Delayed traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (DTICH) is seen mostly in trauma to the occipitoparietal region by countercoup mechanism. It is most encountered within the first posttraumatic 10 days, particularly in the first 3. Herein, two cases of delayed traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage were discussed, first one presented with headache and vomiting who had been asymptomatic for 168 days after head trauma and the other presented with dysarthria and hyperkynesias after 92 days of asymptomatic interval, either being longer than that of the previous cases reported in the literature. Despite a long time elapse, DTICH should be considered in the differential diagnosis in the patients with history of head trauma that manifests at later stages with intracranial pressure elevation symptoms such as headache, vomiting.

Emotion dysregulation and impulsivity as overlapping symptoms in adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder: severity profiles and associations with childhood traumatization and personality functioning.
Ann Gen Psychiatry

Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Semmelweis University, 1083 Balassa utca 6, Budapest, Hungary.
Background: Increased levels of emotion dysregulation and impulsive behavior are overlapping symptoms in adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (aADHD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), both symptom domains reflecting on inhibitory control, although from different angles. Our aims were to describe their differences in the above conditions, investigate their associations with childhood traumatization, and to explore the potential mediation of emotion dysregulation and impulsivity between childhood traumas and personality functioning.
Methods: Young adults between 18 and 36 years diagnosed with aADHD (n = 100) and BPD (n = 63) were investigated with structured clinical interviews, while age-matched healthy controls (n = 100) were screened for psychiatric disorders.
Selective diet induced nutritional optic neuropathy in developmentally normal children.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

Department of Ophthalmology, Boston Children's Hospital, 300 Longwood Ave, Fegan 4, Boston, MA, 02115, USA.
Purpose: Nutritional deficiencies in developed countries are a rare but potentially intervenable cause of optic neuropathy in pediatric populations. To date, much of the literature on nutritional optic neuropathy has focused on children with developmental delay, however, a growing body of evidence supports other underreported risk factors.
Observations: We describe three pediatric patients with normal neurodevelopment, who presented with decreased vision and were subsequently found to have optic neuropathy attributed to vitamin deficiencies, predominantly vitamin B12.
A Rare Cause of Scalp Swelling in Infants: Two Case Reports.

Neonatology, Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Santo António, Porto, PRT.
Delayed subaponeurotic fluid collection (DSFC) is an uncommon condition that causes scalp swelling in infants, usually appearing within the first weeks to months of life. Although the precise etiology is unclear, DSFC is frequently associated with instrumental or traumatic deliveries. We report two cases of DSFC: a 12-week-old boy and a six-week-old girl, both presenting with progressive, fluctuant scalp swelling without any history of trauma.

The management of diabetic wounds faces significant challenges due to the excessive activation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), dysregulation of the inflammatory response, and impaired angiogenesis. A substantial body of evidence suggests that the aforementioned diverse factors contributing to the delayed healing of diabetic wounds may be associated with impaired autophagy. Impaired autophagy leads to endothelial and fibroblast dysfunction and impedes macrophage phenotypic transformation.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a devastating cause of death and disability. Outcomes following TBI have been extensively studied; however, less attention has been given to identifying characteristics of individuals who have a favorable outcome following severe TBI. We conducted a retrospective analysis of a database containing information on TBI patients admitted to a level 1 trauma center between 2015 and 2021.
