From the Editor

  • You have access
    The urge to know: What does iron have to do with infection?
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 144; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78b.11003

    Why might iron supplementation be harmful in the setting of infection?

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    Genital lesions and acute urinary retention
    Nezam AlTorok, MD, Ahmad Abugiazia, MD, Nehaya Abu Shanab, MD and Anita Conway, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 151-152; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78a.10071

    A 36-year-old patient has not voided in 48 hours. Catheterization yields 1,250 mL. What is the next step?

Review

  • You have access
    Can a bowel preparation exacerbate heart failure?
    Kalindi Parikh, MD and Howard Weitz, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 157-160; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.77a.10025

    A 73-year-old man with a history of heart failure develops shortness of breath after consuming about 1 L of a polyethylene glycol solution in preparation for colonoscopy the next day.

The Clinical Picture

  • You have access
    A 40-year-old woman with excoriated skin lesions
    M. Chadi Alraies, MD, Emily Keller, MD, Khaldoon Shaheen, MD and Abdul Hamid Alraiyes, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 161-163; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78a.10042

    The lesions have been present for many years; a few show signs of recent bleeding. What is the diagnosis?

1-Minute Consult

  • You have access
    Is iron therapy for anemia harmful in the setting of infection?
    Ehab Daoud, MD, Engi Nakhla, PharmD and Reecha Sharma, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 168-170; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78a.10156

    The harmful effects are more theoretical than observed. On the other hand, there are also no convincing data to support the benefit of this therapy.

Im Board Review

  • You have access
    Recurrent abdominal pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy
    Carole Macaron, MD, Mohammed A. Qadeer, MD, MPH and John J. Vargo, MD, MPH
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 171-178; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.77a.09171

    Four months after gallbladder surgery, her pain is back. Why?

Current Drug Therapy

  • You have access
    Dronedarone for atrial fibrillation: How does it compare with amiodarone?
    Neelima Penugonda, MD, Adam Mohmand-Borkowski, MD and James F. Burke, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 179-185; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78a.10049

    Dronedarone’s precise role is yet to be defined, but if it is as well tolerated as hoped, it may help clinicians pursue a rhythm control strategy more often.

Editorial

  • You have access
    The estimated glomerular filtration rate as a test for chronic kidney disease: Problems and solutions
    Andrew D. Rule, MD and John C. Lieske, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 186-188; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78a.11004

    Creatinine-based testing is not perfect. Perhaps a two-step approach would be better.

Review

  • Interpreting the estimated glomerular filtration rate in primary care: Benefits and pitfalls
    You have access
    Interpreting the estimated glomerular filtration rate in primary care: Benefits and pitfalls
    James Simon, MD, Milen Amde, MD and Emilio D. Poggio, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 189-195; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78a.10057

    Many laboratories are now reporting the glomerular filtration rate automatically, and primary care providers are left trying to interpret the results.

Cancer Diagnosis and Management

  • You have access
    Malignant bowel obstruction: Individualized treatment near the end of life
    Aileen Soriano, MD and Mellar P. Davis, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 197-206; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78a.10052

    Surgery should not be routinely done. Less-invasive approaches such as gastric and colonic stenting are useful.

    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine March 2011, 78 (3) 145; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.78c.03001
