From the Editor

  • You have access
    It is not a ‘mini’-stroke, it is a call to action
    Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2013, 80 (9) 538; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.80b.09013

    Although patients may call transient ischemic attacks “mini-strokes,” there is nothing mini about their significance.

Commentary

  • You have access
    Azithromycin and risk of sudden cardiac death: Guilty as charged or falsely accused?
    John R. Giudicessi, BA and Michael J. Ackerman, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2013, 80 (9) 539-544; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.80a.13077

    We need not abandon this drug, but we should see if our patients have risk factors, and take precautions.

1-Minute Consult

  • You have access
    Which lower-extremity DVTs should be removed early?
    Samir K. Shah, MD and Daniel G. Clair, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2013, 80 (9) 546-547; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.80a.12147

    This controversial therapy is best considered in cases of proximal deep vein thrombosis in younger patients.

The Clinical Picture

    Chronic itch on the upper back, with pain
    Sergio Vañó-Galván, MD, PhD, Emiliano Grillo, MD, Mayte Truchuelo, MD and Pedro Jaén, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2013, 80 (9) 550-552; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.80a.12135

    An otherwise healthy man has had itchy, grayish-brown patches on his back for 2 years, characteristic of notalgia paresthetica.

  • You have access
    Fever, dyspnea, and a new heart murmur
    Gregory Jackson, MD, Christian Camargo, MD, Lee Fong Ling, MBBS, MMed, Vidyasagar Kalahasti, MD and Curtis M. Rimmerman, MD, MBA
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2013, 80 (9) 559-561; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.80a.12049

    In cases of recurrent persistent fever and a new heart murmur, infective endocarditis must always be considered.

Review

    Shruti Sonni, MD and David E. Thaler, MD, PhD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2013, 80 (9) 566-576; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.80a.12141

    A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is often the precursor of stroke. As such, every TIA deserves to be taken seriously.
