Journal ArticleDOI
US or CT for Diagnosis of Appendicitis in Children and Adults? A Meta-Analysis
Andrea S. Doria,Rahim Moineddin,Christian J. Kellenberger,Monica Epelman,Joseph Beyene,Suzanne Schuh,Paul Babyn,Paul T. Dick +7 more
TL;DR: CT had a significantly higher sensitivity than did US in studies of children and adults; from the safety perspective, however, one should consider the radiation associated with CT, especially in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterozygous Mutations in the LDL Receptor‐Related Protein 5 (LRP5) Gene Are Associated With Primary Osteoporosis in Children
Heini Hartikka,Outi Mäkitie,Outi Mäkitie,Minna Männikkö,Andrea S. Doria,Alan Daneman,William G. Cole,Leena Ala-Kokko,Leena Ala-Kokko,Etienne Sochett +9 more
TL;DR: Three of 20 patients with juvenile osteoporosis were found to have a heterozygous mutation in the LRP5 gene, and mutations in the other family members with similar bone phenotype confirmed that L RP5 has a role in both juvenile and adult osteoporeosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Treatment Improves Growth and Biochemical and Radiographic Outcome in X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets
TL;DR: The data suggest that treatment commenced in early infancy results in improved outcome in patients with XLH, but does not completely normalize skeletal development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Müllerian Duct Anomalies and Mimics in Children and Adolescents: Correlative Intraoperative Assessment with Clinical Imaging
Beatriz L P Junqueira,Lisa Allen,Rachel F. Spitzer,Kerith L. Lucco,Paul Babyn,Andrea S. Doria +5 more
TL;DR: When an MDA is suspected, ultrasonography should be performed initially to delineate any abnormalities in the genital tract, however, US cannot help identify the type of MDA, and magnetic resonance imaging is a valuable technique for noninvasive evaluation of the female pelvic anatomy and accurate MDA classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of Non-Diagnostic Ultrasound Scanning in Children with Suspected Appendicitis
Suzanne Schuh,Carina Man,Adam Cheng,Adam Cheng,Amanda Murphy,Arun Mohanta,Rahim Moineddin,George Tomlinson,Jacob C. Langer,Andrea S. Doria +9 more
TL;DR: Screening ultrasound scanning for pediatric appendicitis has suboptimal accuracy, particularly in obese children with a low likelihood of appendiciti who should not routinely undergo ultrasound scanning, but when followed by a second ultrasound scanning or a clinical reassessment, it offers high diagnostic accuracy in lean children.
