Bone marrow lipofuscin.

Lipofuscins are commonly present in the macrophages of the marrow. In unstained preparations they may be confused with haemosiderin, but they are readily distinguished by fluorescence microscopy. In contrast to the belief that lipofuscins are a manifestation of senility, no age dependence has been demonstrated. Exceptionally large amounts have been found in illnesses accompanied by fever and leucocytosis, in keeping with the concept of their formation from insoluble remains of ingested cell fragments. It is probable that the ;sea-blue histiocytes', described in the literature, are macrophages laden with strikingly uniform granules of lipofuscin.

A patient education MAP: an integrated, collaborative approach for rehabilitation.

Because Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation has been faced with decreasing patient lengths of stay, increasing patient acuity, and changes in the nurse staffing mix, nurses wanted to ensure that patients and their families were receiving appropriate education and learning the skills required to provide safe and competent self-care in the home. As a result, they developed a patient education action plan. This multidiscipline action plan (MAP) involved changing from a multidisciplinary to an interdisciplinary approach toward patient and family education. This plan provides a framework that is linked to expected outcomes for education during a patient's stay, reduces the redundancy of patient education by professionals from different disciplines, and increases collaboration. Teaching modules that outline and provide all of the information an educator needs to effectively teach a patient or group of patients make up the basis for the MAP system. This article describes the MAP system and the related continuous quality improvement activities, offers documentation forms, and identifies a structural path.
