TL;DR: An expanded public resource of genome variants in global populations supports deeper interrogation of genomic variation and its role in human disease, and serves as a step towards a high-resolution map of the landscape of human genetic variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to present analyses related to the meaning of knowing the patient, and its role in everyday nursing practice.
Book ChapterDOI
Tenacious Assumptions in Western Medicine
TL;DR: The biological reductionism by which modern medicine is frequently characterized is more theoretical than actual; in its effects, biomedicine speaks beyond its explicit reductionist reference through implicit ways it teaches us to interpret ourselves, our world, and the rela-tionships between humans, nature, self, and society.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embodying illness, embodying cancer.
TL;DR: It is the social reality that is dominant here, such that informing a patient of cancer can be tantamount to social death, and nondisclosure is a major mechanism for keeping the “condemned” in this social world, and keeping death, decay, and suffering in the ‘other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disclosure practices and cultural narratives: Understanding concealment and silence around cancer in Tuscany, Italy
Deborah R. Gordon,Eugenio Paci +1 more
