[Professional secrecy].

Confidentiality is a "sensitive" subject known to all professional nursing personnel. The perception of confidentiality in nursing students was determined during a research project. Some responses were surprising. The surprises were mostly due to the fast development in the medical and technology fields. These findings proved to be of significance in that guidelines for confidentiality are not up to date with the developments in these fields. These guidelines should be revised or rewritten to bring them up to date and help the professional nurse in decisions on aspects concerning confidentiality.

[Tourette syndrome].

Tourette Syndrome is not as rare as many health professionals may think. On the contrary it is very common, especially among the Afrikaans population. It is possibly the most common inherited condition. Tourette Syndrome is a neurological variation characterized by "tics" or mannerisms, which can also be combined with one or all of the following: frontal lobe involvement particularly the limbic system; learning problems; anxiety; obsessive-compulsive behaviour; sexual deviations. Most authorities regard TS as a dominant inherited condition although Comings describes it as semi-dominant--semi-recessive.
