HPV, Hormone Replacement the FDA has approved HPV testing as an adjunct to the pap smear to screen for cervical cancer in women over 30. The conventional method has been an annual pap smear, a test which has been used since the 1950s. The problem with paps has been a high rate of false positives (finding a problem when nothing is there) and false negatives (failing to detect a problem when there is one). Traditionally, paps have been repeated every year because the test is fairly unreliable . HPV testing combined with the pap provides a more accurate assessment of a womans risk for cervical pre cancer or cancer. The test combines a liquid-based pap (LBP) with a test for human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the family of viruses that causes cervical abnormalities, including dysplasia (also known as cervical intra epithelial neoplasia or CIN, which are the type of cellular changes that have potential to become cancer, usually over a period of many years) and cancer. Compared to the old-fashioned pap, the combined pap-HPV test greatly reduces the likelihood of a false result. The test is reliable enough that, if normal, the risk of getting a significant cervical abnormality for at least three years after the test is virtually zero. Typically, the test is only done every three years, rather than every year. For more information, check out the following link: www.thehpvtest.com. In my practice, the only paps I do are so-called liquid-based paps (I use the type known as thin prep), which are more reliable then the old-fashioned slide method (commonly called conventional pap.) I also routinely do HPV testing for women over 30 and in women who have an inconclusive pap smear. For more information about pap smears, check out the following link: http://www.thin prep.com/info/useful_resources.htmlThere has been a lot of publicity lately regarding the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy. Until recently, the prevailing wisdom was that the benefits of hormone therapy (estrogens and progestin) for menopausal women outweighed the risks. For years, it was widely thought that HRT helped to prevent heart disease. HRT is known to help prevent osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, vaginal dryness). The recent publication of the Womens Health Initiative (WHI) study has forced us, the medical establishment, to re-evaluate the risks and benefits of HRT. In the WHI study, women who were on Prempro (a combination of equine estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate, a progestin or progesterone-like hormone) had slightly more heart attacks, breast cancers, and venous thromboses (blood clots) than women who were taking placebo (a pill with no active ingredients). The risk for heart attack or breast cancer was about 3 per thousand off HRT, and about 3.8 per thousand with HRT. As a result of these findings, HRT is usually prescribed for treatment of menopausal symptoms, which can sometimes be quite severe. In general, the hormone dose used is the lowest dose that is effective, for a limited amount of time, usually 5 years or less. If the only goal of therapy is to prevent osteoporosis (weakening of the bones), other non-hormonal treatments can be used. The following link to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has several interesting articles related to hormone therapy. http://www.acog.org/index.cfmJoel Kizner MD.

Some of the problems we can help you with are: Allergies, Asthma, School Learning Problems and ADHD, Breast Feeding, Child Nutrition Developmental Problems, Sports Injuries. As your Pediatricians, we hope that we will be the primary source of medical advice about your infant, child, or adolescent. Each of us is Board Certified in Pediatrics. We are familiar with all the referral resources in our area for children and can direct your child to the appropriate specialist when it is needed. We consider ourselves to be your local community physicians, with the resources able to take care of all your childrens needs. Because of what we do, we have the opportunity to bring change, to educate, to invigorate, to advocate and to make a difference. That is why Pediatrics is so different than other areas of medicine. Since we have been practicing for quite some time, we feel fully equipped to deal with the issues and concerns that parents pose to us on a daily basis. We love providing reassurance and anticipatory guidance for our new and established patients. In fact many of the issues parents bring up today are not new...they are similar to ones that existed in 1979. These issues or concerns include: when to start solids, when to take a newborn outside or to visit family, breast-feeding questions/concerns, what type of formula is best for my infant, are they ready to go back to playing their sport after an injury, what type of milk to drink, how to help a child who is a picky eater? As you become more knowledgeable about health and your child from information on the Internet, we must also continue to keep up with all the latest trends, issues and challenges that you face. In addition we face the continuous challenge of recognizing and dealing with new infections in the world and our community. Instead of dealing with chickenpox or measles, we see Swine Flu, MRSA, food borne illnesses, tick borne diseases, and new forms of diarrheal diseases. Over the last 50 years smoking has decreased but we still see illness due to secondary smoke. We have new environmental hazards that worry us and you parents, BPAs, lead in toys, mercury in fish, pesticides.
