    Abstract The use of electronic nicotine delivery devices (ENDDs) has risen to an epidemic level among high schoolers and people aged 18-34. To our knowledge there are only 7 reported cases of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP-PTX) associated with vaping, and herein we describe 4 additional cases. We propose identifying this disease process as a novel entity, Vaping-Associated Spontaneous Pneumothorax (VASP). VASP requires early interventional treatment and has a high recurrence rate, and we suggest that vaping cessation and early interventional treatment including tube thoracostomy and surgical treatment is necessary in most cases to prevent recurrences.

    Abstract Most neurosurgical emergencies involve management of intracranial pressure, decompression of brain parenchyma, or diversion of cerebrospinal fluid. These interventions aim to prevent progression and reverse damage to neural structures. The pathologies that require emergent treatment either develop acutely or may progress over days until they reach a critical point causing decompensation. The risk of any intervention need to be weighed against potential benefits and should involve discussions with the family. Interventions have shown to be effective and facilitate patients' return to improved functionality. However, while neurosurgical interventions are lifesaving, surviving patients may have a severe residual disability. This article presents an overview of commonly seen nontraumatic neurosurgical emergencies. Each section presents key facets of presentation, initial workup, management, and role of surgical intervention.

    Abstract Klein-Levin Syndrome (KLS) is an extremely rare neurological disorder which can manifest as recurring spells of sleepiness, cognitive disturbances and behavioral changes. We present a novel case of KLS relapse in the setting of Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). A 36-year-old male who had a known history of KLS since adolescence was admitted with sleepiness and behavioral disturbances. Brain imaging and autoimmune encephalitis work was unremarkable. The patient was diagnosed with a relapse of KLS secondary to COVID-19 based on symptomology and lack of any other precipitating factor. The patient required 8 days of hospitalization and was treated with benzodiazepines due to a history of robust response to lorazepam during a prior episode. The patient progressively improved and was discharged home on lorazepam taper. We report that similar to other neurotropic viruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) could be the culprit in instigating KLS relapse.

    Abstract Surgical emergencies are common in the critical care setting and require prompt diagnosis and management. Here, we discuss some of the surgical emergencies involving the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and genitourinary sites. In addition, foreign body aspiration and necrotizing soft-tissue infections have been elaborated. Clinicians should be aware of the risk factors, keys examination findings, diagnostic modalities, and medical as well as surgical treatment options for these potentially fatal illnesses.

    Abstract Background: Focal liver lesions have a broad differential diagnosis. MRI with its improved soft tissue characterization and newer sequences can significantly narrow the differentials especially when discriminating benign from malignant lesions. Methods: T1, T1 IN AND OUT OF PHASE, T2, LONG TE T2 AND Diffusion Weighted Imaging was done in 159 patients with USG documented focal liver lesion. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of ADC values and long TE images was done and a threshold for differentiating benign from malignant lesions was obtained. The MRI diagnosis was compared with final diagnosis obtained from histopathology in most cases or follow up and other tests (markers and RBC scan) were histopathology was not available. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRI sequences in differentiating various focal lesions were obtained. Results: T1 weighted images were useful for identifying fat, hemorrhage and iron within the lesions. T2 weighted imaging was able to correctly classify 82.0% lesions as malignant and 83.7% lesions as benign. Long TE T2 images were highly accurate in distinguishing haemangiomas and cysts from solid lesions. On diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging, 89.5% (i.e. 60 out of 67) lesions were correctly classified as malignant and 88.0% (i.e. 81 out of 92) lesions were correctly classified as benign. Threshold ADC value of 1.37 × 10-3 mm2/s is highly accurate for differentiating malignant from benign lesions. Conclusion: DWI is a sine qua non in liver lesion assessment allowing improved detection and characterization. Long TE T2 weighted imaging can accurately detect haemangiomas and cysts and rule out metastasis.

    Abstract Pediatric cerebral hemiatrophy is a rare entity with widespread etiology. Imaging in form of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is helpful in differentiating between the etiologies of hemiatrophy. We describe imaging findings in three different cases of hemiatrophy due to Sturge-Weber syndrome, Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome, and Rasmussen encephalitis.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) remains a serious issue for global health, given widespread infectivity and a high contagion rate. A tremendous amount of data has been generated since it was first identified in December 2019. It is vital to keep up with these data from across the world at a time of uncertainty and continuously evolving guidelines and clinical practice. This review provides an update on recent developments concerning epidemiology, clinical presentation, treatment options, and scientific advancements to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
