Medical schools have been slow to include meaningful end-of-life (EOL) educational experiences in their curricula. As an area of inquiry and focused clinical experience, death is "conspicuous" by its absence, reflecting a medical culture that defines…

Cancer is a major cause of death in immunosuppressed transplant patients. Therefore, sirolimus is frequently used in these patients for its immunosuppressive and antineoplastic properties. However, a variety of cutaneous side effects have resulted…

Bilateral anterior knee pain is a common presentation to the orthopaedist. Correct diagnosis is based on careful history and physical examination aided by proper radiographs. Erroneous diagnosis may lead to improper treatment. This report describes a…

A high index of suspicion is required for early detection of complications, most commonly diverticular abscess and colovesical fistula. Appropriate antibiotic therapy should cover a wide range of potential pathogens.

Varying combinations of 3 measurable factors determine a patient's risk of progressing toward multiple myeloma and influence monitoring decisions. This review–and accompanying algorithm–can guide your approach. For monoclonal gammopathy of…

Castleman disease, also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, is an uncommon tumor involving lymph node tissues. The most common location is in the thorax presenting as a mediastinal mass. In the abdomen, most of the lesions are located in…

Aspirin (ASA) was tested in a group of 8 Oriental and 3 Occidental subjects who were shown in a previous study to respond to small doses of ethanol (0.06-0.25 g/kg) with facial flushing. They were compared to a similar group of 11 non-flushing…
