  1. Awad, Issam A.

    1. Gardner’s hydrodynamic theory of syringomyelia revisited
      Prem K. Pillay, MD, Issam A. Awad, MD, MSc and Joseph F. Hahn, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 373-380;

      How longitudinal, fluid-filled cavities form within the spinal cord has eluded researchers, though widely espoused theories have been put forth. The authors propose a unified theory based on recent MRI experience and on elements of other current theories.

  2. Beavis, Kathleen Gleason

    1. Pelvic retroperitoneal mass in a 36-year-old man
      Cathryn Powers, MD, Matthew G. Saltarelli, MD and Kathleen Gleason Beavis, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 429-433;

      The mass identified by CT extended into the pelvis and displaced the bladder, rectosigmoid colon, and rectum. Hydronephrosis with marked parenchymal loss of the left kidney indicated chronic obstruction of the left distal ureter.

  3. Becker, Richard C.

    1. Tools for noninvasive assessment of coronary arterial reperfusion
      Richard C. Becker, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 403-408;

      Coronary angiography has been the standard method to rapidly assess coronary reperfusion status after acute MI, but the availability, cost, and risks of the procedure are potential concerns. Noninvasive markers are showing promise as alternatives to angiography.

  4. Booher, Delbert L.

    1. When and Why to Consider Estrogen Therapy
      Delbert L. Booher, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 345-347;

      Estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women reduces the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Yet only 14% of postmenopausal women who could benefit from estrogen therapy are receiving it.

  5. Cannata, Ruth K.

    1. Circulating lipid and lipoprotein concentrations with oral estrogen-androgen hormone replacement therapy
      David D. Youngs, MD, Byron J. Hoogwerf, MD, Leslie R. Schover, PhD and Ruth K. Cannata, RN
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 357-358;

      A decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was observed in a group of postmenopausal women following oral estrogen-androgen therapy, suggesting that the potential benefits—sexual and psychological well-being— should be weighed against the potential cardiovascular risks associated with adverse lipid changes.

  6. Carey, William D.

    1. Viral hepatitis in the 1990s, part II: hepatitis B and delta virus
      William D. Carey, MD and Glrish Patel, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 393-401;

      Effective vaccines are available. High-risk groups have been identified. But widespread prevention of hepatitis B infection remains an elusive goal, and key questions need answers: What are the mechanisms of transmission, including mother-to-offspring transmission? What short - and long-term risks do health care professionals face?

  7. Chang, Douglas

    1. Benign intracranial hypertension and chronic renal failure
      Douglas Chang, MD, Gary Nagamoto, MD and William E. Smith, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 419-422;

      Chronic renal failure of unknown etiology is described in a patient with new-onset headache, papilledema, and intracranial pressures between 200 and 400 mm H2O.

  8. Corriere, Joseph N.

    1. Diagnosing Renal Trauma
      Joseph N. Corriere, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 354;

  9. Davison, Malcolm B.

    1. Doppler echocardiographic assessment of aortic regurgitation: uses and limitations
      Allan L. Klein, MD, Malcolm B. Davison, MBBS, Galen Vonk, MD and A. Jamil Tajik, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 359-368;

      The final determination of the severity of aortic regurgitation should involve a combination of the various Doppler techniques and the indices derived from them.

  10. Edelman, Elazer R.

    1. Diabetic ketoacidosis associated with pheochromocytoma
      Elazer R. Edelman, MD, PhD, Cynthia A. Stuenkel, MD, John D. Rutherford, MB, BCh and Gordon H. Williams, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine July 1992, 59 (4) 423-427;

      Diabetic ketoacidosis associated with classic findings of pheochromocytoma was seen in a young woman who also had a significant insulin requirement that resolved after excision of the tumor.
