Advances in genome sequencing technologies and biomarker discoveries now inform individual risk assessments and treatment decision-making within cancer care. These advances have contributed to the emergence of precision healthcare where disease prevention and treatment recommendations are based upon individual genetic variability, as well as environmental and lifestyle considerations. To actively participate in precision healthcare and support patients, oncology nurses require specific knowledge and skills in cancer genomics. Nurses are poised to contribute to the safe and equitable delivery of precision healthcare and further education and engagement will support this endeavour. The Canadian Nursing and Genomics (CNG) promotes collaboration between nurses from the five domains of practice, from different healthcare sectors and educational backgrounds, as a key strategy to prepare nurses for the genomics era. This article provides a case study to illustrate genomics informed nursing practice across clinical settings and provides leadership strategies across the domains of nursing practice to support genomic literacy within nursing practice.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease of cartilage characterised by joint pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life with affected joint movement leading to pain and limited mobility. Current methods to diagnose OA are predominantly limited to X-ray, MRI and invasive joint fluid analysis, all of which lack chemical or molecular specificity and are limited to detection of the disease at later stages. A rapid minimally invasive and non-destructive approach to disease diagnosis is a critical unmet need.

Early detection of a premetabolic status that is at risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) but not meeting the criteria is crucial. This study examined 27,623 participants aged 20-50 (mean: 40.7) years who underwent initial health screening at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital (2011-2019), focusing on individuals with one or two MetS components.

Background: With advancements in healthcare, traditional VTE risk assessment tools are increasingly insufficient to meet the demands of high-quality care, underscoring the need for innovative and specialized assessment methods.
Objective: Owing to the remarkable success of machine learning in supervised learning and disease prediction, our objective is to develop a reliable and efficient model for assessing VTE risk by leveraging the fundamental data and clinical characteristics of colorectal cancer patients within our medical facility.
Methods: Six commonly used machine learning algorithms were utilized in our study to predict the occurrence of VTE in patients with rectal cancer.

Introduction: Idiopathic blepharospasm is a clinically heterogeneous form of focal dystonia, also associated with psychiatric symptoms. The identification of the most relevant sets of motor and psychiatric manifestations may help better understand the specific phenomenology of the condition and delineate blepharospasm subtypes more accurately.
Methods: Patients with idiopathic blepharospasm were from the Dystonia Coalition project.
