Hip pain. Don't throw away the cane.

The most common cause of hip pain is osteoarthritis, which when combined with rheumatoid arthritis accounts for 90% of all hip pain diagnoses. Other conditions of the joint include fractures, synovitis, and avascular necrosis. There are three major conditions that mimic hip disease: nerve root pressure syndrome, trochanteric bursitis, and vascular insufficiency. Laboratory studies are often of little value for diagnosis. Careful examination and an awareness of possible mimicking and concomitant conditions can be more helpful. Treatment of hip disease should be conservative as long as the patient can tolerate the discomfort and inconvenience. Early treatment may include the use of a cane. If surgery is contemplated, insist that the patient get at least two opinions regarding the need for and type of surgery to be recommended.

Cranioplasty: why throw the bone flap out?

Patients who undergo decompressive craniectomy for intracranial hypertension often require interval cranioplasty. Many cranioplasty agents are currently in use. The authors suggest that storage of the patient's own bone flap in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal wall, is a safe, efficacious and cost-effective alternative to use of synthetic cranioplasty materials.

Throwing down the gauntlet: 'iron hands' and the sixteenth century armourer.

The work of sixteenth century 'medical armourers' in the manufacture of iron hands based on skills developed in the manufacture of armoured gauntlets is briefly explored. In order to illustrate their form and function, reference is made to an iron hand in the collection of the British Museum and a comparison is made with another example manufactured around the same period.

Are antimicrobial-impregnated catheters effective? Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

The antimicrobial-impregnated central venous catheter (CVC) has been the most intensively studied technology for the prevention of CVC-related bloodstream infections (BSIs) over the past 30 years. Although more than a dozen randomized trials have shown significant benefit, authors of an analysis published in a recent issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases have raised questions about the efficacy of antimicrobial-impregnated CVCs because of perceived defects in the experimental design of the studies and statistical analyses of the data. They have further argued that even if this technology might be effective in preventing CVC-related BSI, its cost-effectiveness is questionable. Although most of the studies scrutinized by the authors of this analysis indeed had shortcomings, we believe that their analysis unjustifiably downplays a large body of research that has demonstrated a consistent reduction in CVC-related BSI and a clear-cut cost-effectiveness associated with the use of antimicrobial-impregnated CVCs.
