In patients at risk of myocardial infarction or stroke, two antiplatelet drugs are not always better than one.

The symptoms of spinal arachnoid cysts are variable and nonspecific, so these cysts are commonly misdiagnosed as herniated disks. Many are discovered incidentally.

Sitagliptin (Januvia) is now available, vildagliptin (Galvus) is awaiting approval, and other “gliptins” are under development. Their greatest appeal appears to be their ability to stimulate insulin production with little risk of hypoglyecmia.

A careful physical examination is a valuable and noninvasive means of assessing pleural effusions and should be routinely performed in every patient in whom this condition is suspected.

The patient, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy 3 months ago, now has abdominal pain and a spot on computed tomography that could be a liver abscess. But is it?

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage can complicate a large number of clinical conditions. It may present in different ways and may be life-threatening, and it poses an important challenge for the clinician.
