MR enterography radiologic ulcers in newly diagnosed ileal Crohn disease in children: frequency, inter-radiologist agreement, and clinical correlation.

Background: Radiologic ulcers are increasingly recognized as an imaging finding of bowel wall active inflammation in Crohn disease (CD).

Objective: To determine the frequency of ulcers at MR enterography (MRE) in children with newly diagnosed ileal CD, assess agreement between radiologists, and evaluate if their presence correlates with other imaging and clinical features of intestinal active inflammation.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 108 consecutive pediatric patients (ages 6-18 years) with newly diagnosed ileal CD that underwent clinical MRE prior to treatment initiation between January 2021 and December 2022.

Noncontrast free-breathing ECG-gated 3D balanced steady-state free precession in congenital heart disease and aortopathy evaluation.

Background: High-fidelity cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays a pivotal role in the surveillance of congenital heart disease (CHD) and aortopathy.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the quality and accuracy of free breathing, ECG-gated noncontrast three-dimensional (3D) balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) in cases of CHDs and aortopathies using contrast-enhanced 3D bSSFP as a reference. We also used one of our routinely used non-ECG-gated 2D-single-shot (SSh) bSSFP sequence as an adjunct to noncontrast 3D bSSFP.

Retrospective evaluation of pediatric dental treatments under deep sedation.

This study identified the dental treatment modalities administered to patients undergoing dental procedures under deep sedation and examined potential relations among treatment types, age, gender and tooth types. This study protocol included data from 502 patients, including a total of 5141 teeth, who underwent dental procedures under deep sedation between October 2022 and October 2023. The dental treatments were categorized based on primary types and subtypes.

First Reported Case of Anaphylaxis to Nebulized Tranexamic Acid in a Pediatric Patient: A Rare but Critical Event.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a medication used to treat or prevent excessive blood loss due to certain medical conditions. It has a low side effect profile and is safe to administer in most instances. Anaphylaxis cases due to intravenous TXA have been reported in the literature.

Normal ovarian sizes on MRI in pediatric patients: a preliminary study.

Background: Ovarian enlargement is one of several findings of pathology, including ovarian torsion. With increasing use of MRI for acute abdominal pain in children, data for normal ovary size and appearance are needed.

Objective: To provide preliminary data on normal sizes of ovaries on MRI in pediatric patients.
