Arterial Ischemic Stroke in Children: Navigating Diagnostic and Management Pathways.

Radiographics

October 2025

Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Pediatric stroke is garnering increased attention due to its rising incidence and significant impact on affected children, families, and the health care system. Arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major subtype of pediatric stroke and often results from arterial occlusion. Diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in children pose unique challenges, primarily because of nonspecific symptoms, lack of pediatric-focused imaging protocols, distinct causes (compared with in adults), and the large number of stroke mimics.

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) has emerged as a powerful tool to personalize drug selection and dosing based on a patient's genetic profile. However, there are a range of challenges that impede uptake in current clinical practice. For example, clinicians often express frustration with commercially available PGx panel tests, which fail to consistently include all key actionable PGx genes (according to the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) PGx guidelines, or The Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG) guidelines) and instead are too long with clinically unimportant information (unvalidated genotypes).

The deployment of AI in medical imaging, particularly in areas such as fracture detection, represents a transformative advancement in orthopaedic care. AI-driven systems, leveraging deep-learning algorithms, promise to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce variability, and streamline workflows by analyzing radiograph images swiftly and accurately. Despite these potential benefits, the integration of AI into clinical settings faces substantial barriers, including slow adoption across health systems, technical challenges, and a major lag between technology development and clinical implementation.

Importance: Kidney transplant (KT) is the optimal treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The evaluation process for KT is lengthy, time-consuming, and burdensome, and racial and ethnic disparities persist.

Objective: To investigate the potential association of the Kidney Transplant Fast Track (KTFT) evaluation approach with the likelihood of waitlisting, KT, and associated disparities compared with standard care.
