Waugh's syndrome (WS) is the rare association of intussusception and intestinal malrotation. We present two such cases in a 5-month-old infant and a 9-year-old girl. Both patients presented with intussusception and were diagnosed with malrotation during workup and surgical exploration. We conclude that the possibility of intestinal malrotation must be taken into consideration while managing children with intussusception.

Workers regularly using vibrating hand tools may develop a disorder referred to as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). HAVS is characterized by cold-induced vasospasms in the hands and fingers that result in blanching of the skin, loss of sensory function, pain, and reductions in manual dexterity. Exposure to vibration induces some of these symptoms.

Introduction: Waugh's syndrome, characterized by the concurrent presence of acute intussusception and gut malrotation, is a rare clinical entity. The relationship between these conditions is not well-explored, and the true incidence may be underreported.
Case Presentation: A 4 month old male infant, with an uneventful medical history, presented to the pediatric emergency department due to irritability and rectal bleeding lasting one day.

Waugh's syndrome is a rare disease that typically presents as acute-onset intussusception caused by gut malrotation. This disease, while generally reported during infancy or childhood, can also affect adults. This case report describes the rare case of Waugh's syndrome in an adult with cystic fibrosis.

Objective: This study described the effects of applied force (grip) on vascular and sensorineural function in an animal model of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).
Methods: Rat tails were exposed to 0, 2, or 4 N of applied force 4 hr/d for 10 days. Blood flow and sensitivity to transcutaneous electrical stimulation and pressure were measured.
