INTRODUCTION
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Two main diagnostic criteria are used for PCOS: the Rotterdam and Androgen Excess Society (AES) criteria. Depending on which criteria is used, the diagnosis of PCOS may change. Therefore, our study investigates the discrepancies in the diagnosis of PCOS when using the Rotterdam versus the AES scale in the Beaumont Health System. This is clinically significant because a PCOS diagnosis should not be made lightly as it can come with many lifelong social, emotional, and medical implications.

Due to a rise in cesarean sections since the 1970s, the American College of Gynecology has acted to reduce unnecessary cesarean deliveries. In 2017, ACOG released clinical management guidelines for vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC), including a nomogram to predict VBAC success. This nomogram, developed by Grobman et al. (2007), explored factors impacting VBAC success for delivery at term for a singleton pregnancy. While the presence of diabetes was evaluated in the study, it was not found to be a significant factor in predicting outcome. This study will take a more detailed look at if pre-existing diabetes impacts a …

INTRODUCTION
Since the widespread adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs), medical scribes have been increasingly utilized in emergency department (ED) settings to offload the documentation burden of emergency physicians (EPs). Scribes have been shown to increase EP productivity and satisfaction; however, little is known about their effects on the EP’s diagnostic process. We aimed to assess what effect, if any, scribes have on EP diagnostic test ordering and their documentation of differential diagnoses.

INTRODUCTION
High frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) is a novel immobilization technique that utilizes high frequency low tidal volume ventilation to produce endotracheal percussion. In a previous departmental study of chest wall motion immobilization, it was found that volunteers were able to tolerate HFPV for varying lengths of time – from a few to tens of minutes. By investigating a novel process to immobilize the chest wall, and thus thoracic tumors, it can allow for more localized radiation delivery and reduction of healthy tissue irradiation.

INTRODUCTION
The current study will explore the relationships between motor imitation (MI) and verbal requesting skills in children who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With nearly half of children with ASD evidencing minimal verbal skills, supporting language development is crucial in interventions. Early, intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) is recommended to help children achieve better developmental outcomes. Functional language training often begins with the verbal requesting skill, MAND. Research suggests that a series of rapid motor imitations before a vocal model could facilitate vocal speech, but little is known about how MI can longitudinally influence functional language development. This …

INTRODUCTION
Sleep disturbance of any nature is reported in more than half of all mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients. The pathophysiology of sleep disturbance following an mTBI is associated with structural and functional disruptions of sleep circuitry and circadian rhythm. Specifically, in the pediatric population, untreated sleep disturbance has been shown to delay mTBI recovery and compound other morbidities including neurocognitive dysfunction. It was our goal to further analyze the impact sleep disturbance has on neurocognitive function in children recovering from an mTBI.

INTRODUCTION
Neck pain commonly occurs during the fifth or sixth decade of life due to degenerative changes in the spine. With increased usage of digital technology from a very young age we hypothesized an earlier age of onset of these degenerative changes. There have been no recent epidemiologic studies that investigated difference in radiological changes seen in older versus younger patients presenting with neck pain. Hence, this study is undertaken to analyze the variability in radiological changes seen in the cervical vertebrae between older (>50) versus younger (≤50) patients presenting with the chief complaint of neck pain.

INTRODUCTION
Current guidelines recommend deferring prognostic decisions for at least 72 hours following admission after Out of Hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Most non-survivors experience withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST), and early WLST may adversely impact survival. We sought to characterize the hospital length of stay (LOS) and timing of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders (as surrogates for WLST) to assess their relationship to survival following cardiac arrest.
