Why, and where, is commercial fishing gear lost? A global review and case study of Pacific Canada.

Derelict fishing gear is a global problem, damaging marine ecosystems via habitat degradation and trapping marine life, thereby impacting fisheries. We conducted a global review of reasons for commercial gear loss, and used the findings to design a survey focused on coastal British Columbia (BC), Canada. We conducted dockside and on-line surveys of commercial fishers to record their experiences with lost gear across net, line, and trap gear types.

Electronic Health Record Recording of Patient Pain: Challenges and Discrepancies.

Purpose Of Review: In the present review, various categories of pain, clinician-observed pain scales, and patient-reported pain scales are evaluated to better understand factors that impact patient pain perceptions. Additionally, the expansion of areas that require further research to determine the optimal way to evaluate pain scale data for treatment and management are discussed.

Recent Findings: Electronic health record (EHR) data provides a starting point for evaluating whether patient predictors influence postoperative pain.
