The word Pediatrics is derived from two Greek words: (pais = child) and (iatros = doctor or healer). Pediatrics means “healer of children” and this is a relatively new medical specialty, developing only in the mid-19th century. Abraham Jacobi (1830–1919) is known as the father of Pediatrics.

Clinical Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatricians are specially trained physicians who take care of children from age of new born to 18 years.

Childhood obesity is a condition in which a child is overweight for their age. Obesity can lead to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, metabolic syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, low self-esteem, and depression. Improving dietary habits, Physical activity and exercise in children are the best ways to achieve healthy weight in the child.

Congenital malformations (Birth defects ) Congenital anamolies occur as a result of impoper development of Embryo. Birth defects may result from genetic or chromosomal disorders, exposure to certain medications or chemicals, or certain infections during pregnancy. A combination of genetic and dietary factors may lead to congenital malformations, as in the case of folic acid and neural tube defects. These defects can be caused by genetic abnormalities and/or environmental exposures, although the underlying etiology is often unknown.

Global birth prevalence of these Birth defects is about 2-3%. A correct identification of a congenital defect is the first step in order to offer a helpful genetic counseling to the parental couple. Because of their increasing life expectancy, congenital malformations represent today a major issue for neonatologists and Pediatricians.

Pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) is a medical subspecialty of both pediatrics and emergency medicine, in which the pediatric emergency medicine physician provides immediate recognition, evaluation, care, stabilization and disposition of infants and children in response to acute illness and injury.

Emergency is a condition which is severe injury or illness that is threatening to child's health or might cause permanent harm. Emergencies can be both physical and psychological in nature with symptoms that may include: Physical trauma involving the head, chest or abdomen.

The most common emergencies encountered in pediatric practice are:

  • Respiratory distress
  • Dehydration
  •  Anaphylaxis
  • Seizures and trauma

Neonatal jaundice is common in preterm babies. Excess bilirubin is the main cause of jaundice. Bilirubin, which is responsible for the yellow color of jaundice, is a normal part of the pigment released from the breakdown of "used" red blood cells. The cause is often an immature liver. Infection, medications, or blood disorders may cause more serious cases. Symptoms include yellowing of skin and the eyes. In many cases this is a normal process and occurs in about 2/3 of all healthy newborns.

4 types of Jaundice in new borns:

  • Pathologic jaundice. Pathologic jaundice is the most serious type of jaundice.
  • Physiologic (neonatal) jaundice. 
  • Breast milk jaundice.
  • Suboptimal intake jaundice.

Phototherapy can help resolve moderate or severe cases. Sunlight has been shown to break down the bilirubin most effectively; in fact, one hour of sunlight equals 6 hours under the special bilirubin lights at the hospital.

DNA is made up of millions of small chemicals called bases. These are four types A, C, T and G. Every single gene is a section of DNA made up of a sequence of As, Cs, Ts and Gs.

Through Genetic testing few syndromes can be identified during pregnancy. The cell-free DNA in a sample of a woman's blood can be screened for Down syndrome, Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), Edwards syndrome, and problems with the number of sex chromosomes. This can be done starting at 10 weeks of pregnancy and results get in a week, whereas Newborn genetic screening identifies treatable genetic disorders in newborns. Early intervention to treat these disorders can eliminate or reduce symptoms that might otherwise cause a lifetime of disability.

The most common newborn screening tests include hypothyrodism (underactivity of the thyroid gland), PKU (phenylketonuria), galactosemia, and sickle cell disease. This test is generally performed when a baby is 24 to 48 hours old and should be tested in this time period only because few conditions may go undetected if the blood sample is drawn before 24 hours of age.

PIDS (Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society) is the world's largest organization of Pediatric Infectious Diseases specialists dedicated to the treatment, control and eradication of infectious diseases in Pediatrics. Neonatal sepsis can be caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E coli), Listeria, and Group B streptococcus. However, this problem has become less common because women are screened during pregnancy. Most common infections in newborn are sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis. There are many types of neonatal infections, including viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. Many neonatal infections are minor and can be quickly reversed with proper diagnosis and care. However, some neonatal infections are very serious. The antibiotics commonly used to treat neonatal sepsis include ampicillin, gentamicin, cefotaxime, vancomycin, erythromycin, and piperacillin The three major causes of neonatal deaths worldwide are infections (36%, which includes sepsis/pneumonia, tetanus and diarrhoea), pre-term (28%), and birth asphyxia (23%).

Pediatric clinical research is a key part of making medical treatments safer and more comfortable for children and adolescents. Clinics like QPS work to overcome challenges like caregiver communication, scheduling conflicts, and patient comfort to make trials as stress-free as possible for everyone involved. Pediatric Research is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal in the field of pediatrics and the official publication of the American Pediatric Society. The Neonatal Research Network address the critical need for rigorous research in babies admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), so that solid evidence generated by such research can be used to improve the treatment and health outcomes of critically ill newborn babies. The Neonatal Perinatal Research Unit (NPRU) explores causes, preventative measures, and treatments for ill newborn babies. These Centers collect data on mothers and their infants, the therapies they received, and the infants outcomes at discharge. These data are analyzed and dedicated to improving the outcomes of our babies.

Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with children from birth through adolescence. Pediatric dentists have special training and education which make them more qualified to work with kids. The sooner children begin getting regular dental checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives. Early checkups help prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating and other medical issues. Pediatric dentistry is recognized by the American Dental Association, Royal College of Dentists of Canada, and Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.
