Study Objective: Nontraumatic, incidental findings on computed tomography (CT) may be discovered after blunt abdominal trauma in children; however, the rate and importance of these findings are not well known. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and types of incidental CT findings among injured children undergoing abdominal/pelvic CT.
Methods: This was a planned secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study of children (<18 years) who underwent abdominal/pelvic CT after blunt trauma.

The role of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is still under consideration. Fifty pediatric patients were prospectively evaluated for specific clonal rearrangements of immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes using NGS analysis at diagnosis and on days 33 and 78 from therapy onset. The prognostic value or the NGS-MRD status was analyzed after a median follow-up of 4 years.
