Acquired atherosclerotic aortopulmonary fistula presenting as new-onset congestive heart failure.

A middle-aged patient with new-onset congestive heart failure, a loud precordial systolic murmur, and a widened mediastinum on chest radiography is described. Noninvasive studies in addition to the clinical examination suggested an unusual complication of atherosclerotic aortic disease, which was demonstrated at aortography and confirmed at surgery. This case stresses the importance of a careful bedside examination in addition to selective noninvasive studies in patients with new-onset or atypical congestive heart failure.

Teaching headache management to medicine residents.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effect of teaching headache management to PG-1 medicine residents. DESIGN: Observational study using prerotation and postrotation ratings by residents of improvement in their knowledge of etiology, diagnosis, appropriate use of narcotics, and treatment of headache. SETTING: Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-two medicine residents. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: There was small but significant improvement in the total knowledge score (P = .03) and in areas of etiology of headache (P = .02) and appropriate use of narcotics (P = .001). CONCLUSION: We found there were substantial increases in residents subjective levels of understanding, history-taking and in the diagnosis and treatment of headache (P < .0001) in contrast to the objective knowledge test.
