Sexually transmitted infections<\/b><\/p>

25% of urban adolescent females (14-17 years of age) were diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) within one year of first intercourse.<\/p>

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)<\/b><\/p>

ECG screening should not be required before initiating stimulant therapy for patients with ADHD.<\/p>

Autism prevalence<\/b><\/p>

The prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) among eight-year-old children in the United States increased from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to 2002 to approximately 1 in 111 in 2006. No clear reason for increase has been found.<\/p>

The choking game<\/b><\/p>

5.7% of eighth-graders had participated in the self-strangulation activity known as \"the choking game\". Recognize signs of these activities: bruising or red marks on the neck; wearing high-necked shirts, even in warm weather; bloodshot eyes or pinpoint bruising around the eyes; petechiae on the face, especially the eyelids or conjunctiva.<\/p>

HPV vaccine<\/b><\/p>

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine in males aged 9 through 26 years to reduce their likelihood of acquiring genital warts.<\/p>

13-valent PCV<\/b><\/p>

The FDA approved a 13-valentpneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). PCV13 adds serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A to those contained in the PCV7, the 7-valent vaccine (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F). The six additional serotypes accounted for 63% of invasive pneumococcal disease among children younger than five years of age.<\/p>
