Retrospective Chart Analysis of Concussion Discharge Instructions in the Emergency Department.

Background: Recognition and diagnosis of concussion is increasing, but current research shows these patients are discharged from the emergency department (ED) with a wide variability of recommendations and instructions.

Objective: To assess the adequacy of documentation of discharge instructions given to patients discharged from the ED with concussions.

Methods: This was a quality-improvement study conducted at a University-based Level I trauma center.

Medical termination of pregnancy in cynomolgus macaques.

Background: Although pregnancy is expected during studies of novel contraceptives in non-human primates, gestation, delivery, and lactation remove females from groups for prolonged intervals. As the macaque cervix does not facilitate transcervical surgical termination of pregnancy, we sought to establish a medical termination protocol.

Methods: A descriptive case series of outcomes of medical termination of pregnancy up to 32 days gestation in cynomolgus monkeys.
