus de filles que de garçons – disent avoir eu une relation sexuelle sans en avoir envie. Selon l'étude Vavisa, 80 % des victimes connaissaient leur agresseur, et 20 % n'en ont parlé à personne. À cela s'ajoutent les cyberviolences : diffusion d'images sexuelles non sollicitées, propos déplacés, ou visionnage de films pornographiques dès le plus jeune âge.En résumé, la sexualité des adolescents devient plus libre et diverse, mais elle reste marquée par des risques importants et une insuffisante prévention. Face à ces constats, la parole, l'éducation et l'écoute apparaissent plus que jamais comme des outils indispensables. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: How do we take care of kids in severe pain? There are many non-pharmacologic options for pain (i.e. ice, elevation) as well as more conventional medication options (i.e. acetaminophen, NSAIDS) but in severe pain stronger medications might be indicated. These stronger medications include options such as IV morphine, a subdissociative dose of ketamine, as well as intranasal fentanyl. Intranasal fentanyl has many advantages: Studies have shown it might be more effective early on in controlling pain, as in the first 15-20 minutes after administration, and then becomes equivalent to other pain control options Total adverse effects were also lower with IN fentanyl, including low rates of nausea and vomiting To administer, use the IV formulation with an atomizer and spray into the nose; therefore, you do not need an IV line Dose is 1-2 micrograms per kilogram, can be redosed once at 10 minutes.  Don't forget about gabapentinoids for neuropathic pain, muscle relaxants for muscle spasms, and nerve blocks when appropriate. (Disclaimer: muscle relaxers have not been well studied in children) References Alsabri M, Hafez AH, Singer E, Elhady MM, Waqar M, Gill P.

Have you ever considered that victims of human trafficking might be walking into your clinic, hidden in plain sight, longing for someone to notice their silent signals? In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, host Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with Dr. Dena Nazer , a leading child abuse pediatrician, to dispel widespread myths and expose the heartbreaking realities of child trafficking. They dive deeply into what human trafficking truly looks like, why language and empathy shape outcomes, and how pediatricians can recognize and respond to red flags—even when victims don't or can't ask for help. If you've ever wondered how to protect the most vulnerable or questioned your own role in advocacy, this conversation mixes expertise and actionable strategies you can use today. Don't miss this essential episode—sometimes the most critical intervention is simply being prepared to see what others overlook.[00:00 - 06:25] Beyond Kidnapping: The Everyday Reality of Child TraffickingMedia Myths: trafficking is not always dramatic kidnappings—many victims are exploited by someone they know, sometimes in their own homes.Defining human trafficking per US federal law: for children under 18, any commercial sexual act (anything exchanged for perceived value) is trafficking, regardless of force, fraud, or coercion.Labor trafficking in children does require proof of force, fraud, or coercion, unlike sex trafficking.Children cannot legally consent to commercial sexual acts, a fact often misunderstood by practitioners.[06:26 - 18:33] Recognizing Vulnerability: Victims, Prevalence, and Persistent MythsAll children, regardless of socioeconomic status or geography, can be victimized; not just those from impoverished or unstable backgrounds.Adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to developmental, social, and neurological factors—especially girls, though all genders are at risk.The covert nature and underreporting of trafficking, with true prevalence grossly underestimated—actual victims far exceed documented cases.Practitioners should avoid assumptions about victim profiles and recognize that trafficking does not discriminate by background or location.[18:34 -24:41] Language, Reporting, and the Power of EmpathyThere is an impact of language, advocating against terms like "prostitute" or "modern day slavery," as they distort public perception and can harm survivors.There are nuanced preferences between “victim” and “survivor,” emphasizing respect for self-identification.Addresses mandated reporting: outlines state-by-state differences, reminds clinicians to know their local laws, and suggests erring on the side of caution when in doubt.Discusses the complexities of reporting and intervention with 18+ patients, promoting support over “rescue,” and collaboration over dictating solutions.[24:42 - 47:58] Identification, Patient Support, and Multi-Agency CollaborationRed flags in clinical settings: domineering non-parental adults accompanying children, delayed care-seeking, lack of address knowledge, repeated STIs, or signs of fear and withdrawal.Ways to build trust and elicit disclosures: prioritize safety, establish boundaries about reporting, and use risk-factor-based screening questions.Trauma-informed care—responding with empathy, validation, and minimal dramatization—to avoid re-traumatizing patients.Connect with local Child Advocacy Centers and understanding local resources and procedures before a crisis arises.[47:59 - 59:59] Dr. G's TakeAwaysAdditional Resources Mentioned

The topic of a new course at Mansfield Senior High School is one that teenagers across the country are having trouble with: How to Get to Sleep. One ninth grader in the class says his method is to scroll through TikTok until he nods off. Another teen says she often falls asleep while on a late-night group chat with friends. Not everyone takes part in class discussions; some students are slumped over their desks napping. Sleep training is no longer just for newborns. Some schools are taking it upon themselves to teach teenagers how to get a good night's sleep. "It might sound odd to say that kids in high school have to learn the skills to sleep," says Mansfield health teacher Tony Davis, who has incorporated a newly released sleep curriculum into a state-required high school health class. "But you'd be shocked how many just don't know how to sleep." Adolescents burning the midnight oil is nothing new; teens are biologically programmed to stay up later as their circadian rhythms shift with puberty. But studies show teenagers are more sleep deprived than ever, and experts believe it could be playing a role in the youth mental health crisis and other problems plaguing schools, including behavioral and attendance issues. "Walk into any high school in America, and you will see kids asleep. Whether it's on a desk, outside on the ground or on a bench, or on a couch the school has allotted for naps—because they are exhausted," says Denise Pope, a senior lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Education. Pope has surveyed high school students for more than a decade and leads parent sessions for schools around California on the importance of teen sleep. "Sleep is directly connected with mental health. There is not going to be anyone who argues with that." The district's high school is piloting the new curriculum, "Sleep to Be a Better You," hoping to improve academic success and reduce chronic absences, when a student misses more than 10% of the school year. During the six-part course, students are asked to keep daily sleep logs for six weeks and rate their mood and energy levels. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In this podcast, I talked with Dr Gordon Flett about the psychology of mattering, a topic in which he has been a leader in the field. Mattering is a core component of one's self concept which refers to a genral sense of being significant, and valued in our relationships. A felt sense of mattering is a strongly protective factor against a variety stressors. Conversely, the absence of mattering has been associated with depression and suicidal ideation. A sense of mattering becomes especially relevant  during the adolescent years as fitting in with peers becomes so important The importance of mattering is an idea that immediately resonates with many people and is the  theme in movies such as It's a Wonderful Life and Mr Holland's Opus. Unfortunately, in keeping with the crisis in youth mental health, survey data suggest that about 30% of adolescents do not feel or are not certain that they matter to anyone. So this is obviously an important topic for us to consider Dr Flett has written two books on the psychology of Mattering: Mattering As A CORE Need in Children and Adolescents  and The Psychology of Mattering: Understanding the Human Need to be Significant In an earlier podcast  on 9/13/22, I also talked to Dr Flett about his book he coauthored with Paul Hewitt Perfectionism in Childhood and Adolescence: A Developmental Approach The Mattering Movement website is an excellent source of information https://www.thematteringmovement.com/ see also https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/well/mind/mental-health-mattering-self-esteem.html

Bienvenue, âmes curieuses et cœurs sombres, au seuil d'un abîme où l'adolescence, loin de sa prétendue innocence, se révèle être un terreau fertile pour les monstruosités les plus exquises. Dans cet épisode, nous sondons les profondeurs putrides de quatre jeunes existences, des êtres à peine sortis de l'enfance, dont les mains ont été souillées d'une encre rouge indélébile.Ils ont été condamnés. La sentence est tombée, lourde et définitive : la perpétuité, une éternité de murs froids et de regrets mordants. Mais croyez-vous vraiment que la justice humaine, avec ses maigres barreaux et ses jugements terre-à-terre, puisse contenir la véritable horreur qu'ils ont engendrée ?Nous allons au-delà des faits bruts, au-delà des rapports de police et des témoignages choquants. Nous plongerons dans les psychés torturées de ces jeunes bourreaux, là où les fantasmes prennent une consistance charnelle et où les murmures de leurs victimes persistent comme des échos dans un caveau.Attendez-vous à des récits qui vous glaceront le sang jusqu'à la moelle, des visions cauchemardesques tissées dans la trame de leurs souvenirs. Écoutez attentivement, car dans le silence entre les mots, vous pourriez entendre le chœur spectral de ceux qu'ils ont arrachés au monde, le festin rougeoyant de leurs pulsions les plus sombres, la toile infinie de leur terreur adolescente, et les oracles d'os murmurant des vérités trop épouvantables pour être entendues.Ceci n'est pas une histoire de rédemption. Ceci est une descente dans les entrailles de la noirceur humaine, un voyage au cœur de ce que l'adolescence, pervertie par une soif insatiable, peut engendrer de plus monstrueux. Accrochez-vous, car l'horreur, mes amis, ne fait que commencer... et pour ces quatre âmes perdues, elle ne s'éteindra jamais.

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) face poorer cancer outcomes and experiences compared with younger and older patients, and they historically have been lost between pediatric and adult models of oncology care. The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) is committed to providing up-to-date guidance on treating AYA patients with cancer to improve their outcomes. In this episode of CANCER BUZZ, a team from the University of North Carolina (UNC) AYA Oncology Program shares how it's meeting the unique needs of this patient population by providing developmentally appropriate cancer care through a multidisciplinary approach, including clinical trial access and interactive infusion space; sharing resources where AYAs need additional support; and developing education about fertility and the short- and long-term impacts of cancer. “We talk about things like sleep, mental health, diet, exercise, knowing all of those aspects of life have been impacted by cancer and its treatment, and in order to have the best quality of life and best outcomes, we need to pay attention to all of those aspects of an AYA survivors' life.” – Andrew Smitherman, MD, MS “We know that AYAs are one of the most underinsured or uninsured populations in the United States, and so that means often they are at least initially facing these diagnoses without any insurance at all to help defray the costs.” – Jacob Stein, MD, MPH “My approach [for talking about long term effects] is that patients want to be able to have the opportunity to receive information.” – Alison Manikowski, PsyD Read the full article here.

Recent headlines tell us about a rise in teen boys being lured into sending explicit photos and then blackmailed for money to avoid these being published on the web. Some of these cases have resulted in suicide and the FBI has sent out warnings to parents. Of course, exploitation through explicit photos is nothing new to teen girls as well. How are parents to respond to these threats? Jessica and Dr. Ken approach these issues as an opportunity for real dialogue and not another occasion for fear. Open conversation about online threats are particularly important for parents of teenagers that may appear to be innocent of any sexual interest. Adolescents need to be prepared for online threats not just protected. We cover all this and more.

Buckle up, babes—this episode of Unapologetically Myself is a full-on rollercoaster of reality TV delusions, hallway poop scandals, and dating truths. I brought back my BF Stefanos Vitirados (aka Steve) because y'all loved him last time, and trust—he brought the whiskey and the hot takes. First up: The April Fools prank of the century. We tricked my dad into thinking we got scouted for a reality show. Like, full-blown fake producer email, camera crew fantasy, the whole nine. The man is LIVING for it—planning his retirement, dreaming of $1M-per-episode deals, and texting my mom like he's about to be on Bravo. And yes, we're filming the whole thing for the real show: Crazy Carluccios. Stay tuned. Then… PoopGate 2025 hits. Our apartment hallway became a crime scene after a rogue dog dropped a steamer and didn't clean it up. Now the building manager is accusing everyone on our floor. We know it wasn't Luna (our massive German Shepherd), but there's still paranoia. We're breaking down the poop logistics like we're on CSI: Dog Edition. It's gross, it's funny, it's peak apartment living. Movie night recap: We hit the Hell of a Summer premiere—directed by Finn Wolfhard (yep, Stranger Things). This horror-comedy slasher was so good we'd watch it again. Huge props to Finn for making us laugh and scream, and yes, we walked the black carpet pretending to be celebs.Now let's talk relationship pressure. People are out here in our comments DEMANDING a proposal like they're part of the wedding planning committee. Steve claps back, we talk timelines, and we both agree: Stop rushing people into life milestones. It's not 1953. We just moved in together—let us vibe. White Lotus S3? We haven't watched the finale yet, but so far nothing has happened. No murder, no scandal—just a lot of fancy dinners and dramatic staring. But shoutout to Victoria Ratliff who's serving Patricia-from-Southern-Charm energy. She's the only reason we're still tuned in. Netflix's Adolescents = a must-watch. One-take episodes, insane acting, and real emotional gut punches. We talk about the heartbreaking moments, the insane talent of the young cast, and why it's a show every parent should watch. Trust me, you'll cry. Sydney Sweeney + Glenn Powell = Red Carpet Chemistry. We discuss Sydney's recent breakup, rumors about Glenn, and how wild it must be to date an actor. Would Steve be cool watching me do a rom-com with a hot co-star? LOL, hard no. This episode is for anyone who's ever: ● Been pressured to get engaged by nosy aunties or TikTok trolls ● Had to defend their dog's honor in an apartment scandal ● Got ghosted by someone who invited them to Paris on the first date ● Is OVER modern dating nonsense and just wants honesty, laughter, and some damn guacamole

This week's guest my friend Joshua DiCaglio, Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University and author of the fabulous Scale Theory: A Nondisciplinary Inquiry.It's a book bout how contemplating scale can transform us — how it's one thing to understand the microcosm and macrocosm through our maps and another thing entirely to really sit with the mystery of how all of this is happening at once. We can conceptually differentiate ourselves from the rest of the cosmos, but scale makes it clear that at no point do we ever truly stand outside it all.And this has enormous implications: contemplating scale is not merely an idle curiosity but an existential necessity. In an age of exponential AI, our future hinges on whether we can learn to overcome the tendency to colonize other scales with our abstractions and cultivate the capacity to recognize interdependency with the unthinkably small and large. How does truly understanding this change the way we live? Bewilderment is a rich place to start.

This week Jim O'Shaughnessy (Website | X) joins Humans On The Loop to carry our first on-record conversation on Infinite Loops into bold new terrains! Jim is one of the most renowned investors and asset managers of all the time and the author of several hugely best-selling and influential books on investing, including What Works on Wall Street, Invest Like The Best, and Predicting The Markets of Tomorrow. He also founded the first online investment advisor and holds the patent for “ the origination and fulfillment of stock investment portfolios over a worldwide computer network.” (You heard right!)After decades of success in wealth management, he left his company in the care of his son Patrick and launched O'Shaughnessy Ventures — a firm that combines “Jim's deeply rooted interest in all things art, science, investing and tech with his long-held desire to establish positive sum scenarios designed to help promising creators and their inspiring ideas succeed, regardless of age, location, job history or level of education.”Last fall when I was on his show, we played a game of mind-jazz about “how we can live curious, collaborative and fulfilling lives in our deeply weird, complex, probabilistic world.” For this discussion, I wanted to rotate the axis of our exploration and learn how Jim's personal experiences have contributed to the frame through which he engages life. Sweeping across scales from candid autobiography to team inquiry into some of the wickedest problems — like how we foster meaningful relationships and balance achievement with humility — we covered a lot of new ground.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and benefit from a fresh take on the mind — and heart — of one of the most exemplary mavericks I know.If you find value in this conversation, please like and subscribe (YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify), leave a comment, and consider supporting my mission to help us cultivate wisdom in an age of magical technologies.

Story at-a-glance Long-term intermittent fasting disrupts insulin production in adolescents, which leads to poor blood sugar regulation and increased metabolic risks in adolescence Fasting reduces beta-cell maturity in young people, making it harder for their young bodies to regulate glucose properly Adolescents experience insulin decline from fasting, which mimics patterns seen in Type 1 diabetes Instead of long-term fasting, it's best for young people to focus on consuming regular, balanced meals. Getting the right nourishment supports their metabolic stability and prevents insulin resistance Healthy lifestyle choices that protect beta-cell function include avoiding seed oils, optimizing gut health, and getting daily sun exposure

Today we continue with issues related to limit-setting with teenagers. As tempting as it is, making speeches is very ineffective in influencing adolescent behavior. Teenagers need to experience the consequences of their choices, either natural or through parent consequences. Jessica and Dr. Ken talk about both of their own struggles to avoid this trap and the situations that tempt parents to pontificate instead of act. We offer suggestions to increase your adolescent's learning experiences while reserving words for the most useful opportunities. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here: https://a.co/d/hBnlbzI Got questions or feedback? We want to hear from you! podcast@feedingthemouth.com Music provided by the great John David Kent - https://www.johndavidkent.com/

Today is the first in a series on limit-setting with adolescents. Probably the most important change a parent can make in being more effective in setting limits with teenagers is to shift your job description from a "cop" to a judge. Understanding what you as a parent can and cannot control makes a huge difference in how and when you set limits for your teen. When your teen is being most defiant, always remember the power of "the smile." You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here: https://a.co/d/hBnlbzI Got questions or feedback?

Join the Behind the Knife Bariatric Surgery Team as they kick off 2025 with a crucial discussion on pediatric and adolescent bariatric surgery. Drs. Matt Martin, Adrian Dan and Katherine Cironi delve into the latest ASMBS guidelines, comparing long-term outcomes of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in adolescents versus adults. They explore key comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic issues, and emphasize the importance of early intervention. This episode also tackles the complex ethical considerations surrounding surgery in this vulnerable population, including consent, multidisciplinary care, and the evolving role of medical therapies like GLP-1 agonists. Show Hosts: - Matthew Martin - Adrian Dan - Katherine Cironi Learning Objectives:  ·  Identify the current ASMBS guidelines for pediatric and adolescent bariatric surgery, including BMI thresholds and associated comorbidities.  ·  Describe common comorbidities seen in the pediatric population eligible for bariatric surgery, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic issues.  ·  Compare and contrast long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery (gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy) in adolescents and adults, including remission rates of comorbidities and reoperation rates.  ·  Discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including psychological and ethical considerations, when evaluating adolescent patients for bariatric surgery.  ·  Explain the ethical framework used in evaluating adolescents for bariatric surgery, including consent/assent, parental involvement, and addressing potential coercion.  ·  Recognize the evolving role of medical management (e.g., GLP-1 agonists) in conjunction with or as an alternative to bariatric surgery in adolescents. Article #1: Inge 2019 – Five-year outcomes of gastric bypass in adolescents as compared with adults https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461610/ - The cumulative effect of sustained severe obesity (BMI >35) from adolescence into adulthood increases the likelihood of diabetes, hypertension, respiratory conditions, kidney dysfunction, walking limitations, and venous edema in legs/feet (when compared to adults that did not report severe obesity in adolescence) - American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) guidelines for adolescents who should be considered for bariatric surgery: BMI is ≥35 with a co-morbidity or if they have a BMI ≥40 (class 3 obesity, 140% of the 95th percentile) - This article utilizes the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (TEENS LAB) and LABS (adults) databases to evaluate the outcomes of adolescents vs. adults who underwent bariatric surgery Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (2006-2009) - 161 adolescents (13-19 at the time of surgery) with severe obesity (BMI>35) vs 396 adults (25-50 years old at the time of surgery) who have remained obese (BMI>30) since adolescence  - Both groups had the gastric bypass procedure as their primary bariatric operation  - Both groups had unadjusted similar demographics, however, BMI was higher in adolescence (54) when compared to adults (51)  - Results were analyzed using linear mixed and Poisson mixed models to analyze weight and coexisting conditions - After surgery, adolescents were significantly more likely than adults to have remission of type 2 diabetes and hypertension - Increased likelihood of remission of diabetes due to the shorter duration of diabetes, lower baseline glycated Hgb, less use of medications, and increased baseline C-peptide levels  - Increased vascular stiffness in adults along with a longer duration of hypertension make the cessation of hypertension less responsive with surgery in adults  - No significant difference in percent weight changes between adolescents and adults 5 years after surgery  - Both adults and adolescent groups had decreased rates of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL levels, albeit not significantly different when comparing the two groups  - Of note, the rate of abdominal reoperations was significantly higher among adolescents (20%) than among adults (16%) with cholecystectomy representing nearly half the procedures in both groups - Limitations - At baseline, adults had a high prevalence of both diabetes and hypertension - only 14% of adolescents had diabetes vs 31% of adults  - Only 30% of adolescents had hypertension vs 61% of adults  Article #2: Ryder 2024 – Ten-year outcomes after bariatric surgery in adolescents  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39476348/ - The goal is to discuss the long-term durability of weight loss and remission of coexisting conditions in adolescents after bariatric surgery  - This article utilizes the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (TEENS LABS) database to evaluate the 10-year outcomes in adolescents who underwent gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy  - 260 adolescents with an average age of 17 years old at the time of surgery (ages ranged from 13-19 years old) - 161 adolescents underwent gastric bypass, 99 adolescents underwent sleeve gastrectomy  - Results were analyzed using propensity score-adjusted linear and generalized mixed models  - At 10 years, the average BMI had decreased significantly with both groups experiencing about a 20% change in BMI on average - To assess comorbidities, both groups were analyzed together -  55% of patients who had DM2 at baseline, were in remission at 10 years - 57% of patients who had HTN at baseline, were in remission at 10 years -  54% of patients who had dyslipidemia at baseline, were in remission at 10 years - Limitations  - Neither of these studies compare surgery to medical management. GLP-1s have shown promise for weight loss management but we need more data in terms of long-term outcomes in co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia  - Highlighted Outcomes  - Metabolic bariatric surgery is quite effective in the adolescent population  - Adolescents tend to have weight loss that is similar to that of adults and improved resolution of comorbid conditions (DM2, HTN, dyslipidemia) Article #3: Moore 2020 – Development and application of an ethical framework for pediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery evaluation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33191162/ - The purpose of this paper is to describe the ethical framework that supports the use of metabolic & bariatric surgery (MBS) on the principle of justice, and how providers can conduct a thorough evaluation of patients presenting for these surgeries - Highlights adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and preadolescent children who pose more ethical questions before considering surgery  - This article utilizes the bariatric surgery center at one children's hospital and the institution's ethics consult service to develop an ethical framework to evaluate pediatric patients seeking bariatric surgery – using the national ASMBS guidelines  - This ethical framework utilized 4 central ethical questions 1.     Should any patients be automatically excluded from evaluation for MBS? 2.     How should it be determined that the benefits of MBS outweigh the risks? 3.     How do we ensure the patient fully understands and is capable of cooperating with the surgery and follow-up care? 4.     How do we make sure the decision to have surgery is truly voluntary, and not coerced by family or others? - Results: this ethical framework was discussed in depth in two case studies  - Overview of framework: an ethical question would arise from the bariatric team they would review & apply the ethical framework. The question is either resolved by the bariatric team OR ethics consult, continue pre-operative workup vs no surgery - Case 1: 17M (BMI 42) with a history of autism spectrum disorder, pre-DM, depression with behavior challenges, HTN, dyslipidemia. Testing at school demonstrates intellectual functioning at a fourth-grade level. Pt lives with mom and 11-year-old sister. Mom endorses food insecurity (on supplemental nutrition assistance benefits) and struggles with her son's large intake of food.  1.     Co-morbidities should not be exclusionary, but pt should undergo a comprehensive psychosocial evaluation with attention to family dynamics and support and the patient's decision-making capacity  2.     Discuss benefits vs risks. Benefits – decreased progression of DM2, HTN, hyperlipidemia, cardiometabolic dx. Risks – gastric leak, infection, bleeding, dumping syndrome, etc.  3.     Can assess decision-making capacity with the surgical team or if need be other teams. In this case, the pt had limited decision-making capacity  - His level of understanding remained stable during the pre-op visits, and he gave assent to surgery - The mom identified a second source of support (extended family) - The team talked to both the patient and mother alone and then, together, found that the patient developed an independent desire for surgery, and thus moved forward.  - Case 2: 8F (BMI 50) with a history of mod OSA, L slipped capital femoral epiphysis s/p surgical stabilization (6 mos prior). The patient is neurotypical & excels in school, and lives with mom & dad. Referred by mom & dad (mom with a recent history of sleeve gastrectomy).  1.     An 8-year-old should not be discriminated against based solely on age, but the patient should be offered more conservative/less invasive options before OR.  a.     In this case, the family had not yet been offered these nonsurgical approaches (structured weight management program, physical support, dietician) 2.     Discuss benefits vs risks. Benefits – preventing progression of hip disease, improvement of OSA, decreased risk of cardiometabolic dx. Risks – anatomic/infectious/nutrition risks  3.     Decision-making capacity was assessed. Found that the parents were more advocating for the surgery saying she has a poor quality of life physically and socially. When the patient was separated from her parents, she said she could lose weight if she had healthier foods at home and someone to exercise with. The patient had decision-making capacity & did not assent to surgery.  4.     When the ethics team interviewed the patient and parents, the parents had a strong preference toward surgery vs patient was scared of surgery and wanted to try other approaches first  a.      Decided that the child's dissent outweighed the medical necessity for surgery and that there were conservative treatment options still available to try  - Highlighted Outcomes  - ASMBS guidelines give us good direction on who qualifies for surgery and emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to decision-making. The decision to pursue surgery should always weigh the benefits and risks and should be made collaboratively with the patient, family, and care team ***SPECIALTY TEAM APPLICATION LINK: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX2a_zsiyaz-NwxKuUUa5cUFolWhOw3945ZRFoRcJR1wjZ4w/viewform?usp=sharing Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.
