The prevalence of subdural blood products in extremely premature infants with no history of abusive head trauma, studied by magnetic resonance imaging around term-equivalent age.
Pediatr Radiol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the risk of subdural hemorrhages (SDHs) in extremely premature infants, focusing on their prevalence, identification agreement in MRI evaluations, and measuring subarachnoid spaces.
- - A total of 121 infants underwent MRI, revealing no significant SDHs, but 49.5% had some form of intracranial hemorrhage related to prematurity, with reliable identification rates for hemorrhage across observers.
- - The findings suggest that premature infants are not more susceptible to SDHs not caused by abuse in the first few months, though many exhibited enlarged subarachnoid spaces.
Genetics of hip dysplasia - a systematic literature review.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) affects about 2-3% of newborns and is linked to increased risks of osteoarthritis in young adults, leading to many hip replacements before age 40.
- The study reviewed 73 papers, including 31 focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DDH, but found many studies lacked sufficient power to identify significant genetic associations.
- While DDH is known to be hereditary, the research is limited and no definitive genetic risk factors have been identified, indicating a need for further investigations.
The goal of this paper is to provide a useful desktop reference for the imaging of suspected child abuse with clear, age-specific pathways for appropriate evidence-based imaging and follow-up. We aim to provide a road map for the imaging evaluation and follow-up of this important and vulnerable cohort of patients presenting with signs and symptoms concerning for inflicted injury. As the imaging recommendations differ for children of different ages, we provide a flowchart of the appropriate imaging pathway for infants, toddlers, and older children, which allows ease of selection of which children should undergo skeletal survey, non-contrast computed tomography (CT) brain with 3-dimensional (D) reformats, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and whole spine.

However, no imaging modality currently provides a full evaluation of bone health in children. We compared DXA, a radiographic bone health index (BHI (BoneXpert) and cone-beam CT for the assessment of low bone mass in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

- Researchers wanted to understand how often young kids under two get fractures and if they’re from accidents or abuse.
- They looked at various studies from 1946 to 2024 and found that about 5 to 9 kids out of every 1,000 get fractures each year.
- The most common fractures happened in the arm and leg bones, while infants had fewer fractures, mostly in the collarbone.
