Magnet ingestion is associated with an extremely high risk of gastrointestinal damage because loops of bowel can become trapped and squeezed between multiple magnets in different locations. However, the lack of imaging sensitivity makes clinical decision-making difficult.

Methods: Eligible patients recruited from January 2004 to December 2018 in our hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study. A total of 59 cases of congenital choledochal cysts with perforation were defined as the perforation group, and 100 cases of congenital choledochal cysts without perforation with similar symptoms were defined as the control group.
Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to create a predictive nomogram for biliary atresia (BA) in infants by analyzing gallbladder shape, liver stiffness, and patient demographics.
- *The research included 294 patients under 70 days old with cholestasis, who were split into training and validation groups for analysis using ultrasound techniques and statistical methods.
- *Key factors like age, gallbladder morphology, and liver elasticity were identified as significant predictors of BA, leading to a nomogram that demonstrated high accuracy in diagnosis.*

February 2009
Background: Intake of melamine can cause renal and ureteral lithiasis in infants and children. The present study aimed to understand the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of renal and ureteral lithiasis in infants and young children caused by melamine, and the characteristics of ultrasonograms of melamine-associated calculi.
Methods: Ultrasonographic examination on the urinary system was performed for 28 332 children who ingested milk powder that was possibly tainted with melamine; 395 of the children were diagnosed by ultrasonography as having urinary calculus, and 231 cases had lump-like calculi and 164 cases had sand gravel-like calculi.
