Published: May 2014

Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe the indications and techniques for bowel ultrasound for inflammatory bowel disease and other common and uncommon entities and describe and illustrate their imaging appearances, including endoscopic or surgical correlation.

Conclusion: Ultrasound is a useful tool for the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease and many other bowel diseases. Radiologists must become familiar with the full potential of ultrasound in the evaluation of the bowel in children because the need for alternative radiation-free imaging techniques continues to grow.

January 2025

Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure, Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711, United States.

Consumer products are a major source of chemicals that may pose a health risk. It is important to understand what chemicals are in these products to evaluate risk and assess new products for uncommon ingredients. Suspect screening analysis (SSA) using two-dimensional gas chromatography-high-resolution-time-of-flight/mass spectrometry (GCxGC-HR-TOF/MS) was applied to 92 consumer products from 5 categories.

This literature review aims to comprehensively evaluate the clinical and dermoscopic presentations of common pediatric diseases among children with skin of color (SoC) while also addressing potential variations based on racial backgrounds. This review encompasses various conditions, such as nevi subtypes, viral infections, infestations, and inflammatory dermatoses, as well as hair diseases and abnormal vascular formations, occurring in pediatric populations. Overall, we identified 7 studies on nevi subtypes, 24 studies on skin infections, 6 on inflammatory dermatoses, 10 on hair diseases and disorders, and 14 on miscellaneous disorders that also satisfied our SoC- and race-specific criteria.
