Welcome to MD News San Antonio. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States and the fifth-leading cause of death in our state. In our cover feature, we learn how the Comprehensive Stroke Center at University Health System, South Texas' premiere destination for the treatment and prevention of the three major manifestations of stroke, works diligently to help patients survive stroke and minimize the complications that often result. The legalization of marijuana use in many states has coincided with increased use of the drug by pregnant women. A feature in our special clinical section about women's health examines this alarming trend. We also look at factors driving women to undergo double mastectomy even when it is unlikely to provide a survival benefit, and we present a trove of data about women's health. Other features in this issue provide information about peripheral vascular disease, tips for owning your oˆce space for your practice and details about the savings that can result from smart spending. We also welcome Prabhdeep Grewal, MD, a new interventional pain specialist with The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group. MD News is an e‰ective, high-profile way to spread the message about what your organization can o‰er to both patients and referring physicians from throughout the region.
