This article is the fifth in a series, Supporting Family Caregivers in the 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System, published in collaboration with the AARP Public Policy Institute as part of the ongoing Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone series. The 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility) is an evidence-based framework for assessing and acting on critical issues in the care of older adults across settings and transitions of care. Engaging the health care team, including older adults and their family caregivers, with the 4Ms framework can help to ensure that every older adult gets the best care possible, is not harmed by health care, and is satisfied with the care they receive.The articles in this series present considerations for implementing the 4Ms framework in the inpatient hospital setting and incorporating family caregivers in doing so. Resources for both nurses and family caregivers, including a series of accompanying videos developed by AARP and the Rush Center for Excellence in Aging and funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, are also provided. Nurses should read the articles first, so they understand how best to help family caregivers. Then they can refer caregivers to the informational tear sheet—Information for Family Caregivers—and instructional videos, encouraging them to ask questions. For additional information, see Resources for Nurses.
The distribution of Coomassie blue-stained proteins from uninvolved regions of 4 human livers, from 1 hepatocellular carcinoma, and from 4 samples each of uninvolved colon, primary adenocarcinoma of the colon, and colon cancer metastatic to the liver was analyzed by two-dimensional protein electrophoresis. From a comparison of acidic proteins between pI 3.5 and 6.5, we conclude (1) that the majority (66 of 82) of denoted acidic proteins from 4 normal liver samples were represented in the hepatocellular carcinoma. Fifty-one of 58 proteins denoted in the 4 colon samples were detected in each of the 4 primary colon cancers; (2) that the "normograms" of proteins from normal colon and normal liver differed in many details, and their dissimilar patterns identified the source of the sample; (3) that hepatoma and primary adenocarcinoma of the colon were easily distinguished by their distribution of proteins; (4) that colon cancer metastatic to the liver contained a majority (50/58) of acidic proteins enumerated in primary colon cancer. These results indicate that uninvolved liver and colon and their primary or secondary cancers can be identified by their distribution of electrophoresed acidic proteins.
