We describe an atypical pediatric case of immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), also referred to as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, in which formation of spontaneous hematoma of the paraspinal muscles developed. Spontaneous or unprovoked hematomas rarely occur in IgAV. These manifestations have not been described specifically in the pediatric literature as coinciding with IgAV. These findings are alarming for nonaccidental trauma, particularly in a patient without underlying blood dyscrasia. Our objective for this report is to highlight the possible association of muscular hematoma formation with IgAV and to help providers consider this association when trauma and hemophilia has been ruled out.

Microsoft and Sony are both hard at working preparing their next generation consoles, the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, for launch this holiday season. 

A key factor in getting as many consoles shipped for both companies will be from AMD, who will be providing the latest Zen 2-powered CPU and matching Navi GPU.

AMD is ramping up production as they expect semi-custom revenue to grow in the second quarter and have a big increase in the second half of 2020 as they provide parts for the Xbox Series X and PS5. 

"We expect semi-custom revenue to increase in the second quarter and be heavily weighted towards the second-half of the year, as we ramp production to support the holiday launches of the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles," said AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su.
