    Resolution of consumptive hypothyroidism secondary to infantile hepatic hemangiomatosis with combination propranolol and levothyroxine.
    J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol 2018 Feb 28. Epub 2018 Feb 28.
    Infantile hepatic hemangiomas (IHH), particularly of the diffuse subtype, can in severe cases be associated with hepatic and cardiac failure, compartment syndrome, and consumptive hypothyroidism. Early recognition and treatment of these pathologies is paramount in order to minimise the risk of longterm sequelae.

    Am J Med Genet A 2018 Apr 13;176(4):1015-1022. Epub 2018 Feb 13.
    Center for Craniofacial Research, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Dentistry, Houston, Texas.
    Tooth development is regulated by multiple genetic pathways, which ultimately drive the complex interactions between the oral epithelium and mesenchyme. Disruptions at any time point during this process may lead to failure of tooth development, also known as tooth agenesis (TA). TA is a common craniofacial abnormality in humans and represents the failure to develop one or more permanent teeth. Read More
