Suicide in frontotemporal dementia and Huntington disease
OBJECTIVE: Genomic testing for early-onset dementia is becoming more accessible, along with predictive testing for at-risk relatives; however, complex counselling issues are important to address. The topic of suicide often has stigma associated, and thoughts or experiences may not be volunteered without prompting. Little has been published with consideration to suicide rates in the context of family experiences and their significance in genetic c…
Stakeholder attitudes towards establishing a national genomics registry of inherited cancer predisposition
Oncologists’ perspectives of telephone genetic counseling to facilitate germline BRCA1/2 testing for their patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer
Globalization in question
Responding to the contributors of this special issue, this essay is organized as a series of questions (and responses). These questions facilitate our selective engagement with critical themes raised by the contributors such as the significance of engaged globalization theory and critical reflexivity; the relationship between globalization capitalism, imperialism and colonialism; the global-local nexus; and the development of an integrated method…
Evidence-Based Guideline for the Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults
Hypertension is the most common condition seen in primary care and leads to myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, and death if not detected early and treated appropriately. Patients want to be assured that blood pressure (BP) treatment will reduce their disease burden, while clinicians want guidance on hypertension management using the best scientific evidence. This report takes a rigorous, evidence-based approach to recommend treatment t…
Globalizing Consumption and the Deferral of a Politics of Consequence
How do ‘we’ in the wealthy parts of the world rationalize our constant deferral of doing anything much, beyond symbolic moments of ameliorative action, about the problems starkly presented every night on the world news? Intensifying globalization, from electronic capitalism to techno-science, has drawn the fate of the world into an ever-tightening orbit. Indeed, the plight of others has become increasingly immediate. Images of crisis abound. Howe…
Perceptions of Iowa Family Physicians Regarding Colorectal Cancer Screening
BACKGROUND: Fewer than half of Americans have been screened for colorectal cancer (CRC), a largely preventable disease. METHODS: All physician members (n = 1030) of the Iowa Academy of Family Physicians were mailed a 3-page investigator-developed survey about their attitudes, barriers, and practices regarding CRC screening. RESULTS: The usable response rate was 29%. Forty-three percent practiced in rural settings. Ninety-five percent felt that th…
The Limited Effect of Screening for Depressive Symptoms With the PHQ-9 in Rural Family Practices
CONTEXT: Previous studies have found that routine screening for depression does not improve patient outcome unless it is combined with case management. However, these studies were conducted before the widespread use of SSRIs or in settings other than traditional primary care. PURPOSE: This study investigated whether screening for depressive symptoms improves outcomes for depressed patients seen in rural fee-for-service primary care offices. METHO…
Readiness for Medicaid Managed Care Reform Initiatives
Medicaid managed care is now an important factor in the financing of rural health care delivery. The participation of rural family physicians in Medicaid managed care is vital for the rural poor to access health services. This study examined 855 family physicians practicing in non metropolitan counties across the United States to determine their readiness to participate in Medicaid managed care. Physicians were asked about their experience with p…
