    Daniel J. Brotman, MD and Amir Jaffer, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 2002, 69 (11) 832-837;

    The risk is real but small; only those already at increased risk of venous thromboembolism need to be concerned.

Interpreting Key Trials

    Pelin Batur, MD, Holly L. Thacker, MD, FACP and Halle C.F. Moore, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 2002, 69 (11) 838-848;

    Although the Women’s Health Initiative showed an increased risk of breast cancer, the absolute risk is very low.

    George L. Blackburn, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 2002, 69 (11) 864-866;

    Lack of long-term data on very-low-carbohydrate diets makes their medically unsupervised use very troubling.

    Ramesh Mazhari, MD and Paul L. Kimmel, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 2002, 69 (11) 870-884;

    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 2002, 69 (11) 897-903;

    Bariatric surgery can take weight off and keep it off, but it is not for everyone. Chances are, you will see more patients who want it or have had it.
