  ABSTRACT: Hereditary angioedema is a rare but life-threatening disease characterized by recurring attacks of swelling of any part of the body, without hives. Prompt recognition is critical so that treatment can be started to minimize morbidity and the risk of death. Drugs have recently become available to prevent and treat acute attacks.

• Article: Aspirin: Its risks, benefits, and optimal use in preventing cardiovascular events.

  Ki Park, Anthony A Bavry
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Aspirin has a well-established role in preventing adverse events in patients with known cardiovascular disease. However, its benefit in patients without a history of cardiovascular disease is not as clear, particularly in people with diabetes, in women, and in the elderly. Recent studies have provided insight into the risks of aspirin use, particularly bleeding, compared with its benefits in these subgroups.

• Article: Bone mineral density testing: Is a T score enough to determine the screening interval?

  ABSTRACT: To find the rational intervals for bone mineral density screening, Gourlay et al (N Engl J Med 2012; 366:225-233) used T scores to calculate the time required for women age 67 and older with normal bone mineral density or osteopenia to progress to osteoporosis. They estimated that the screening interval for women with normal bone mineral density or mild osteopenia (T score -1.49 or higher) could be as long as 15 years. However, the investigators focused mainly on T scores and when these scores reached -2.5. In our opinion, the testing interval should be guided by an assessment of clinical risk factors and not just baseline T scores.

• Article: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: A menace to our most vulnerable patients.

  Federico Perez, David Van Duin
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) highlights the importance of effective antibiotics to maintain the safety of our health care system. Clinicians will encounter CRE as a cause of difficult-to-treat and often fatal infections in hospitalized patients. We review the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance, the dissemination and clinical impact of these resistant organisms, and challenges to their detection, treatment, and control.

• Article: Detecting and controlling diabetic nephropathy: What do we know?

  Gerald Appel
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Diabetic nephropathy is becoming increasingly common with the aging of our population and the obesity epidemic. The major ways to prevent or slow its progression are by reducing blood pressure, controlling blood sugar, and inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. New therapeutic agents are also being tried.

• Article: Options for managing severe aortic stenosis: A case-based review.

  Olcay Aksoy, Bridget L O'brien, Venu Menon
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The treatment of calcific aortic stenosis is well established and includes careful monitoring of patients who have no symptoms and surgical aortic valve replacement in the patients who do have symptoms. Patients who cannot undergo open heart surgery can now undergo valve replacement via a minimally invasive transcatheter approach. In this article, we use clinical vignettes to illustrate the management of patients with severe aortic stenosis.

  ABSTRACT: In their 2012 guidelines for cervical cancer screening, several organizations call for less-frequent but more-effective screening that incorporates testing for human papillomavirus (HPV). We review these recommendations and the possible future direction of screening.
