Editorial

  • You have access
    A renewed mission and a new look

    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 312-313;

    The Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine’s new mission statement, “Dedicated to Lifelong Learning,” reflects our shift in focus to continuing education for physicians. The more functional new design uses typography and color to help readers find information quickly.

Highlights from Medical Grand Rounds

  • You have access
    Medicine and the Internet: why physicians should pay attention
    Neil B. Mehta, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 315-316;

    The question for physicians is no longer whether to bother to be connected to the Internet, but whether they can afford not to.

  • You have access
    Understanding obesity: The interaction of diet, genetics, and hormones
    Cheryl R. Rosenfeld, DO
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 317-319;

    The widely held belief that gluttony and sloth underlie obesity is fading, as research sheds light on the interactions between diet, genetics, hormones, and neurotransmitters.

Commentary

  • You have access
    The dark side of evidence-based medicine
    Ralph I. Horwitz, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 320-323;

    Clinical judgement – utilizing personal experience, analogy and extrapolation – is still necessary in a system of evidence-based medicine.

Cardiology Dialogues

  • You have access
    Preoperative evaluation before noncardiac vascular surgery
    Kim A. Eagle, MD and Michael S. Lauer, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 325-330;

    How to assess a patient’s perioperative risk, deciding when clinical factors are sufficient to gauge risk and when pharmacologic stress testing is needed.

Review

  • You have access
    Diabetic nephropathy: strategies for preventing renal failure
    James K. Salem, MD and Byron J. Hoogwerf, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 331-338;

    Early detection, coupled with rigorous glycemic control and aggressive hypertensive management may slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Dietary protein restriction may also have a role.

    The use of intravenous immunoglobulin in rheumatic diseases
    Celina Cruz-Esteban, MD and Gary S. Hoffman, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 340-343;

    The postulated immunomodulating effects of high-dose IVIg therapy make it an attractive alternative to corticosteroids or cytotoxic agents, but cost is an important issue, especially when efficacy is uncertain.

Current Drug Therapy

  • You have access
    Current issues in menopausal hormone replacement therapy
    Holly L. Thacker, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 344-353;

    For most menopausal women, the benefits of hormone replacement therapy out-weigh the risks, despite the fears aroused by an unproven link to breast cancer.

  • You have access
    Conscious sedation: what an internist needs to know
    Thomas L. Higgins, MD, Charles J. Hearn, DO and Walter G. Maurer, MD
    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine October 1996, 63 (6) 355-361;

    The use of conscious sedation rather than general anesthesia is increasing in the shift to outpatient care, but the technique poses its own special dangers.
