The prevention and management of cancer have been identified as health priorities in most countries. In order to achieve this, many oncology nurses need to face the additional challenge of caring for patients from different cultures. This article progresses beyond previous literature, which generally adopts a solely multicultural approach, and explores the concepts of culture, values and racism with inter-related concepts such as self-awareness, cultural encounter, skills and cultural knowledge and their relationship to cancer nursing practice. The case is then argued for enhancing patient care through the application of these concepts to nursing practice.
In the last two decades there have been many significant advances with regard to the genetics of human epilepsies. Knowledge of the mutations responsible for inherited human epilepsies not only will help in a better diagnosis and understanding of the mechanisms involved in epileptogenesis and their inheritance, but also will result in the development of better and safer antiepileptic drugs, discovery of novel therapeutic modalities, improved genetic counseling, and perhaps even prevention of epilepsies. The overall impact of these genetic discoveries across different populations and cultures will perhaps be beneficial to improving the lives of the millions affected by these diverse but common brain disorders.
