Introduction: The clinical utility of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in predicting subsequent subclinical cardiovascular damages in pediatric population remains poorly understood.
Methods: Data on 1,161 Chinese children aged 10-15 years were used to assess the longitudinal associations of MASLD with subsequent subclinical cardiovascular damages.
Results: Compared with relatively healthy children, children with MASLD had abnormal vascular and cardiac structures, along with reduced cardiac diastolic function at the 2-year follow-up.
Precocious puberty: the unlikely herald of Familial adenomatous polyposis in a young girl.

We describe the case of a girl in her middle childhood who presented with signs of heterosexual precocious puberty in the form of axillary and pubic hair growth, acne and clitoromegaly. Investigations showed elevated androgens and autonomous cortisol excess, suggesting an adrenal source. CT imaging confirmed a left adrenal mass and multiple colonic polyps.

Background And Objective: Previous studies have shown positive associations of waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) among children and adolescents. However, most of these studies were cross-sectional or limited to only two time points. We aim to estimate the association of trajectories in WC and WHtR with LVH during childhood.

Evaluating altered mental status and suspected meningeal disorders in children often begins with imaging, typically before a lumbar puncture. The challenge is that meningeal enhancement is a common finding across a range of pathologies, making diagnosis complex. This review proposes a categorization of meningeal diseases based on their predominant imaging characteristics.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus, which is mediated by Th2 cells that could start at any age, from early childhood to adulthood. The pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood, but apparently it consists of a combined interaction between hereditary and environmental factors. Over the years, EoE has become an increasingly diagnosed disease in the context of esophageal symptoms.
