Jonathan Manheim, M.D. has had an article published

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jonathan Manheim of High Street Hospitalist Services has co-authored an article entitled

"Health Care Disparities in the Acute Management of Venous Thromboembolism Based on Insurance Status in the U.S."

in the Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis, November 2011 (Volume 32, Issue 4, pp. 393-398.)

The abstract reveals that "acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common, costly, and potentially lethal." Therapeutic anticoagulation requires timely and closely monitored medical follow-up. If treatment proves ineffective, clinical outcomes worsen and costs increase. The authors conclude that this risk may be magnified in uninsured patients.

Come to the Denver Medical Library for a copy if you are intersted in reading this enlightening article.

High Fives to Drs. Carol Stamm and Richard Miranda

P/SL medical staffers Carol Stamm, M.D. and Richard Miranda, M.D., along with James McGregor, M.D. have published an article in the September issue of Contemporary Ob/GYN entiled "An Evidence-Based Approach to Managing Common STIs in Adolescents."

"Adolescents and young women are at particulary high risk for acquiring STIs, and for developing serious sequelae from untreated gonococcal and chlamydial infections. This review incorporates information from the CDC's 2010 Sexually Transmsitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines and provides an evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating STIs in this population."

DML is open again!

Welcome back to all our patrons, and thank you for your patience! We hope you like the new library look as much as we do! The remodel of the Denver Medical Library is complete except for reshelving journals and books, which will take some time. Our new furniture should arrive mid-December after which we hope to have an Open House!

Also, the month of November is the time to remember to focus on information about Diabetes (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/diabetes.html ) and Alzheimer's ( http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/alzheimersdisease.html . Handouts on these topics will be available in the new Family Health Library area soon.

Come visit our newly remodeled library!
