      How menopause affects oral health, and what we can do about it
      Maria Clarinda A. Buencamino, MD, Leena Palomo, DDS, MSD and Holly L. Thacker, MD, CDD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 467-475; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08095

      After menopause, women become more susceptible to periodontal disease. The problem may stem in large part from estrogen deficiency.

    1. Recurrent pyelonephritis as a sign of ‘sponge kidney’
      Hung-Yi Chu, MD, Ming-Tso Yan, MD and Shih-Hua Lin, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 479-480; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08110

      Intravenous urography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of medullary sponge kidney. Computed tomography and ultrasonography have limited ability to clearly show tubular ectasia.

    1. The new data on prostate cancer screening: What should we do now?
      Timothy Gilligan, MD, MS
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 446-448; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.09079

      Does screening have a benefit? We have new data, but do we have the answer?

  1. Hajjar, Victor

    1. Does measuring natriuretic peptides have a role in patients with chronic kidney disease?
      Victor Hajjar, MD and Martin J. Schreiber, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 476-478; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08065

      Measuring them can help diagnose decompensated heart failure and predict the risk of death and hospitalization, but whether it helps in chronic kidney disease is unclear.

    1. A 35-year-old Asian man with jaundice and markedly high aminotransferase levels
      Ibrahim A. Hanouneh, MD, Rami Khoriaty, MD and Nizar N. Zein, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 449-456; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08006

      The patient acquired hepatitis B virus at birth and was never treated for it. What is his present infection status?

  3. Klein, Eric A.

    1. What’s new in prostate cancer screening and prevention?
      Eric A. Klein, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 439-445; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.02009

      Two large trials of screening with prostate-specific antigen measurements came to seemingly opposite conclusions. Furthermore, a large trial of selenium and vitamin E found that neither has value in preventing prostate cancer.

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 457-466; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.09019

      To identify those at high risk of fracture, we can use the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool, or FRAX. Patients who are prescribed a drug must also be educated about how and why to take it.

      Hung-Yi Chu, MD, Ming-Tso Yan, MD and Shih-Hua Lin, MD

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 438; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm/76a.08001

      Given the widening spectrum of viral hepatitis types and clinical syndromes, prompt referral to and consultation with a hepatologist are in our patients’ best interests.
