From the Editor

    Surrogate markers are not ‘one-size-fits-all’
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 416;

    Blood glucose is a good marker of diabetes. Not so with bone density as a marker of osteoporosis.

Review

  • You have access
    ERCP: Current uses and less-invasive options
    John A. Dumot, DO
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 418-442;

    Because ERCP can cause pancreatitis, newer options have replaced it for patients who have a low pretest probability of bile duct stones.

  • You have access
    When do common symptoms indicate normal pressure hydrocephalus?
    Ronan Factora, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 447-457;

    The symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus—abnormal gait, cognitive impairment, and urinary dysfunction—are common in elderly patients. How can this rare condition be distinguished from other diseases, and how can it be determined if a patient is likely to benefit from a ventriculoperitoneal shunt?

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    A tropical souvenir not worth picking up
    Sastry Prayaga, MD and Giri B. Mannepuli, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 458-459;

Review

    You have access
    Heel pain: Diagnosis and treatment, step by step
    José Alvarez-Nemegyei, MD, MSc and Juan J. Canoso, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 465-471;

    The differential diagnosis of heel pain is broad and can be overwhelming if a systematic approach is not used.

Medical Grand Rounds

  • You have access
    Diagnosing primary osteoporosis: It’s more than a T score
    Angelo A. Licata, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 473-476;

    In the end, the physician—not the machine—diagnoses osteoporosis.

Current Drug Therapy

  • You have access
    Exenatide and pramlintide: New glucose-lowering agents for treating diabetes mellitus
    Byron J. Hoogwerf, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 477-484;

    Insulin is not the only hormone that regulates plasma glucose levels. Two new drugs based on native hormones became available in 2005.

Review

    Primary hyperparathyroidism (December 2005)
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine May 2006, 73 (5) 484;

    Addressing the challenges of cardiorenal syndrome
    Carrie Geisberg, MD and Javed Butler, MD, MPH
