From the Editor

  • You have access
    Upgrades to our CME test and to www.ccjm.org
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD and Phillip E. Canuto
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 550;

    We recently upgraded our Web-based manuscript tracking system, and we are continuing to expand and improve our educational offerings to our readers.

Review

  • You have access
    Identifying serious causes of back pain: Cancer, infection, fracture
    Krzysztof Siemionow, MD, Michael Steinmetz, MD, Gordon Bell, MD, Hakan Ilaslan, MD and Robert F. McLain, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 557-566;

    Most patients with back pain have a benign condition, but tumors, infections, and fractures must be considered during an initial evaluation because overlooking them can have serious consequences.

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    Sudden hair loss associated with trachyonychia
    Sergio Vañó-Galván, MD, Sonsoles Aboín, MD, Sonio Beà-Ardebol, MD and Juan Luis Santiago Sánchez-Mateos, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 567-568;

    A 30-year-old woman has been having episodes of sudden hair loss in well-demarcated areas of her scalp for the past 6 months. What is the most likely diagnosis?

Review

  • You have access
    IgA nephropathy: Challenges and opportunities
    Richard J. Glassock, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 569-576;

    We now have a reasonably complete understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease, but its etiology remains mysterious, its therapy remains largely empiric, and its course remains hard to predict. Many opportunities exist for improvement.

  • You have access
    Take charge of your e-mail!
    Neil B. Mehta, MD, MS, Ashish Atreja, MD, MPH and Anil Jain, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 577-583;

    Although e-mail is supposed to help people save time, for many it has become a burden. You can fight e-mail overload by taking steps to decrease the amount of unwanted e-mail you receive and by managing your inbox in an organized manner.

Medical Grand Rounds

  • You have access
    Update in infectious disease treatment
    David L. Longworth, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 584-590;

    Important studies in infectious disease over the last year cover Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, the safety of cefepime, acute sinusitis, Bell palsy, antifungal prophylaxis in patients undergoing chemotherapy, and invasive candidiasis.

Review

  • Congenital long QT syndrome: Considerations for primary care physicians
    You have access
    Congenital long QT syndrome: Considerations for primary care physicians
    Ethan Levine, DO, Spencer Z. Rosero, MD, Adam S. Budzikowski, MD, PhD, Arthur J. Moss, MD, Wojciech Zareba, MD, PhD and James P. Daubert, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 591-600;

    We now know more about the genetic basis of different types of long QT syndrome and their clinical implications. In one type, patients can die suddenly during exercise, in another, during inactivity, and in a third, when startled, such as by an alarm clock. The right therapy can dramatically reduce the risk.

Imaging in Practice

  • You have access
    A 44-year-old man with hemoptysis: A review of pertinent imaging studies and radiographic interventions

    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2008, 75 (8) 601-607;

    What imaging tests would be helpful in this patient’s evaluation? We outline our approach.
