I am proud to serve as the chair of this outstanding and enduring Department of Family and Community Medicine. Dr. Jack Colwill became the first chair of the modern department, and for more than 20 years he led an evolving enterprise that built successful programs in patient care, teaching, and research. During the past 10 years, led by Dr. Harold Williamson, we have grown to more than 50 faculty members representing diverse disciplines, 36 residents, and the strongest staff in the medical school.
It is the people in this department who have helped us become leaders in our school, our health system, and our discipline. Accordingly, our vision, values, and mission are ambitious: Our vision is being leaders in caring and imparting knowledge and providing service that will improve human health and well-being. Our values include collaboration, scholarship, integrity, compassion, humor, and respect for self and others. We are committed to providing excellent care and service to our patients and community and fostering professional and personal growth. Our mission is to enhance health and primary care for our communities, emphasizing rural and underserved areas, through leadership in education, scholarship, and service. We plan to continue to strive for excellence in patient care, education, and research. Our faculty members teach in all four years of the medical school curriculum, providing leadership in family medicine, behavioral science, epidemiology, sports medicine, geriatrics, and end-of-life care. Physician faculty members practice side by side with our resident physicians in eight practices and three hospitals providing almost 100,000 visits from patients annually. Our research efforts mainly focus on preventing and caring for patients with chronic disease, including the evaluation of innovative approaches to providing patient-centered care. Please use this website as a view into our department. Our goal is to help you learn more about family medicine at MU. If you have questions or desire additional information, let us know. We welcome and appreciate your interest. |

Is saw palmetto helpful for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Auteurs :
Greta Kuphal et David Rakel
Masquer le résumé
A recent Cochrane review concluded that saw palmetto is not superior to placebo, although the heterogeneity of products and doses studied makes combining results into a meta-analysis problematic. In direct comparisons, saw palmetto demonstrated efficacy equal to finasteride and tamsulosin, with fewer side effects and lower cost.

What’s the best treatment for cradle cap?
Auteurs :
Paul Crawford, Ryan C. Sheffield et Sarah Towner Wright
Masquer le résumé
Ketoconazole (Nizoral) shampoo appears to be a safe and efficacious treatment for infants with cradle cap (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, consensus, usual practice, opinion, disease-oriented evidence, and case series). Limit topical corticosteroids to severe cases because of possible systemic absorption (SOR: C). Overnight application of emollients followed by gentle brushing and washing with baby shampoo helps to remove the scale associated with cradle cap (SOR: C).

What is the appropriate evaluation and treatment of children who are “toe walkers”?
Auteurs :
M.Patrice Eiff, Dolores Zegar Judkins et Elizabeth Steiner
Masquer le résumé
The evaluation of toe-walking focuses ondifferentiating normal children from thosewith mild cerebral palsy. Gait analysis maybe a useful diagnostic tool, but furtherinvestigation is needed to confirm itsreliability (strength of recommendation[SOR]: C, based on case series). Observation alone is generally as successful as serial casting and surgery in decreasing the frequency of toe-walking at follow-up (SOR: C, based on case series).

What causes a low TSH level with a normal free T4 level?
Auteurs :
Imad Kafilmout, Jill Byerly Mayer et Lynne Darby Morris
Masquer le résumé
Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SCH) is defined as a low thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level with normal free T4 and free T3 levels in patients without specific symptoms ofhyperthyroidism. There is no evidence that treating SCH results in improved cardiovascular outcomes and evidence isinsufficient that it improves neuropsychiatric outcomes (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C). Bone mineral density may be increased with treatment of SCH (SOR: B, based on one randomized clinical trial).

Does stimulant therapy help adult ADHD?
Auteurs :
Laura Leach et Michelle E. Lutton
Masquer le résumé
Central nervous system stimulants improve symptoms of attention deficit–hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults (strength of recommendation: B, based on an older, inconclusive systematic review, a lesser-quality systematic review, and several newer small randomized controlled trials). Although not the focus of this question,nonstimulant medications (including buproprion, modafinil, and guanfacine) have also been studied in the treatment of ADHD in adults. Recently, atomoxetine became the only nonstimulant medication to receive approval by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ADHD.
