Bruising rarely presents in infants younger than 9 months who are not ambulatory and is more prevalent among children beginning to walk, or "cruisers." We present the case of a healthy 3-month-old infant with asymptomatic, symmetric, bilateral, large bruises on the bony chest sparing the mid-chest/sternum with a negative non-accidental trauma work-up. The noted pattern of bruises matched the bilateral shoulder straps of a 5-point harness of the car seat belt designed for infants.

Background: Early identification of non-fatal strangulation in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV) is crucial due to its severe physical and psychological consequences for the individual experiencing it. This study investigates the under-reported and underestimated burden of IPV-related non-fatal strangulation by analysing assault-related injuries leading to anoxia and neck injuries.
Methods: An IRB-exempt, retrospective review of prospectively collected data were performed using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All Injury Programme data from 2005 to 2019 for all assaults resulting in anoxia and neck injuries.

Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of JHS in a tertiary gastroenterology motility clinic and the spectrum of functional bowel disorders in JHS patients.
