Summary
Genomic discoveries offer personalized healthcare, but translating them into practice is challenging. This article outlines opportunities for advanced practice nurses to advance genomic health for all.
Area of Science:
- Genomic medicine
- Precision healthcare
- Nursing research
Background:
- Genomic discoveries promise tailored healthcare and research for rare and common diseases.
- Translating genomic findings into public health benefits is an ongoing process.
Purpose of the Study:
- Identify opportunities to enhance advanced practice nursing and research in genomic health.
- Improve genomic healthcare for individuals and populations.
Main Methods:
- Expert panel review
- Identification of actionable opportunities
Main Results:
- Opportunities identified in advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) genomics practice, research, and education.
- Need for new knowledge in disease biology, risk, treatment efficacy, drug safety, and self-management.
- Enhancing resources to integrate genomic data with other health information.
Conclusions:
- Bolstering APRN genomics practice, research, and education is crucial.
- Deriving new knowledge and improving data integration are key.
- Advocating for patient benefits and equitable access to genomic healthcare is essential.

02:50Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
6.3K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:29Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics: Overview
141
Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics examine how genetic factors influence an individual's response to drugs. While pharmacogenetics focuses on the impact of specific genetic variants on drug effects, pharmacogenomics takes a broader approach, studying how genetic variation across populations contributes to differences in drug responses. These fields aim to explain why individuals may experience varying levels of efficacy or adverse reactions to the same medication.Variability in drug...
