From the Editor

  • You have access
    The Journal, the Internet, and you
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 784;

1-Minute Consult

  • You have access
    When should prophylactic anticoagulation begin after a hip fracture?
    Paul J. Grant, md and Amir K. Jaffer, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 785-792;

    The short answer is immediately, but several issues need consideration before starting.

Review

  • You have access
    Migraine prophylaxis: Who, why, and how
    Jadwiga Loj, MD and Glen D. Solomon, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 793-816;

    If a patient has frequent, severely debilitating migraine headaches, prophylactic treatment may help. But only about half of patients obtain a 50% or greater reduction in attacks.

Current Drug Therapy

  • Is digoxin a drug of the past?
    You have access
    Is digoxin a drug of the past?
    Mohammad Hassan Pervaiz, MD, Michael G. Dickinson, MD and Mohamad Yamani, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 821-834;

    This old drug is still useful, with some caveats. It is no longer the cornerstone of heart-failure treatment, but it can be beneficial as an adjunct. Serum levels should probably be kept lower than in the past.

Review

  • You have access
    Tending to the musculoskeletal problems of obesity
    Michele M. Hooper, MD, MS
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 839-845;

    Obese patients often hear that any ache or pain they have is due to their excess weight and will resolve with weight loss. The truth is more subtle, but weight loss can make a substantial difference.

Current Drug Therapy

  • You have access
    Newer antibiotics for serious gram-positive infections
    Thomas G. Fraser, MD, Christine Hansen, PharmD and Jennifer K. Long, PharmD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 847-853;

    We use two case scenarios to discuss when and how to use these agents and how to monitor and respond to their adverse effects.

Imaging in Practice

  • You have access
    Imaging’s roles in acute pancreatitis
    Brian R. Herts, MD, David M. Einstein, MD, Tina Bolek, MD, Mark E. Baker, MD and R. Matthew Walsh, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 857-862;

    A 50-year-old man presents with severe upper-abdominal pain radiating to the back with nausea and vomiting. His serum amylase and lipase levels are markedly elevated. Should he have any imaging tests, and if so, which ones?

Medical Grand Rounds

  • You have access
    A Perspective on the Women’s Health Study
    Julie E. Buring, ScD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2006, 73 (9) 863-870;

    This 10-year trial found that aspirin prevented stroke but not myocardial infarction in women. Vitamin E had no effect.
