Детская неврология

[Lyudmila1884]

Здравствуйте!
Я общий педиатр и планирую проходить ординатуру по детской неврологии в Москве. Сейчас живу в Филадельфии, посоветуйте, пожалуйста, какую литературу имеет смысл приобрести здесь в данной области. Возможно, также есть какие-то курсы, кот. можно здесь пройти, в частности, меня интересует работа с детьми до года и методы для их физического развития: плавание, йога.
Спасибо
Людмила

I wonder if you are aware that pediatric neurology in Russia is VERY different from pediatric neurology here in the US?

[Lyudmila1884]

Hello1
I cann't say that I know what is the difference. But I would like to know it, so I think it'll be usefull for me to read this book anyway.
Thank you for your help

The differences are so big, that it is not worth reading Western books if you are going to practice neurology in the Russian style. You can have an idea about the differences if you check some net resources on adoption from Russia. Dr. Aronson has a very nice chapter devoted to Russian school of neurology and defectology at orphandoctor.org. Some of her statements might be a little bit too strong, but I found myself in a great agreement with her. Dr. Downing had a nice review also; I hope his site is still alive since he has retired recently - russianadoptions.com (or .org).

If you still want to familiarize yourself with the neurology in the US style you may try any of the books which are available. Amazon offers just a few of them. You may try to check any medical library around to browse textbooks they have. Nobody will be checking you identity at the entrance.

Good Luck.

I also found it useful to read review articles in the leading journals on subjects of my interest. You may also try on-line resources like MD consult (free for 1 mo, than just $300 a year), web sites of Child Neurology Society|American Academy of Neurology (AAN), American Academy of Pediatrics.

If you are interested in child development you may find interesting texts on physical therapy, occupational therapy and developmental pediatrics.

You do not have to write to me in English. I still understand Russian.

Yours,

V.I.

Благодарю за информацию, я ознакомилась со статьями, опубликованными указанными вами докторами. Они действительно очень емкие и, к сожалению, с ними нельзя не согласиться. Диагнозы, кот. ставятся практически каждому ребенку, даже из семей здоровых и благополучных родителей, и в правду устрашающие...И на основание для данного рода диагностики для меня также загадка. Одной из причин была указана "интеллектуальная изоляция России". Я бы не хотела продолжать эту традицию... Именно поэтому я искренне заинтересована в возможности получения любого возможного опыта для дальнейшего применения в своей практики. Очень огорчает практически полное отсутствие возможности для российских докторов участия в программах обмена для получения западного опыта...Возможно, я ошибаюсь в этом утверждении, но когда я поднимала этот вопрос на кафедрах высших медицинских учреждений-получала отрицательный ответ...
Также могу согласиться с утверждениями относительно медикаментозной терапии...
Но я бы хотела узнать, почему западный неврологи критично относятся к массажу?
практиковала детский массаж в течении 3 лет и могу сказать, что он приносит положительные результаты... В связи с чем, я бы хотела расширить свои знания и навыки в области развития детей от 0 до 3 лет. Если я правильно поняла, я смогу это также найти на указанный вами сайтах???
Еще раз, спасибо большое за информацию
Что касается написания на английском, то опять же этот опыт, пожалуй, нужен больше мне...Но изъясняться на русском, мне пока все же проще.
С наилучшими пожеланиями

Massage therapy goes under umbrella of occupational and physical therapy. Try to check with them. My boss says that all the massage therapy is BS (bull ****). The American Academy of Pediatrics also states that it is useless. However, in my NICU we have massage therapy for stable babies which was introduced by previous chief. It was started following publication of a study showing that massaged babies were gaining weight faster. I do believe that this might be true but mostly because of central effects of braking psyho-emotional isolation. There is an international association for infant massage which tries to enter US with no much success.

There are no problems for Russian doctors to come and study here in the US. The US government even pays you for your studies. But those people with US knowledge would be just sent to the hell by most of Russian academic institutions and hospitals. At least I had really unwelcome reception there.

Good luck.

The J1 visa is called exchange student visa. You can come here and study in a residency and than apply the accrued knowledge back in your motherland. However, most of the time people use this visa to get in the US and stay forever. To start a residency here you have to pass USMLE and compete for the spot in the residency program. Doesn’t it remind you the entry exams and “konkurs” we had at med schools in Russia?

Did you try this place: http://www.iaim.net ? Most of the benefits they claim would sound really weird for anyone with medical education.

[Lyudmila1884]

You are right! This information is pretty funny.. But I really saw massage works, probably I cann't explain it very good, but it really helps to get skills and knowledge
