Preventive Care: Cornerstone or Constraint for Family Medicine? How Much Should We Prioritize Clinical Preventive Services?

In August 2025, family physicians gathered for the Family Medicine Leaders Consortium to share perspectives on whether family physicians should continue to prioritize clinical preventive services amid rising patient complexity, documentation burdens, policy constraints, and post-pandemic challenges. This paper synthesizes competing perspectives and overarching commentary from the consortium meeting. One viewpoint argues that preventive care remains essential to family medicine's core values, patient expectations, and economic viability. The opposing viewpoint contends that preventive services

Vitamin D in preventive medicine: are we ignoring the evidence?

Vitamin D is metabolised by a hepatic 25-hydroxylase into 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and by a renal 1alpha-hydroxylase into the vitamin D hormone calcitriol. Calcitriol receptors are present in more than thirty different tissues. Apart from the kidney, several tissues also possess the enzyme 1alpha-hydroxylase, which is able to use circulating 25(OH)D as a substrate. Serum levels of 25(OH)D are the best indicator to assess vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, hypovitaminosis, adequacy, and toxicity. European children and young adults often have circulating 25(OH)D levels in the insufficienc

Occupational skin diseases: options for multidisciplinary networking in preventive medicine.

Occupational dermatoses (OD) have topped the list of occupational diseases in Germany for years. Presently, approximately 16,000 new OD cases are officially reported to public statutory employers' liability insurance bodies, each year. The disease burden is high not only for individuals but also for society as a whole. Estimated annual economic costs in Germany due to sick-leave and lack of productivity due to OD are more than 1.5 billion euros. Thus, in recent years, various pilot initiatives aiming to improve prevention of occupational skin diseases (of various degrees of severity) have been

Passively inhaled tobacco smoke: a challenge to toxicology and preventive medicine.

The difficulties in defining the exposure of a passive smoker might explain the controversial results regarding an association between passive smoking on one hand and lung cancer, tumors of all sites and ischemic heart diseases on the other. The plausibility of these epidemiological observations will be discussed in the light of analytical, toxicological, biochemical and oncological data. The minute amounts of nicotine and particulate matter, even the much higher concentrations of volatile substances, such as nitrosamines, NOx, acroleine and formaldehyde, present in diluted sidestream compared

Problem kids and preventive medicine: the making of an odd couple.

The Effect of Telemedicine on Preventive Medicine- A Case from Israel.

BACKGROUND: Preventive medicine is one of the core elements of primary care physicians' (PCPs) work. This includes screening for cancer (such as Mammography and fecal occult blood test (FOBT) for breast and colon cancer) and also screening for chronic conditions (like bone density scans (DEXA scans) for osteoporosis). In recent years, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of telemedicine increased dramatically. This study aimed to identify the rate of preventative medicine referrals and performance in individuals who mostly had face-to-face encounters compared to those who mostly had…

Preventive medicine of von Hippel-Lindau disease-associated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are rare in von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) but cause serious morbidity and mortality. Management guidelines for VHL-PanNETs continue to be based on limited evidence, and survival data to guide surgical management are lacking. We established the European-American-Asian-VHL-PanNET-Registry to assess data for risks for metastases, survival and long-term outcomes to provide best management recommendations. Of 2330 VHL patients, 273 had a total of 484 PanNETs. Median age at diagnosis of PanNET was 35 years (range 10-75). Fifty-five (20%) patients had meta
