Summary
This updated consensus provides guidelines for managing infantile hemangioma (IH), a common pediatric vascular tumor. Early intervention with beta-blockers, like propranolol, and telemedicine improve outcomes for IH patients.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Dermatology
- Vascular Biology
Background:
- Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common pediatric vascular tumor, typically diagnosed clinically.
- While often self-resolving, 10-15% of IH cases lead to severe complications.
- Current literature and expert experience inform updated management strategies for IH.
Framework:
- The IHReS scale is recommended for standardized IH patient referral.
- Telemedicine integration is highlighted for improving IH patient care accessibility.
- Evidence supports the safety and efficacy of beta-blocker therapy for IH.
Implementation:
- Propranolol regimens are extended up to 24 months for sustained IH treatment.
- Clinical practice guidelines emphasize early intervention for better IH outcomes.
- A multidisciplinary expert panel reviewed current scientific literature.
Implications:
- Updated guidelines aim to optimize the management of infantile hemangioma.
- Improved patient outcomes are expected through timely and appropriate IH treatment.
- The consensus promotes standardized care pathways for pediatric vascular tumors.

Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits. Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

The ability of induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs to differentiate into most body cell types has stimulated repair and regenerative medicine research over the past few decades. iPSC-derived blood cells, hepatocytes, beta islet cells, cardiomyocytes, neurons, and other cell types can repair injuries or regenerate damaged tissue in diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.
