- You have accessUnderstanding current guidelines for colorectal cancer screening: A case-based approachLaura K. Bianchi, MD and Carol A. Burke, MDCleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 441-448;
Fewer than half of the people in the United States who should be screened for colorectal cancer have actually been screened. But at the same time, many people who have low-risk findings on colonoscopy may be returning unnecessarily soon.

Reddy, MD, Marie M. Budev, DO, MPH and Peter J. Mazzone, MD, MPHCleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 458-461;
Yes. In selected patients, this therapy reduces the need for endotracheal intubation, the hospital length of stay, and the risk of death.

Meta-analysis is powerful but also controversial, because several conditions are critical to a sound meta-analysis, and small violations of those conditions can produce misleading results.

Abnormal hemodynamic responses to exercise may indicate an increased risk of coronary events and death, even without evidence of ischemia. Exercise duration and the blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rhythm responses to exercise have prognostic significance.

Vaccination against human papillomavirus prevents cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and genital warts and is likely cost-effective. Hepatitis A vaccine is as effective as hepatitis A immune globulin for postexposure prophylaxis against hepatitis A.

Be very careful about directly translating conclusions from meta-analyses into clinical practice.

These problems often occur in patients with Parkinson disease or those taking antipsychotic or antidepressant drugs when their regimen is started or changed. Elderly patients are particularly at risk.
