(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – Preventing unplanned pregnancies in adolescents with effective and easy-to-use contraception is key to ensuring that adolescents do not become parents before they are ready. Adolescents view their health care providers as trusted sources of medical information. Thus, providers are tasked with providing adolescent patients with comprehensive, age-appropriate and nonjudgmental contraception counseling. Nexplanon, the newest version of the etonogestrel (ENG) implant, is an increasingly popular contraceptive method. Inserted subdermally over the triceps muscle, this long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) is safe and highly effective at preventing pregnancy, among several other benefits....

Over-the-counter salicylic acid is a commonly used medication to treat your warts. The salicylic acid is slowly and painlessly absorbed into the skin causing peeling of the skin cells that contain the wart virus. This is a very good way of getting rid of warts, but it should never be used to treat warts on the face, neck and genitals. Even if another treatment is being used (for example in office freezing or beetle juice), using salicylic acid at home speeds destruction of the wart by thinning it and any callus that has formed on or around it....

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – When children are considering playing contact sports, parents/guardians and medical providers must weigh the risks and benefits. One of the major concerns is the possibility of negative short- and long-term effects of repetitive head impacts. Most studies evaluating the relationship between head impacts and neurocognitive function have been retrospective, conducted in adults. Data on this relationship from both adults and children has been inconclusive. “The current evidence is very conflicting,” says pediatric neurologist Sean Rose, MD, who is co-Director of the Complex Concussion Clinic at Nationwide Children’s Hospital....

Children with autism or other developmental delays may not benefit from traditional explanations about the need to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, they may not be able to express their fears and frustrations as easily or clearly as other children. Adjusting to a new routine, like wearing masks or social distancing, can be stressful for everyone, but especially challenging for children who have rigid routines or have heightened sensitivity to change....
