    1. What internists need to know about postpolio syndrome
      What internists need to know about postpolio syndrome
      Julie K. Silver, MD and Dorothy D. Aiello, PT
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 704-711;

      Polio may be eradicated soon, but at least 1 million polio survivors in the United States are at risk of developing postpolio syndrome.

  2. Asher, Craig R.

    1. The ACUTE Trial
      Craig R. Asher, MD and Allan L. Klein, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 713-718;

      A TEE-guided approach showed no advantage over conventional management in rates of embolic events, but shortened the anticoagulation course, allowed for earlier cardioversion, and caused fewer bleeding events.

  1. Carman, Teresa L.

    1. Advances in diagnosing and excluding pulmonary embolism: Spiral CT and D-dimer measurement
      Teresa L. Carman, MD and Steven R. Deitcher, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 721-729;

      No test is 100% sensitive and specific for pulmonary embolism. The best approach still depends on the pretest probability and, thus, on clinical judgment.

  2. Clough, John D.

    1. Follow the evidence—but don’t expect a straight path
      John D. Clough, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 663;

      The newest data on hormone replacement therapy remind us that evidence-based practice is not cookbook medicine.

  1. Furlan, Anthony J.

    1. Acute stroke therapy: Beyond IV tPA
      Anthony J. Furlan, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 730-734;

      The quest to improve treatment includes intra-arterial infusion of thrombolytics, mechanical interventions, and neuroprotection through hypothermia.

  1. Griffin, Brian

    1. Choosing the most appropriate valve operation and prosthesis
      Maran Thamilarasan, MD and Brian Griffin, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 688-703;

      Should the valve be repaired or replaced? And if replaced, which prosthesis is best?

  1. Jawde, Rony Abou

    1. Is there a relationship between hypertension and cognitive function in older adults?
      Is there a relationship between hypertension and cognitive function in older adults?
      Rony Abou Jawde, MD and Barbara J. Messinger-Rapport, MD, PhD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 664-669;

      Yes, and there is some evidence that treating hypertension protects against cognitive decline later in life.

  2. Johnson, Susan R.

    1. Hormone replacement therapy: Applying the results of the Women’s Health Initiative
      Susan R. Johnson, MD, MS
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 682-685;

      The ground rules have changed for prescribing hormone replacement therapy. Here are one expert’s recommendations.

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 713-718;

      A TEE-guided approach showed no advantage over conventional management in rates of embolic events, but shortened the anticoagulation course, allowed for earlier cardioversion, and caused fewer bleeding events.

  1. Mandell, Brian F.

    1. The crystal, the gout, and the paradox
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 720;

      We think we know what causes gout, but things may not be so simple.

      Holly L. Thacker, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2002, 69 (9) 670-678;

      Unfortunately, many women who might benefit from hormone replacement may decide to forgo it.
