From the Editor

  • You have access
    The internist, alphabet soup, and the hepatologist
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    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.

Medical Grand Rounds

  • You have access
    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.

Editorial

  • You have access
    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?

Im Board Review

  • You have access
    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?

    Managing osteoporosis: Challenges and strategies
    E. Michael Lewiecki, MD
    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.

Review

  • How menopause affects oral health, and what we can do about it
    You have access
    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-Minute Consult

  • You have access
    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.

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    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.

    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2009, 76 (8) 445;
