Associations between MRI and endoscopic ultrasound findings in the pancreas in children and young adults with suspected chronic pancreatitis Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are both used to diagnose pancreatitis but how findings relate across modalities has …

Both #EUS & #MRI are acceptable imaging modalities for diagnosis of chronic #pancreatitis in #children - we wanted to understand how findings on these modalities might match up (or not)

=the modalities agree on duct findings but less so on parenchymal findings

Tips for asking ?s as moderator #ISTH2025

Clinical talk: what future directions do you see this work taking?

Basic science: how do you envision this translating to the clinic?

Next level pro tip: contact author beforehand to see what they didn’t have time to present that they’d like you to ask

If we want a stronger Ohio tomorrow, we have to invest in our children today. That starts with supporting our teachers, investing in our schools, and giving every child a chance to succeed.

Bethesda Declaration — STAND UP FOR SCIENCE Support NIH Staff Now!

NIH staff write urgent open letter to the NIH Director:

"We urge you as NIH Director to restore grants delayed or terminated for political reasons so that life-saving science can continue."

Dear editors, your publication delays are damaging our careers Chia-Hsuan Hsu waited 18 months before chasing an editor for a decision on a paper. The answer surprised him.

Absolutely! Editors need to make faster decisions (even if desk reject) and not let authors wait for months

Dear editors, your publication delays are damaging our careers

I missed DDW…
Looks like more interventions in patients with SCD.
Were attacks of pancreatitis more severe?
I wonder about the impact of iron loading on attack severity.

Things We Do For No Reason: Avoiding IV iodinated contrast in AKI or CKD

I think of those who give prolonged meropenem for "undifferentiated sepsis" but refuse to arrange contrast CT to look for the source because the patient has abnormal RFT

New in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine: Thyroid cancer patients who receive radioiodine (RAI) therapy after surgery have increased relative survival rates compared to patients who do not. The benefit is observed in patients from low to high-risk subgroups. 🧵

#pedsrad #pancreatitis

One more resource:

If you want to be sure that your #pancreas #mri protocol gives you everything you need to address all reporting elements, consider the consensus minimum protocol we previously described

ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/...

#pedsrad #pancreatitis

We recommend use of these reporting standards when reading any #ct or #mri for #pediatric chronic #pancreatitis

Goal is standard language leads to clearer communication & more uniform reporting both clinically & in #research

#pedsrad

We prev showed interobserver agreement can be problematic when imaging #pediatric #pancreatitis (see: ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/...)

A step toward addressing that is agreeing on terminology & thresholds for abnormal - our new work seeks to do that:
