Deficits in infant lung function-including the ratio of time to reach peak tidal expiratory flow total (tptef/te) and maximal at FRC (V̇maxFRC)-have been linked increased risk for childhood asthma.
To determine the accuracy of unenhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in detection acute appendicitis patients younger than 50 years who present to emergency department with right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain.The institutional review board approved this retrospective study 403 from August 1, 2012, July 30, 2014, and waived informed consent requirement. A cross-department strategy was instituted use MR as primary diagnostic modality aged 3-49 presented RLQ pain. All examinations were performed...
Background Advances in abdominal MRI have enabled rapid, free-breathing imaging without the need for intravenous or oral contrast material. The use of as primary modality suspected appendicitis has not been previously studied. Purpose To determine diagnostic performance initial children having acute appendicitis. Materials and Methods study included consecutive patients 18 years age younger presenting with pain at a tertiary care institution from January 2013 through June 2016 who...
Radiologists are taught that pyogenic osteomyelitis in children rarely crosses the growth plate because terminal vessels of nutrient arteries loop at physis, predisposing metaphysis to hematogenous infection. However, we note MRI frequently shows involving both sides physis. The purpose this article is document our observation more pediatric patient population than classically taught.All patients (age, 2-16 years) with clinically suspected from 2004 2009 were reviewed for transphyseal...
The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical, imaging, and surgical findings in cases four neonates with radiographic suggesting duodenal atresia (double-bubble sign) who were subsequently found have malrotation midgut volvulus.When treatment a patient double-bubble sign is be delayed, an upper gastrointestinal or ultrasound needed evaluate for volvulus.
Abstract: Neonatal intestinal obstruction is a common surgical emergency and occurs in approximately 1 2,000 live births. The causes of are diverse with varied embryological origins, some underlying etiologies not yet well described. Some findings neonatal bowel can be detected prenatally on ultrasound imaging. classified as "high" when the level proximal to ileum, "low" at ileum or colon. Early diagnosis type localization obstructive segment guides timely appropriate management pathologic...
Heterotopic ossification refers to formation of lamellar bone in soft tissues. The etiology is diverse and includes genetic, post-traumatic, metabolic causes. Elicitation morphogenic proteins are thought play a key role the pathogenic process. Initially, heterotopic presents clinical radiographic challenge that it can be mistaken for other more worrisome entities which present with calcified tissue masses. However, spontaneous resolution, temporal relationship an inciting agent, evolution...
We report the case of a 16-year-old female with genetic immunodeficiency in whom pulmonary coccidioidomycosis became disseminated. Most infections due to Coccidioides immitis are self-limited and resolve over period weeks months without specific treatment. In rare cases, especially those associated immunodeficiency, disease is found outside confines chest cavity. these most common site dissemination skin. Defining extent often relies on diagnostic imaging.
Abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used to evaluate children with abdominal pain suspected of having acute appendicitis. At our institution, these examinations are preliminarily interpreted by radiology residents, especially when performed after hours.To determine the accuracy preliminary reports rendered residents in this setting.Three hundred seventy-seven pediatric abdominopelvic MRI were included. The (resident) and final (attending) coded as diagnosing...
Properly placed central venous catheters have been effective in establishing prolonged access for total parenteral nutrition infusion ill neonates. However, malposition of the catheter may lead to lethal complications. Malposition and into epidural plexus is most commonly diagnosed on basis radiographs has confirmed by lumbar puncture. Several studies describe associated None, however, demonstrate head ultrasound features.  We present sonographic findings a patient who received...
Intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus is a commonly considered differential diagnosis in the neonate or infant bilious emesis and abdominal pain. The classically-taught scenario which occurs [1]. This teaching, however, being challenged. Recent data of over 60,000 pediatric hospitalizations demonstrated that only approximately 30% discharges for were 1 month old less, 42% those as discharge older than year. Indeed, 75% cases cumulatively presented before 5 years age [2]. discordance...
