Features: This book is a supplementary English reading material for the "Pediatrics" textbook used in clinical medicine programs at higher medical colleges across the country. The purpose of compiling this book is to: enable clinical medical students and young pediatric doctors to familiarize themselves with and accumulate pediatric medical English vocabulary, improve their ability to read professional medical English articles, and understand the general overview, diagnosis and treatment conventions, as well as advancements in pediatric diseases abroad. Through the comparison and study of the English and Chinese versions of the textbook, it aims to comprehensively enhance the professional quality of medical students and young pediatric doctors. Additionally, this textbook can also be used as a teaching material for bilingual education. This book is excerpted from the authoritative North American pediatric textbook "Current Pediatric Diagnosis & Treatment." Its content comprehensively integrates the latest developments in pediatric research and clinical practice worldwide. The language is concise, clear, well-organized, and easy to understand, making it suitable for clinical medical students and young pediatric physicians. The arrangement of chapters in this book is as closely aligned as possible with the corresponding chapters of the Chinese version of the "Pediatrics" textbook. Chinese legal units of measurement have been added before the original units in the text, aligning with the Chinese version of the textbook. This book also selects important tables and figures, hoping to complement the Chinese version of the textbook. This book is an excerpt from the original English version, not a translation of the Chinese version of the textbook. Therefore, the standards for pathological and physiological indicators, as well as the treatment methods and dosage of medications in the book, are based on Western standards. If there are discrepancies with the Chinese version of the textbook, the Chinese version should be considered authoritative.
