An understanding of the osmotic physiology and colligative properties of a solution will benefit the emergency physician in proper ordering and interpretation of serum osmolality measurements. Though of use in evaluating disorders of water metabolism, the serum osmolality plays a major role in the Emergency Department evaluation of impaired mental status, especially in alcoholics. A significant discrepancy between calculated and measured values may be the earliest laboratory finding in methanol, ethanol, and ethylene glycol ingestion.

A mailed questionnaire that can be batch-processed by computer can maintain the editing, formatting, summarizing, and data storage advantages of on-line systems at a lower expense. More than 40,000 patient questionnaires have been processed, and the questionnaire is a routine part of the clinic health care system. Data are given showing increasing physician acceptance and use of the questionnaire. Time savings per patient visit are noted. There are physician-oriented advantages as well as the multiple advantages to the patient when completing the questionnaire in the quiet of his own home.

thorax is sought carefully, this diagnosis may be missed on physical examination. In recent months, we have seen several patients with pneumothorax in whom complaints of chest pain and dyspnea, coupled with an abnormal electrocardiogram, raised the diagnostic possibility of myocardial infarction. We wish to draw attention to the ECG abnormalities associated with pneumothorax and to the useful sign of normalization of the ECG when the patient is in the sitting position.
