Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome and Hypophosphatemia in Adolescents.

We report 3 adolescents with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and recurrent hypophosphatemia complicating their clinical course with potential for significant consequences. They serve as reminders for providers to consider the diagnosis of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and to monitor serum electrolytes closely in the setting of adolescent hyperemesis.

School Nurses on the Front Lines of Healthcare: Emergencies Associated With Sport and Physical Activities (Part 3): Shortness of Breath in a Pediatric Athlete During a Track Event.

Fracture Risk in Spaceflight and Potential Treatment Options.

Understanding the effects of microgravity on bone is essential, since humans are now considering long-distance spaceflight missions. It is well known that bone mineral density (BMD) decreases during long-duration spaceflight. While the risk of fracture in a microgravity environment is believed to be low, the potential risk for fracture increases upon re-entering a gravity environment.
