Article Synopsis
- 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.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze bone marrow appearances in the appendicular skeleton of healthy children and adolescents using whole-body MRI with fat suppression.
- It involved 196 participants aged 5-19 years, where bone marrow signals were graded for intensity and extension using a newly created scoring system.
- Results showed that over half of the individuals displayed significant focal areas of high signal intensity, primarily in the hands, humerus, feet, and knees, highlighting the need for careful interpretation of MRI findings in this population.
Article Synopsis
- Whole-body MRI is gaining popularity in children, but there hasn't been a study on its reliability until now.
- This study aimed to evaluate how consistently radiologists can score high signal areas in bone marrow using a specific scoring system on MRI images.
- The findings showed that assessing signal intensity and extension of these areas had good reliability between different observers, while the evaluation of shape and contour was less consistent.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare bone disorder characterized by inflammatory lesions, diagnosed in children based on specific criteria that exclude infections and malignancies.
- A study analyzed MRI findings in 75 children diagnosed with CNO from 2012 to 2018, revealing that pain was a common symptom, along with raised inflammatory markers in a majority of cases.
- The results showed that boys and girls are affected similarly, with the most commonly involved bones being the femur, tibia, and pelvis; isolated back pain was notably reported in about 24% of the cases, especially among girls.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a paediatric musculoskeletal disease of unknown aetiology, leading to walking alterations when the lower-limb joints are involved. Diagnosis of JIA is mostly clinical. Imaging can quantify impairments associated to inflammation and joint damage.
