Background: The International Society of Nursing in Genetics (ISONG) fosters scientific and professional development in the discovery, interpretation, and application of genomic information in nursing research, education, and clinical practice.
Objectives: Assess genomic-related activities of ISONG members in research, education and practice, and competencies to serve as global leaders in genomics.
Design: Cross-sectional survey (21-items) assessing genomic-related training, knowledge, and practice.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how mobile health (mHealth) technology compares to usual care in detecting and managing atrial fibrillation (AF) over 6 months.
- Patients using daily smartphone ECG monitoring had a significantly higher detection rate of recurrent AF/AFL (61%) compared to controls (30%).
- Improvements in quality of life were noted in physical functioning, vitality, and mental health among patients using mHealth, highlighting its effectiveness in patient self-management.
Background: Atrial fibrillation is a major public health problem and is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting an estimated 2.7 million Americans. The true prevalence of atrial fibrillation is likely underestimated because episodes are often sporadic; therefore, it is challenging to detect and record an occurrence in a "real world" setting.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate gender differences at baseline and during follow-up among heart transplant patients.
Methods: An observational cohort within the NEW HEART study was evaluated to determine gender differences in relation to age, coexisting cardiac comorbidities, and outcomes.
Objective: To determine whether early social-emotional problems are associated with child feeding practices, maternal-child feeding styles, and child obesity at age 5 years, in the context of a primary care-based brief general parenting intervention led by an integrated behavioral health specialist to offer developmental monitoring, on-site intervention, and/or referrals.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of mothers with 5-year-old children previously screened using the Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE) during the first 3 years of life. ASQ:SE scores were dichotomized "not at risk" versus "at risk.
Background: Although disparities in child obesity exist during infancy, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Assessing dissimilarities in feeding practices, styles, and beliefs may provide a better understanding of these mechanisms. This study sought to identify modifiable maternal-infant feeding behaviors that may contribute to disparities in early child obesity.
