Article Synopsis
- Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that leads to benign tumor-like growths in various organs, most notably the skin, brain, and kidneys.
- An 8-year-old boy with TSC showed significant bone growth in his ribs and vertebrae, indicating that bone involvement may be underappreciated in this condition.
- The study highlights the potential of mTOR inhibitors as a treatment option for bone abnormalities in TSC and calls for more research into how this disorder affects the skeletal system.
Background/purpose: Evidence indicates that young adults are at significant risk for powered personal watercraft (PWC)-related injuries. This article examines the nature of PWC injuries sustained in the pediatric population over a 10-year period.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted of trauma registry charts on 66 pediatric patients, aged 5 to 19 years, hospitalized for PWC-related injuries between 1990 and 1999.
