Table of Contents

April 01, 2008; Volume 75,Issue 4

From the Editor

  • You have access
    A new series, an old concept, continued value
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 257;

    This month we introduce a new series, The Physical Examination, kicked off by a paper on evaluating pleural effusions. We encourage you to submit your suggestions for topics.

Review

  • You have access
    Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage: Diagnosing it and finding the cause
    Octavian C. Ioachimescu, MD and James K. Stoller, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 258-280;

    Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage can complicate a large number of clinical conditions. It may present in different ways and may be life-threatening, and it poses an important challenge for the clinician.

Im Board Review

  • You have access
    A 61-year-old with bipolar disorder and cognitive impairment: Dementia or polypharmacy?
    Mamta Bhatnagar, MD and Robert Palmer, MD, MPH
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 284-288;

    He reports poor concentration, using wrong words, forgetting names, and sleepiness. What is the cause?

Interpreting Key Trials

  • You have access
    Interpreting the Charisma Study
    Mihir R. Bakhru, MD and Deepak L. Bhatt, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 289-295;

    In patients at risk of myocardial infarction or stroke, two antiplatelet drugs are not always better than one.

The Physical Examination

  • Accuracy of the physical examination in evaluating pleural effusion
    You have access
    Accuracy of the physical examination in evaluating pleural effusion
    Enrique Diaz-Guzman, MD and Marie M. Budev, DO, MPH
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 297-303;

    A careful physical examination is a valuable and noninvasive means of assessing pleural effusions and should be routinely performed in every patient in whom this condition is suspected.

Current Drug Therapy

  • You have access
    What role will ‘gliptins’ play in glycemic control?
    Zachary Bloomgarden, MD and Andrew Drexler, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 305-310;

    Sitagliptin (Januvia) is now available, vildagliptin (Galvus) is awaiting approval, and other “gliptins” are under development. Their greatest appeal appears to be their ability to stimulate insulin production with little risk of hypoglyecmia.

Review

  • You have access
    A review of spinal arachnoid cysts
    Gwyneth Hughes, MD, Kene Ugokwe, MD and Edward C. Benzel, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 311-315;

    The symptoms of spinal arachnoid cysts are variable and nonspecific, so these cysts are commonly misdiagnosed as herniated disks. Many are discovered incidentally.

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    Dropped gallstones disguised as a liver abscess
    Syed Kashif Mahmood, MD, J. Walton Tomford, MD, Steven Rosenblatt, MD and Steven Gordon, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine April 2008, 75 (4) 316-318;

    The patient, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy 3 months ago, now has abdominal pain and a spot on computed tomography that could be a liver abscess. But is it?

    Correction to Kim A, Keys T. Infective endocarditis prophylaxis before dental procedures: new guidelines spark controversy. Cleve Clin J Med 2008; 75:89–92.
