Fibrosing colonopathy associated with cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules in cystinosis patients.

Background: The objective of this report is to identify and characterize cases of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare and underrecognized adverse event, associated with cysteamine delayed-release (DR) in patients with nephropathic cystinosis.

Methods: We searched the U.S.

Juvenile Bone Toxicity: Study Considerations, Regulations, and Techniques for Assessment.

Recommendations on study designs that adequately evaluate the in-life effects leading to juvenile bone toxicity, the various imaging modalities that can aid interpretation of the bone effects, biomarkers that may be useful, and regulatory issues were presented in this 2020 ACT symposium. The pathologies encountered in past studies were briefly mentioned. The first speaker covered study design and the numbers of juveniles that may be necessary to power the evaluation.

The Typology and Topography of Child Abuse and Neglect: The Experience of a Tertiary Children's Centre.

Effective child protection systems and processes require reliable and accurate data. The aim of this study was to determine what data could be extracted from hospital records in a single site that reflected a child's journey from admission with suspected abuse to the decisions regarding substantiation made by the multidisciplinary child protection team. A retrospective study of the case records of 452 children referred to a major UK children's tertiary centre for suspected child maltreatment was undertaken.

Mechanisms of skeletal muscle injury and repair revealed by gene expression studies in mouse models.

Common acute injuries to skeletal muscle can lead to significant pain and disability. The current therapeutic approaches for treating muscle injuries are dependent on the clinical severity but not on the type of injury. In the present studies, the pathophysiology and molecular pathways associated with two different types of skeletal muscle injury, one induced by direct destruction of muscle tissue (i.
