The role of the nurse in rehabilitation.

Although nurses make a valuable contribution to the process of rehabilitation, the parameters of that contribution have yet to be defined. This article describes a small study, undertaken on a care of elderly people ward, designed to elicit nurses' understanding of their role in rehabilitation. Interdisciplinary relations and patient care, the authors conclude, would be improved if nurses were taught, and developed the confidence, to implement rehabilitation techniques in practice.

Distal myopathy with focal granular degenerative change in vacuolated type 2 fibers.

A slowly progressive distal myopathy with raised blood (CK) level commencing in the second decade was associated with large vacuoles found only in type 2 fibers. The vacuoles consisted of sarcoplasmic spaces without limiting membranes, containing granular and fibrillar material. This material probably represented degenerative products derived from myofibrils. A distinction is drawn between these degenerative vacuolar changes and those reported in other cases of sporadic or hereditary distal myopathy in which autophagic vacuoles are characteristic.
