A Pilot Study Of Diabetes Management In The Managed Care Setting, Rachel Wagman
The Medicine Forum
Diabetes mellitus represents a disease entity that primary care providers commonly encounter in the outpatient setting. Patient visits encompass a broad range of concerns, from optimizing management of hyperglycemia to the sequelae of chronic disease. The third National Health and Nutrition Exam Survey, (NHANES III) 1988-1994 has reported the prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 in the U.S. adult population at 12.3%. The cost of diabetes in 1998, estimated at $77 billion, is a formidable challenge to the health care community and third-party payers. Historically, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) have encouraged more preventative tests, procedures, and exams to curtail the …

The patient is a 62 year old Indian male with a past medical history significant for myasthenia gravis, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, who presented to an outside hospital with fever, fecal incontinence, and melena. Work up at that hospital was remarkable for elevated liver function tests, heme-positive brown stool and a CT of the abdomen showing a thick ascending colon suggesting possible mass. The patient had an episode of desaturation and fever to 105 degrees Fahrenheit prior to transfer to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for further evaluation. Upon arrival, the patient was in respiratory distress with oxygen saturation of 70% …

A Case Of Hypercalcemia, Daniel Lin
The Medicine Forum
A 79-year-old man with a past medical history of diet-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic lower extremity venous stasis ulcers requiring two skin grafts was admitted to the hospital due to dehydration. He was in his usual state of health intermittently being wheelchair bound due to leg ulcers until four days earlier, when he accidentally spilled hot tea on his left arm while in the kitchen. In his attempt to maneuver the wheelchair away from the spill, the wheelchair turned over, pinning him on the floor and against the cabinets. He remained in that position for four days …

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been demonstrated to be associated with increased serum uric acid (SUA); however, little is known regarding the relationship between maximum weight, or maximum weight fluctuation, and uric acid concentration. Through retrospective means, we determined the association of maximum weight with SUA risk.
METHODS: Data of 21,414 participants (8,630 males and 12,784 females) from the 2007-8 China National Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders Study were analyzed for parameters including lifestyle habits, biochemical blood analysis and self-reported maximum weight.
RESULTS: Elevated SUA subjects shared a cluster of demographic features. After adjustment for age, gender, education, smoking, drinking, physical activity, WHR, …
