    Insights

    This review covers childhood jaundice, focusing on persistent cases that may indicate cholestasis. It highlights key differential diagnoses and introduces essential diagnostic imaging techniques for accurate evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Medical Imaging
    • Neonatology

    Context:

    • Jaundice is a common condition in neonates, with physiological jaundice affecting over half of full-term infants.
    • Persistent or late-onset jaundice in children necessitates evaluation for cholestasis.

    Purpose:

    • To review differential diagnoses for pediatric cholestasis.
    • To introduce diagnostic imaging techniques for evaluating cholestasis in children.

    Summary:

    • This review covers common causes of jaundice in children, focusing on cholestasis.
    • It details the role of imaging studies in differentiating conditions such as biliary atresia and other extrahepatic bile duct disorders.
    • Normal imaging findings are also presented.

    Impact:

    • Aids clinicians in diagnosing the cause of prolonged jaundice in pediatric patients.
    • Provides a guide to essential imaging modalities for evaluating biliary system disorders in children.
    • Enhances understanding of cholestasis differential diagnoses and imaging interpretation.

    Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

    The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
    Albinism
    Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

    Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

    Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
    Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

    Pigmentation01:19

    Pigmentation

    The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
    Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

    Signs of Puberty

    Puberty is a critical phase, typically beginning between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys, though timing can vary based on genetics, environmental factors, and overall health. This period is characterized by the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the attainment of reproductive potential. Endocrine changes underpin puberty, with hormonal surges of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) instigated by Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)...

    Skin Diseases and Disorders

    Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
    Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

    Disorders of Erythrocytes01:27

    Disorders of Erythrocytes

    Disorders of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), include a range of conditions affecting their number, shape, or function.
    Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
    A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
    On the other...
