Introduction: This case report describes a rare instance of small bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by the ingestion of a whole Shine-Muscat grape in a 7-month-old infant. This case adds to the scientific literature by highlighting the potential risk of common fruits, such as grapes, in causing serious gastrointestinal blockages in pediatric patients, which is an uncommon but important consideration for pediatricians and caregivers.
Main Symptoms And Clinical Findings: A 7-month-old female presented with a 3-day history of vomiting, which progressed to bilious vomiting, accompanied by abdominal distension and dehydration.

We sought to identify facilitators and barriers related to screening for and addressing ACEs in a large integrated healthcare delivery system in Southern California. Using a developmental evaluation approach, we conducted twenty semi-structured interviews with pediatricians, nurses, social workers, and community referral organization staff.
