Introduction: Cultural diversity among nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia poses problems in communication management to ensure optimal patient care. This study explored and described the perceptions of communication among nurses in a culturally diverse workforce.
Methodology: A qualitative approach was used; a sample of seventeen (n=17) nurses was purposively selected. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six steps of thematic qualitative analysis.
Results: Key themes were (1) nurses' perceptions of communication in a culturally diverse workforce, (2) barriers to communication in a culturally diverse workforce, and (3) facilitators of effective communication in a culturally diverse workforce.
Discussion: Nurses have recognized the importance of communicating in a culturally diverse environment to provide optimal care. Strategies such as cultural competence training, open communication forums, and mentorship programs are recommended to improve cross-cultural understanding and collaboration in care teams.

Establishing oncofertility care in limited resource settings: a narrative review.

Purpose: While the literature has addressed the implementation of oncofertility care at developed institutions, minimal advice exists for those seeking to build oncofertility programs in limited resource settings (LRS). Our research offers a promising conversation on establishing oncofertility care in such settings from the perspective of a practitioner working to establish care in Latin America. We propose practices that have the potential to significantly improve access to and quality of care in these challenging settings.

Microorganisms adapted to high hydrostatic pressures at depth in the oceans and within the subsurface of Earth's crust represent a phylogenetically diverse community thriving under extreme pressure, temperature, and nutrient availability conditions. To better understand the microbial function, physiological responses, and metabolic strategies at conditions requires high-pressure (HP) continuous culturing techniques that, although commonly used in bioengineering and biotechnology applications, remain relatively rare in the study of the Earth's microbiomes. Here, we focus on recent developments in the design of HP chemostats, with particular emphasis on adaptations for delivery and sampling of dissolved gases.

Menopause, a significant life transition for half the global population, intersects biological, cultural and social dimensions. Despite its universal occurrence, menopause research has historically been dominated by biomedical perspectives, often neglecting women's voices and diverse experiences. This article highlights the importance of including women's perspectives in menopause research to ensure relevance, accuracy and equity.

Introduction: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) comprises a clinically diverse and genetically heterogeneous group of tumors along the intra- and extrahepatic biliary system (intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) and gallbladder cancer with the common feature of a poor prognosis, despite increasing molecular knowledge of associated genetic aberrations and possible targeted therapies. Therefore, the search for even more precise and individualized therapies is ongoing and preclinical tumor models are central to the development of such new approaches.
Areas Covered: The models described in the current review include simple and advanced in vitro and in vivo models, including cell lines, 2D monolayer, spheroid and organoid cultures, 3D bioprinting, patient-derived xenografts, and more recently, machine-perfusion platform-based models of resected liver specimens.
