Update on Treatment of Infantile Hemangiomas: What's New in the Last Five Years?

Among benign vascular tumors of infancy, hemangiomas are the commonest, affecting approximately 5-10% of one-year-old children. They are derived from a benign proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in the mesoderm and may arise anywhere on the body around 1-2 weeks after birth. Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are characterized by an early proliferative phase in the first year followed by a spontaneous progressive regression within the following 5 years or longer. IH prevalence is estimated to be 5%-10% in one-year-old children and commonly affects female, Caucasian and low-birth weight infants. Although most of them spontaneously regress, approximately 10% requires treatment to prevent complications due to the site of occurrence such as bleeding, ulceration, cosmetically disfigurement, functional impairment, or life-threatening complications. For over 30 years, steroids have represented the first-line treatment for IHs, but recently topical or systemic β-blockers are increasingly being used and recognized as effective and safe. A search for "Cutaneous infantile hemangioma" [All Fields] AND "Treatment" [All Fields] was performed by using PubMed and EMBASE databases. Treatment of IHs with labeled drugs, such as oral propranolol, but also with off-label drugs, such as topical β-blockers, including topical timolol and carteolol, steroids, itraconazole or sirolimus, with a focus on formulations types and adverse events were described in our review. We also discussed the benefits of pulsed dye laser and the treatment of IHs with involvement of central nervous system, namely the PHACE and LUMBAR syndrome.

The Role of Formal Policy to Promote Informed Consent of Psychotropic Medications for Youth in Child Welfare Custody: A National Examination.

Authors:
Thomas I Mackie Ana J Schaefer John S Palatucci Laurel K Leslie Stephen Crystal Michael Gusmano Hannah E Karpman

Adm Policy Ment Health 2022 Aug 6. Epub 2022 Aug 6.

Smith College, North Hampton, MA, 01062, USA.

Active participation of youth and surrogate decision-makers in providing informed consent and assent for mental health treatment is critical. However, the procedural elements of an informed consent process, particularly for youth in child welfare custody, are not well defined. Given calls for psychotropic medication oversight for youth in child welfare custody, this study proposes a taxonomy for the procedural elements of informed consent policies based upon formal and informal child welfare policies and then examines whether enacted state formal policies across the United States endorsed these elements.

3D imaging of vascular anomalies using raster-scanning optoacoustic mesoscopy.

Emily L Geisler Andrew Brannen Mark Pressler Jeyna Perez Alex A Kane Rami R Hallac

Lasers Surg Med 2022 Jul 23. Epub 2022 Jul 23.

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA.

Objectives: Vascular anomalies such as capillary malformations (CMs) and infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are common pediatric vascular disorders that are treated with therapeutic laser. The treatment method, however, relies on subjective evaluation of clinical findings and can have unpredictable results. Raster-scanning optoacoustic mesoscopy (RSOM) is an innovative imaging technology using pulsed-light laser to excite hemoglobin, generating ultrasound waves that are converted into three-dimensional images of tissues.

Terapia Analítico-Comportamental (TAC) (in English, behavioral-analytic therapy, behavior therapy, or clinical behavior analysis) is a possible intervention for cases of anxiety and depression, but it still has much to advance in terms of efficacy and clinical utility evidence. This article aims to describe the effects of a semi-structured intervention in the model of TAC regarding anxiety and depression, behavior, complaints, and satisfaction indicators. Participants included three women with children, marital relationships, and work, aged between 34 and 41 with complaints compatible with anxiety and depression disorders. Read More
