A young man hospitalized because of a sickle cell crisis requires a central venous line. However, after the catheter is inserted, an initial chest radiograph reveals that the tip may not be in the right place. What should be done?

Whether carotid stenting has any advantage over carotid surgery and which patients should undergo it are still topics of study and debate.

Although no guidelines to date recommend the widespread use of these markers in clinical practice, we believe they will eventually be accepted.

- You have accessAn update on proteinuric chronic kidney disease: The dual-goal approachSheldon Hirsch, MDCleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 2008, 75 (10) 705-713;
To slow the progression of proteinuric chronic kidney disease, we may need to set goals for lowering both blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion, using drugs that block the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system at multiple sites or in higher doses. However, this dual-goal approach needs to be validated prospectively.

Even though more people died in the intensive-treatment group than in the standard-treatment group, the results from this trial should not substantially alter our usual approach to glucose-lowering.

As we get heavier, our livers get fattier. Despite an explosion of research on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and gains in understanding its epidemiology and pathogenesis, a number of issues remain unresolved, including how to treat it.

Markers tell us the risk of fracture and are useful in patient management. But will insurance pay for testing?

In the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial, why did more patients die if they got intensive therapy than if they got standard therapy? In this issue of the Journal, an investigator in this trial gives his analysis.
