Background: Although subgaleal hemorrhage can present very soon after delivery with catastrophic consequences, subaponeurotic or subgaleal fluid collections are rare and clinically distinct causes of infant scalp swelling that present weeks to months after birth. Their exact etiology remains uncertain; however, they are frequently associated with instrumental and traumatic delivery.
Aim & Methods: To characterize 11 subaponeurotic fluid collections that presented to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital Emergency Department (TSCUHED) from July 2013 to July 2015 by a retrospective chart review.
Case Report: Eleven infants were identified with delayed subaponeurotic fluid collections. Of note, all infants were either successful vacuum delivery or failed vacuum delivery with subsequent forceps delivery or emergency caesarean section. All infants were otherwise well at presentation, and resolution of the scalp swelling occurred within weeks to months. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: This condition follows a benign course and conservative management is the treatment of choice.

Background: A stable and reproducible experimental bacterial pneumonia model postintracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is necessary to help investigating the pathogenesis and novel treatments of Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP).
Aim: To establish a Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia-complicating ICH rat model and an acute lung injury (ALI)-complicating ICH rat model.
Methods: We established two standardized models of post-ICH pneumonia by nasal inoculation with () or intratracheal inoculation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Background: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic liver disease (CLD). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess and compare the prevalence of SIBO among CLD patients (with and without with complications of end stage liver disease) and healthy controls.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched from inception up to July-2024 for case-control studies reporting SIBO in CLD.
