    And then there were none? An internist’s reflections
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 616;

    In this issue, Dr. Thomas Lansdale eloquently expresses a common theme: medicine just isn’t that much fun anymore. We’d like to hear some solutions.

Commentary

  • You have access
    A medical center is not a hospital
    Thomas Franklin Lansdale, MD

    Eosinophilic esophagitis: An increasingly recognized cause of dysphagia, food impaction, and refractory heartburn
    Ilche T. Nonevski, MD, MBA, Erinn Downs-Kelly, DO and Gary W. Falk, MD, MS
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 623-633;

    This disease, which was not described as a distinct clinical entity until 1993, may be due to allergic and immune-mediated mechanisms similar to those of asthma and other atopic diseases.

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    A 51-year-old man with nodular lesions
    Soumya Chatterjee, MD, MS, FRCP
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 638-640;

    He presents with a 1-year history of episodic pain, swelling, and stiffness in some of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints of his fingers. What is the most likely diagnosis?

Review

  • You have access
    New asthma guidelines emphasize control, regular monitoring
    David M. Lang, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 641-653;

    The goal of asthma therapy is to achieve control, thereby reducing current impairment and future risk. Asthma control can be assessed serially by using validated instruments.

Current Drug Therapy

  • You have access
    Perioperative statins: More than lipid-lowering?
    Leonard S. Feldman, MD and Daniel J. Brotman, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 654-662;

    Soon, the checklist for internists seeing patients about to undergo surgery may include prescribing one of the lipid-lowering drugs called statins.

Review

  • You have access
    What is the proper workup of a patient with hypertension?
    Radhika Katakam, MD, Kirsten Brukamp, MD and Raymond R. Townsend, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 663-672;

    If we were to launch an intensive workup for every patient with high blood pressure, the cost and effort would be enormous. Fortunately, accurate blood pressure measurement, a focused history and physical examination, and a handful of basic tests are often enough.

Im Board Review

  • You have access
    A case of refractory diarrhea
    Jennifer Monti, BA, J. Harry Isaacson, MD and Bret Lashner, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 677-680;
