Aim: To describe telenurses' strategies for managing difficult calls.
Background: Telenursing is a growing and complex area and places great demands on telenurses' knowledge and skills and on their ability to communicate and listen. To become emotionally concerned is central to telenurses' experiences of difficult calls.
Design: A descriptive qualitative study.
Methods: The data were collected during February 2017 through individual interviews with 19 telenurses at call centres and primary healthcare centres. Data were analysed with qualitative content analysis.
Result: The analysis revealed an essential strategy illustrated by the theme "to be calm and secure in themselves." Further categories described telenurses' strategies to manage difficult calls, labelled as: "to show commitment and interest," "to have structure in the call and use support systems," "to pause the call" and "to reflect on difficult calls." The results show that telenurses need multiple strategies to help them to navigate difficult calls.

Infertility and assisted reproduction treatment (ART) are frequently accompanied by the experience of emotional disorders. Psychological interventions are available for infertile populations, but the barriers of current face-to-face models of care difficult their dissemination. This systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD4202340179) aims to summarize how technologies are used in telemedicine psychological programs to manage emotional disorders in women undergoing fertility treatments.

Background: The Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR) networks 'Seq4AMR' and 'B2B2B AMR Dx' were established to promote collaboration between microbial whole genome sequencing (WGS) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) stakeholders. A key topic discussed was the frequent variability in results obtained between different microbial WGS-related AMR gene prediction workflows. Further, comparative benchmarking studies are difficult to perform due to differences in AMR gene prediction accuracy and a lack of agreement in the naming of AMR genes (semantic conformity) for the results obtained.

Carcinogenesis often involves significant alterations in the cancer genome, marked by large structural variants (SVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) that are difficult to capture with short-read sequencing. Traditionally, cytogenetic techniques are applied to detect such aberrations, but they are limited in resolution and do not cover features smaller than several hundred kilobases. Optical genome mapping (OGM) and nanopore sequencing [Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT)] bridge this resolution gap and offer enhanced performance for cytogenetic applications.

Background: The phenotypic variability of inherited conditions can be due to several factors including environmental, epigenetic, and genetic. One of those genetic factors is the presence of modifying loci which alter the phenotypic expression of a primary disease or phenotype-causing variant. Modifiers are known to affect penetrance, dominance, expressivity, and pleiotropy of disease.
