Article Synopsis
  • An infant diagnosed with biliary atresia had unexpectedly low serum gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) levels, which are usually elevated in this condition.
  • This low-GGT cholestasis is linked to worse health outcomes, although the exact reasons for it are still unclear.
  • Despite testing showing no genetic variants related to other poor prognosis disorders, the patient remains stable at 14 months, prompting recommendations for further genetic investigations in similar cases.

Introduction: In the field of pediatric trauma computer-aided detection (CADe) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) systems have emerged offering a promising avenue for improved patient care. Especially children with wrist fractures may benefit from machine learning (ML) solutions, since some of these lesions may be overlooked on conventional X-ray due to minimal compression without dislocation or mistaken for cartilaginous growth plates. In this article, we describe the development and optimization of AI algorithms for wrist fracture detection in children.
