Assessment of superior mesenteric vascular flow quantitation in children using four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging: A feasibility study.
World J Radiol
February 2025
Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, University of California Benioff Children's Hospital, San Francisco, CA 94158, United States.
Background: Four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used as a noninvasive modality for assessing hemodynamic information with neurovascular and body applications. The application of 4D flow MRI for assessment of bowel disease in children has not been previously described.
Aim: To determine feasibility of superior mesenteric venous and arterial flow quantitation in pediatric patients using 4D flow MRI.

Article Synopsis
- Defining prognostic factors for T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL) is complex, as shown in the AALL1231 trial that included children and young adults with T acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-LL, comparing standard therapy with the addition of bortezomib.
- In the trial, 41% of patients provided bone marrow samples to measure minimal residual disease (MRD) after treatment, revealing that those with MRD levels below 0.1% had a significantly better event-free survival rate (89%) compared to those with MRD at or above 0.1% (64%).
- Cox regression analysis indicated that having MRD levels at or above 0.1%

Sugar intake, particularly fructose, is implicated as a factor contributing to insulin resistance via hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL). A nine-day fructose reduction trial, controlling for other dietary factors and weight, in children with obesity and metabolic syndrome, decreased DNL and mitigated cardiometabolic risk (CMR) biomarkers. Ceramides are bioactive sphingolipids whose dysregulated metabolism contribute to lipotoxicity, insulin resistance, and CMR.

Background: Poor diets contribute to metabolic complications of obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Metabolomic biomarkers may serve as early nutrition-sensitive health indicators. This family-based lifestyle change program compared metabolic outcomes in an intervention group (INT) that consumed 2 nutrient bars daily for 2-months and a control group (CONT).

The medical practitioner has an important role to play in the management of adolescents with eating disorders, usually as part of a multidisciplinary team. This article reviews the role of the medical practitioner in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders, updating the reader on the changing epidemiology of eating disorders, revised diagnostic criteria, newer methods of assessing degree of malnutrition, more aggressive approaches to refeeding, and current approaches to managing low bone mass.
