Pediatric chest radiograph interpretation in a real-life setting.

Unlabelled: Chest radiography is a frequently used imaging modality in children. However, only fair to moderate inter-observer agreement has been reported between chest radiograph interpreters. Most studies were not performed in real-world clinical settings.

CMR Imaging 6 Months After Myocarditis Associated with the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine.

Temporal association between BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and myocarditis (PCVM) has been reported. We herein present early and 6-month clinical follow-up and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) of patients with PVCM. A retrospective collection of data from 15 patients with PCVM and abnormal CMR was performed.

Magnetic resonance findings may aid in diagnosis of protracted febrile myalgia syndrome: a retrospective, multicenter study.

Background: Protracted febrile myalgia syndrome (PFMS) is a rare complication of Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). The diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and is often challenging, especially when PFMS is the initial manifestation of FMF. The aim of this report was to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in pediatric patients with PFMS.

Blunt High-Grade Pancreatic Injury in Children: A 20-Year Experience in Two Pediatric Surgical Centers.

Background: Pancreatic trauma is uncommon in pediatric patients and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While non-operative management (NOM) of minor pancreatic injuries is well accepted, the management of major pancreatic injuries remains controversial.

Objectives: To evaluate management strategies for major blunt pancreatic injury in children.

Do geography and ethnicity play a role in juvenile Spondyloarthritis? A multi-center binational retrospective study.

Background: Observations among Israeli pediatric rheumatologists reveal that pediatric Juvenile Spondyloarthritis (JSpA) may present differently compared to patients from the United States (US). This study is aimed to compare the demographic and clinical variables of Israeli and US JSpA patients upon presentation.

Methods: We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter comparison of JSpA patients among 3 large Israeli pediatric rheumatology centers and a large US pediatric rheumatology center.
