From the Editor

  • You have access
    Insurance, risk, and genomics
    John D. Clough, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 6;

    Genomics is an area where knowledge of what we can do has preceded a clear understanding of what we should do.

Editorial

  • You have access
    Genetic testing and health insurance: Can they coexist?
    Nancy L. Fisher, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 8;

    Many people are ambivalent about genetic testing, but the issues are fundamentally the same with any test, including a low-tech history and physical examination.

Commentary

  • You have access
    Genetic discrimination arising from cancer risk assessments: A societal dilemma
    Maurie Markman, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 12;

    The right to privacy of one’s most intimate biological secrets must be affirmed.

Review

  • You have access
    New fibrinolytic agents for MI: As effective as current agents, but easier to administer
    Keith Ellis, MD and Sorin Brener, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 20-37;

    Ease of administration is important. Many patients who might be candidates for fibrinolytic therapy are not getting it, and the complicated regimens of the current drugs may partly account for their underuse.

1-Minute Consult

  • You have access
    Should nursing home residents with atrial fibrillation be anticoagulated?
    Ahmed Abdel Latif, MD and Barbara J. Messinger-Rapport, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 40-44;

    Anticoagulation is underused in long-term care patients with atrial fibrillation; most would benefit.

Review

  • Whole-body CT screening for cancer and coronary disease: Does it pass the test?
    You have access
    Whole-body CT screening for cancer and coronary disease: Does it pass the test?
    Michael T. Modic, MD and Nancy Obuchowski, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 47-56;

    Computed tomography (CT) is not an ideal screening tool, but neither is any other test. Since CT screening is already in use, we should set standards for it, based on scientific criteria.

  • You have access
    How to use statins in patients with chronic liver disease
    Mark W. Russo, MD and Ira M. Jacobson, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 58-62;

    Statin-induced liver disease is uncommon, and there is little evidence to suggest that it is more likely in patients with chronic liver disease.

  • You have access
    The preoperative evaluation: Use the history and physical rather than routine testing
    Franklin A. Michota, MD and Shaun D. Frost, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine January 2004, 71 (1) 63-70;

    The cornerstone of the preoperative evaluation is a thorough history and physical examination, not routine laboratory testing.
