    1. 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.

    1. 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.

      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.

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 677-680;

      David M. Lang, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2008, 75 (9) 641-653;

      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.
