- Children and adolescents often present with different symptoms and genetic factors than adult psoriasis patients.
- Diagnosing psoriasis in young patients can be challenging, leading to delays, and treatment options include topical therapies, UV therapy, and systemic therapy when necessary.
Article Abstract
Psoriasis in childhood and adolescence Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease affecting 2-3% of the worldwide population. Onset in childhood and adolescence is not uncommon and around 30% of patients report onset before 20 years of age. Childhood psoriasis has been shown to differ in clinical presentation and in underlying genetics compared to adult psoriasis patients. To diagnose psoriasis in children with mild skin involvement may be difficult and the correct diagnosis is often delayed in children compared to adult psoriasis patients. Differential diagnoses include eczema, tinea and pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP). Topical therapy is often effective but UV-therapy and systemic therapy is sometimes indicated.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is an aggressive mature T-cell lymphoma characterized by significant hepatosplenomegaly, bone marrow involvement, and minimal or no lymphadenopathy. Primarily affecting young adults, it is exceptionally rare in children and adolescents. This makes diagnosis and treatment particularly challenging for pathologists and pediatric oncologists.

Background: Psychiatric disorders are a substantial public health concern, and childhood adversity a well-known risk factor for it. Investigating gender differences in vulnerability and resilience processes following out-of-home care (OHC) as proxy for childhood adversity can help map opportunities for the prevention of psychiatric disorders.
Methods: We followed a large birth cohort for psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, and self-harm, and substance misuse) between age 25-62 years, comparing individuals with and without OHC experience.
Measurement of inferior colliculus volume based on MRI image stacks and its relationship with age and hearing status.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.
The inferior colliculus is a key nucleus in the central auditory pathway, integrating acoustic stimuli from both cochleae and playing a crucial role in sound localization. It undergoes functional and structural development in childhood and experiences age-related degeneration later in life, contributing to the progression of age-related hearing loss. This study aims at finding out, whether the volume of the human inferior colliculus can be determined by analysis of routinely performed MRIs and whether there is any age-related variation.
