Summary Points: 1. Individuals with Alzheimer disease will have increasing difficulty with finances over time, and the very first signs of this difficulty will occur prior to the diagnosis of dementia, when they have only mild cognitive impairment. 2. Health care professionals, including physicians, should educate older adult patients and families about the need for advance financial planning and encourage the use of Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Matters. 3. Using objective information from performance-based financial tests can help decide whether, when, and in which financial areas families or caregivers need to assume proxy financial responsibility.

Bach, MD, MAPP, author of Benefits and Harms of CT Screening for Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review; and George T. O’Connor, MD, MS, author of Lung Cancer Screening, Radiation, Risks, Benefits, and Uncertainty. Summary Points: Three randomized trials examined computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer’s effect on lung cancer mortality—one showed a benefit, the other 2 did not but were smaller studies. CT screening does not appear to reduce mortality from causes other than lung cancer. There are still a lot of uncertainties regarding the risks and how to mitigate them. Full Article

Summary Points: In comparison with other competing biomarkers and risk factors, coronary artery calcium (CAC) is currently the most potent risk marker of subclinical coronary heart disease (CHD). CAC was shown in several observational studies to improve the prediction of risk beyond traditional risk factors. In this JAMA paper, CAC outperformed various competing risk assessment markers among asymptomatic people at intermediate risk for CHD. Whether CAC should be used in routine clinical practice, however, is still a matter of personal opinion or further research. Full Article

Haley, MD, author of Controlling Urban Epidemics of West Nile Virus Infection. Summary Points: Epidemics of West Nile neuroinvasive disease have become a serious medical and public health challenge that will be with us for the foreseeable future. Ultra low-volume aerial spraying of urban areas, guided by surveillance of mosquito trap positivity and human cases, is necessary and cost-effective to prevent chronic neurologic disability and death. Complete, accurate, and timely diagnosis of West Nile viral disease in an epidemic is vitally important to spare patients needless prolonged antimicrobial therapy and build support for public health control measures.

Rigotti, MD, author of Strategies to Help a Smoker Who Is Struggling to Quit. Summary Points: Treat tobacco use like the chronic disease that it is. Don't give up if your first few efforts do not succeed. Medications and brief counseling are each effective, but combining the two is most effective. Link your smokers to free national resources like the tobacco quit lines (1-800-QUIT-NOW). New noncombustible tobacco products are coming. Full Article

Gitlin, PhD, author of Nonpharmacologic Management of Behavioral Symptoms in Dementia. Summary Points: Attending to behavioral symptoms is part of comprehensive dementia care and requires ongoing long-term management. Use 6 steps to systematically prevent, assess, manage, eliminate or reduce behavioral symptoms. Use combination of nonpharmacologic approaches. Keep trying—nonpharmacologic approaches are relatively adverse free. Create a health professional team to offset time needed for provision of nonpharmacologic approaches. Full Article

Shmerling, MD, author of Management of Gout: A 57-Year-Old Man With a History of Podagra, Hyperuricemia, and Mild Renal Insufficiency. Summary Points: Risk factor modification: alcohol intake, excess weight, diet, medications (although overall impact on gout uncertain). Acute gout can be treated with NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids, or a combination of these. Urate-lowering treatment to prevent attacks and tophi is appropriate for certain patients with gout. (In my opinion, allopurinol is the best initial choice to suppress uric acid.) Urate-lowering treatment should suppress uric acid to 6.0 mg/dL or less; allopurinol should start no higher than 100 mg/d but titrate up based on uric acid levels; it is common to require more than 300 mg/d. Concomitant prophylaxis (eg, low-dose colchicine, 0.6 mg/d) is appropriate for 6-9 months or longer. Take home message: We now have new therapies and guidelines for the treatment of gout. Appropriate use of therapeutics for gout—both new and old—will provide optimal outcomes for the increasing number of patients with this common disease. Full Article

Summary Points: Insomnia is a frequent comorbid condition that increases costs and worsens outcomes. Insomnia is a chronic condition for which there are effective and widely available acute treatments (medications) and effective but hard-to-find long-term treatments (behavioral). Need to consider other health professionals such as nurses, physician assistants, and behavioral health managers (smoking, obesity, diet, exercise, sleep/insomnia). Full Article

Boiselle, MD, author of Computed Tomography Screening for Lung Cancer. Summary Points: CT screening reduced lung cancer-specific mortality by 20% in a large randomized trial of a high-risk population. CT is associated with a high false-positive rate, with associated risks and costs associated with follow-up CT and the potential for more invasive diagnostic procedures. Physicians should consider discussing CT screening with their high-risk patients who meet criteria in published guidelines. Full Article
