      The Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine’s new mission statement, “Dedicated to Lifelong Learning,” reflects our shift in focus to continuing education for physicians. The more functional new design uses typography and color to help readers find information quickly.

      Celina Cruz-Esteban, MD and Gary S. Hoffman, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 340-343;

      The postulated immunomodulating effects of high-dose IVIg therapy make it an attractive alternative to corticosteroids or cytotoxic agents, but cost is an important issue, especially when efficacy is uncertain.

E

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 325-330;

    1. Conscious sedation: what an internist needs to know

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 331-338;

      Early detection, coupled with rigorous glycemic control and aggressive hypertensive management may slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Dietary protein restriction may also have a role.

      Ralph I. Horwitz, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 320-323;
