  • You have access
    Bone quality: A soft concept, hard to ignore
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2009, 76 (6) 328; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.06001

    How can we better predict who, given a low T score, will have a fractured hip or spine and who will not?

Review

    Bone density vs bone quality: What’s a clinician to do?
    Angelo Licata, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2009, 76 (6) 331-336; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08041

    Denser bone is not necessarily stronger. The concept of bone strength has moved beyond density alone and now includes a number of characteristics collectively referred to as bone quality.

    The health care system is mobilizing, while the world watches to see if this infection will become a pandemic or will just fade away, like the swine flu outbreak of 1976.

    William S. Wilke, MD

    He has multiple medical problems and a new rash that appeared 2 weeks ago. Now he presents to the emergency department confused and diaphoretic. What is the cause of his symptoms?

    Shannon Harrison, MBBS, MMed and Wilma Bergfeld, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2009, 76 (6) 361-367; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08080

    Triggers include a wide variety of physical or emotional stresses, nutritional deficiencies, and endocrine imbalances. Finding the cause enables appropriate treatment.

    Is telemetry overused? Is it as helpful as thought?
    Marshaleen N. Henriques-Forsythe, MD, Chinedu C. Ivonye, MD, Uma Jamched, MD, Lois Kemilembe K. Kamuguisha, MD, Kelechukwu A. Olejeme, MD, MPH and Anekwe E. Onwuanyi, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2009, 76 (6) 368-372; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.07260

    Cardiac telemetry is widely used in hospitals, but it is expensive and labor-intensive. Therefore, it should be used only in those most likely to benefit.
