Article Abstract
Neuroimaging protocols play an important role in the timely evaluation and treatment of pediatric stroke and its mimics. MRI protocols for stroke in the pediatric population should be guided by the clinical scenario and neurologic examination, with consideration of age, suspected infarct type and underlying risk factors. Acute stroke diagnosis and causes in pediatric age groups can differ significantly from those in adult populations, and delay in stroke diagnosis among children is a common problem. An awareness of pediatric stroke presentations and risk factors among pediatric emergency physicians, neurologists, pediatricians, subspecialists and radiologists is critical to ensuring timely diagnosis. Given special considerations related to unique pediatric stroke risk factors and the need for sedation in some children, expert consensus guidelines for the imaging of suspected pediatric infarct have been proposed. In this article the authors review standard and rapid MRI protocols for the diagnosis of pediatric stroke, as well as the key differences between pediatric and adult stroke imaging.

LONP1 encodes a mitochondrial protease essential for protein quality control and metabolism. Variants in LONP1 are associated with a diverse and expanding spectrum of disorders, including Cerebral, Ocular, Dental, Auricular, and Skeletal anomalies syndrome (CODAS), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), with some individuals exhibiting features of mitochondrial encephalopathy. We report 16 novel LONP1 variants identified in 16 individuals (11 with NDD, 5 with CDH), further expanding the clinical spectrum.

Background: In sports science, freestyle swimming has been thoroughly studied for particular performance-related factors. Nonetheless, it is unknown what countries the top freestyle swimmers are from, especially not for age group swimmers. In addition, the existing research on the performance of master freestyle swimmers has yet to confirm that male swimmers achieve faster times than their female counterparts across all age groups and distances.

Hemophilia, an X-linked monogenic disorder, arises from mutations in the or genes, which encode clotting factor VIII (FVIII) or clotting factor IX (FIX), respectively. As a prominent hereditary coagulation disorder, hemophilia is clinically manifested by spontaneous hemorrhagic episodes. Severe cases may progress to complications such as stroke and arthropathy, significantly compromising patients' quality of life.

Objectives: Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a complication of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) that carries a risk of secondary brain injury. This study investigated the association between ICP burden and brain injury patterns on MRI in children with severe TBI.
Design, Setting, And Patients: Secondary analysis of the Approaches and Decisions in Acute Pediatric TBI (ADAPT) study, which included children with severe TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale score < 9) who received a clinical MRI within 30 days of injury.

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), also called noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCM), is a myocardial disease that affects children and adults. Morphological features of LVNC include a noncompacted spongiform myocardium due to the presence of excessive trabeculations and deep recesses between prominent trabeculae. Incidence and prevalence rates of this disease remain contentious due to varying clinical phenotypes, ranging from an asymptomatic phenotype to fulminant heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, and sudden death.
