Table of Contents

From the Editor

  • You have access
    Vertebroplasty, evidence, and health care reform: What is quality care?
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 497-502; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm/76a.09001

    Two recent trials found that a popular procedure for fixing vertebral fractures lacks efficacy. Like it or not, in the future, such evidence is going to affect whether insurers pay for care.

Editorial

  • You have access
    Should catheter ablation be the first line of treatment for atrial fibrillation?
    Bruce D. Lindsay, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 503-506; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.09070

    Antiarrhythmic drugs should remain the first line of treatment until trials prove otherwise.

Review

  • You have access
    Influenza in long-term care facilities: Preventable, detectable, treatable
    Sherif B. Mossad, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 513-521; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.09022

    Vaccination is the most important preventive measure. Early detection, infection control measures, prompt treatment, and preventive treatment of contacts can also help curtail an outbreak.

  • You have access
    Role of MRI in breast cancer management
    Louie Enriquez, MD and Jay Listinsky, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 525-532; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.06043

    MRI might be indicated for workup of possible breast cancer, but not for screening except in women at high risk.

Current Drug Therapy

  • You have access
    Beta-blockers for hypertension: Are they going out of style?
    Qi Che, MD, PhD, Martin J. Schreiber, MD and Mohammed A. Rafey, MD, MS
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 533-542; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.09030

    The outcomes of clinical trials have been disappointing, and the value of beta-blockers in treating hypertensive patients who do not have compelling indications for them has been questioned.

Review

  • You have access
    Ablation of atrial fibrillation: What can we tell our patients?
    Punam Chowdhury, MD, William R. Lewis, MD, Robert A. Schweikert, MD and Jennifer E. Cummings, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 543-550; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08091

    More patients are asking their physicians about radiofrequency ablation. Although it has shown promising clinical results, some patients may have unrealistic expectations.

Departments

  • You have access
    Diabetic ketoacidosis (July 2009)
    Ian Jenkins, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 507; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm/76c/090001

    A reader comments on the need to avoid unnecessary testing in medicine, as illustrated in an article about a man with uncontrolled diabetes (July 2009).

  • You have access
    In reply: Diabetic ketoacidosis (July 2009)
    J. Harry isaacson, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 507; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm/76c/090002
