NEW FEATURE ARTICLES THIS WEEK

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#02>

- Glucose Intolerance, Physical Signs of Peripheral Artery

Disease, and Risk of Cardiovascular Events

----------------------------------------------------------

Physical findings of PAD may signify a compromised arterial

circulation to the heart and brain as well as the limbs in

patients with glucose intolerance, and may be a risk factor

for coronary disease, heart failure, and stroke.

[Am Heart J 136(5):919-927, 1999]

PLUS...

- Atherogenic, Hemostatic, and Other Potential Risk Markers

in Subjects With Previous Isolated Myocardial Infarction

Compared With Long-standing Uncomplicated Stable Angina

o HIV/AIDS_____________________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#01>

- Antiretroviral Agents and Food Interactions

----------------------------------------------------------

With the increasing complexity of antiretroviral therapy

regimens, the possibility for significant drug-food interactions

increases, and the clinician must be able to prevent, detect, and

deal with these interactions.

[Infect Med 15(12):836-839, 873, 1999]

PLUS...

- Guest Editorial - AIDS: A Disease of the Young?

o Infectious Diseases_________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#03>

 

 

- Rubella Serology in Mentally Retarded Adults

----------------------------------------------------------

Although the risk of congenital rubella syndrome was low

because of the small number of fertile women in this population

of institutionalized adults, more than one-fourth of the

fertile women were found to lack demonstrable serologic

confirmation of rubella immunity.

[South Med J 91(9):842-846, 1999]

o Internal Medicine___________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#04>

- Leg Weakness in Neurosarcoidosis

----------------------------------------------------------

A 22-year-old male presented with leg weakness and decreased

hearing. After neuroimaging studies and lymph node biopsy,

he was diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis. This disease entity

should be suspected in young patients with diffuse

lymphadenopathy, cauda equina lesions, and paranasal

opacification.

[South Med J 91(9):870-872, 1999]

PLUS...

- A Pitfall in the Diagnosis of Left Main Coronary

Obstruction Due to Aortic Dissection

- Admission Serum Albumin Level and Length of Hospitalization

in Elderly Patients

o Managed Care________________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#05>

- Managed Care Matters - Introducing the Automated Pharmaceutical

Account Rep

----------------------------------------------------------

"What really irks managed care pharmacy directors are account

reps who really have no idea of the specifics of the plan

they are trying to contract with. They may know it's an HMO --

and that's about it."

[Drug Benefit Trends 10(12):22, 1999]

PLUS...

- Viewpoint - The Strategic Importance of Pharmacogenomics

in the Future of the Pharmaceutical Industry

o Medical Practice____________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#06>

- Legal Brief - Signing Away Your Future

----------------------------------------------------------

Given the way consolidation and competition are sweeping

through medicine, more and more doctors will be asked to

sign noncompete or other restrictive covenants limiting

their ability to practice once they've left a job or

partnership.

[Hippocrates 12(12):25-26, 1999]

PLUS...

- Medicine & the Law - Challenging Blue's Medical Necessity

Denials

o Oncology____________________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#08>

- A Breast Cancer Patient With Disseminated Scedosporium

prolificans Infection

----------------------------------------------------------

Clinicians must maintain a strong clinical suspicion for

Scedosporium infection in cancer patients treated for

Aspergillus who do not improve on standard amphotericin B.

[Infect Med 15(12):849-852, 855, 1999]

o Orthopedics_________________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#09

- Late Reconstruction of Flexor and Extensor Tendon Injuries

----------------------------------------------------------

Late reconstructive techniques are needed to repair flexor

and extensor tendon injuries if repair is done more than

3 weeks after trauma.

[Medscape Orthopedics & Sports Medicine 3(1), 1999]

PLUS...

- Clinical Abstracts - Flexor and Extensor Tendon Injuries

of the Hand

o Pediatrics__________________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#10>

- Imaging Gastrointestinal Abnormalities in Children With AIDS

----------------------------------------------------------

GI manifestations of AIDS in children include opportunistic

infections and malignant neoplasms; the appropriate radiographic

test will facilitate an accurate and timely diagnosis.

[The AIDS Reader 8(4):187-191, 1999]

PLUS...

- Rotavirus

o Pharmacotherapy_____________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#11>

- Persistent High Restenosis After Local Intrawall Delivery of

Long-Acting Steroids Before Coronary Stent Implantation

----------------------------------------------------------

Local drug delivery of long-acting steroids before coronary

stenting did not reduce the angiographic restenosis rate and

the incidence of target lesion revascularization, arguing

against the use of steroids during stent implementation.

[J Invas Cardiol 10(6):323-331, 1999]

PLUS...

- Drug-Induced Changes in Eustachian Tube Function

o Primary Care________________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#12>

- Impaired Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilatation in Women With

Previous Gestational Diabetes

----------------------------------------------------------

Compared to women known to have been normoglycemic during

pregnancy, women with a history of gestational diabetes

exhibited impaired flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in the

brachial artery, a response that depends on intact endothelial

function and in which the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) is

generated in response to increased sheer stress on the vessel

wall.

[Diabetes Care 21(12):2111-2115, 1999]

PLUS...

- Image of the Week - DermaDiagnosis

o Respiratory Care____________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#14>

- Acute Exacerbations of COPD Require Aggressive Treatment

----------------------------------------------------------

Increased cough, purulent sputum, wheezing, dyspnea, and

occasionally fever are indicative of an acute exacerbation

of COPD. Management must be aggressive and include oxygen

therapy, inhaled bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and

antibacterials.

[Drugs & Ther Perspect 12(11):8-9, 1999]

PLUS...

- Efficacy and Tolerability Comparison of Ebastine 10 and

20mg With Loratadine 10mg

o Surgery_____________________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#15>

- Is Bigger Always Better in Arterial Intervention?

----------------------------------------------------------

After stent deployment, an intravascular ultrasound cross-

sectional lumen area greater than 9mm2 has been

associated with restenosis rates in the single-digit range,

making acceptance of the "bigger is better" concept uniform.

This concept predicts excellent results in these vessels and

even better restenosis rates in larger vessels such as the

iliac and carotid arteries.

[J Invas Cardiol 10(8):521-527, 1999]

PLUS...

- Persistent High Restenosis After Local Intrawall Delivery

of Long-Acting Steroids Before Coronary Stent Implantation

o Women's Health______________________________________________

<http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/public/MP/99/0108.html#17>

- Virtual Consult- Pregnant Woman With Sickle-Cell Disease

How would you manage this lifelong sickle-cell sufferer who

presents in active labor and sickle-cell crisis? Medscape

Women's Health Co-editor-in-Chief, Joseph Pastorek, MD,

FACOG, moderates the case discussion.

[Medscape Women's Health 3(6), 1999]
