Pyelonephritis is a commonly treated diagnosis in the emergency department. With resistance rates climbing to the first-line recommended fluoroquinolones and Bactrim, are other antibiotics appropriate in treating pyelonephritis? Join Dr Gabor as she discusses this article and its treatment recommendations for outpatient pyelonephritis with cephalosporins and how it compares to treatment with the more traditional fluoroquinolones / bactrim route.

Is Your Head Spinning? The Sudbury Vertigo Risk Score
There is a wide variation in practice, particularly in obtaining neuro-imaging in patients presenting with vertigo.

The authors of this study set out to create a risk score to apply to patients who present to the ED with vertigo which would identify the patients at risk for serious pathology (which they defined as stroke, TIA, vertebral artery dissection, or brain tumor).
