From the Editor

  • You have access
    Meta-analyses, metaphysics, and reality
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 400;

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

Medical Grand Rounds

  • You have access
    Update on infectious disease prevention: Human papillomavirus, hepatitis A
    David L. Longworth, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 402-410;

    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.

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    A woman with ulcerating, painful skin lesions
    Melissa P. Piliang, MD and James K. Stoller, MD, MS
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 414-422;

    She has previously enjoyed good health, has no personal or family history of liver, pancreatic, renal, or lung disease, and is taking no medications. What is the diagnosis?

Choosing the Right Coronary Test

  • You have access
    The exercise treadmill test: Estimating cardiovascular prognosis
    Todd D. Miller, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 424-430;

    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.

Review

  • You have access
    Meta-analysis: Its strengths and limitations
    Esteban Walker, PhD, Adrian V. Hernandez, MD, PhD and Michael W. Kattan, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 431-439;

    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.

  • You have access
    Understanding current guidelines for colorectal cancer screening: A case-based approach
    Laura K. Bianchi, MD and Carol A. Burke, MD
    Cleveland 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.

  • You have access
    Movement disorder emergencies in the elderly: Recognizing and treating an often-iatrogenic problem
    Babak Tousi, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2008, 75 (6) 449-457;

    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.

1-Minute Consult

  • Does noninvasive positive pressure ventilation have a role in managing hypercapnic respiratory failure due to an acute exacerbation of COPD?

    Does noninvasive positive pressure ventilation have a role in managing hypercapnic respiratory failure due to an acute exacerbation of COPD?
    Ari J. Gershman, DO, Anita J. Reddy, MD, Marie M. Budev, DO, MPH and Peter J. Mazzone, MD, MPH
    Cleveland 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.
