Recurrent cervicothoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma in a toddler.

Background: Recurrent cases of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma are rare, and there are no reports of spontaneous resolution and recurrence in toddlers.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a toddler with a cervical spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma, characterized by three episodes of sudden-onset transient torticollis with subsequent natural recovery. The patient was referred to our hospital after the second episode, during which symptoms were already improving.

Chronic Subdural Hematoma after Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy for Chronic Obstructive Hydrocephalus: A Case Report.

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a safe treatment option for chronic obstructive hydrocephalus. However, we encountered a case of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) with bilateral large hematoma volumes after ETV for chronic obstructive hydrocephalus. We herein report a rare complication of ETV.

Effects of fermented soymilk with Lacticaseibacillus paracasei YIT 9029 on gut microbiota and defecation habits: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Previous studies have demonstrated that soymilk and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei YIT 9029 (strain Shirota: LcS) each beneficially affect the gut microbiota and defecation habits. To investigate the effects of daily consumption of fermented soymilk containing LcS (FSM), we conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 112 healthy Japanese adults with a low faecal Bifidobacterium count. They consumed 100 ml FSM or placebo (unfermented soymilk base) once daily for 4 weeks.
