  Pediatric gender identity : gender-affirming care for transgender & gender diverse youth

  edited by Michelle Forcier, Gerrit Van Schalkwyk, Jack L. Turban.

  Summary: This book serves as a guide to key topics regarding pediatric gender identity to help clinicians better care for transgender and gender diverse youth. Written by experts in the field, it covers critical considerations for child health providers from a variety of disciplines in a range of clinical settings. Patients, families and other community agencies can also find useful information about current practices and recommendations for care and support. The text begins by overviewing terminology, epidemiology, gender identity development, and relevant neurobiology. Next, the text focuses on the emergence of affirmative treatment paradigms using a patient-centered, consent based framework. Topics include psychotherapeutic support, gender-affirming medical and surgical care, management of co-existing psychiatric conditions, sexual health and fertility, legal considerations, international considerations, and more. Pediatric Gender Identity can be used as a framework to address core clinical issues and offers practical considerations for gender-affirming care. Using the growing science and understanding of gender development, this book is an excellent resource for all professionals working with gender diverse youth, including child and adolescent psychiatrists, pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, psychologists, therapists, researchers, school and educational leaders, and students.

  Effetti della anestesia e del trauma operatorio sulla risposta immunitaria di pazienti in eta' pediatrica. [Effects of anesthesia and surgical trauma on the immune response of pediatric patients].

  Jirillo E, Fransvea P, De Santis A, Dolce M, Monno R, Munno L, Pasquetto N.

  G Batteriol Virol Immunol. 1977 Jan-Jun;70(1-6):40-8.

  The AA. have evaluated the effects of anaesthesia and surgical trauma on the ability of lymphocytes from 10 patients to release Leukocyte Inhibiting Factor (LIF) after stimulation with phytohaemoagglutinin (PHA). In addition, they have studied the electrophoretic mobility of Polymorphonuclear-cells (PMN) and lymphocytes of 8 patients after incubation in autologus plasma. The experimental results show decrease of LIF production after operation in 6 individuals and reduction of eletrophoretic mobility of PMN and lymphocytes. The last finding is not significant on statistical point of view.
