Warfarin Prescribing: • Systems varied - faxed warfarin-specific chart - faxed warfarin orders - phone calls from GPs - phone call from RN to GP’s secretary dose recorded on chart with a ‘post-it’ note • Common problems - faxes (misplaced or not received) - ? current orders • “If there was a standard package for dealing with nursing homes then we would go along with that and just get used to it” (GP)

The in vivo formation of fibrillar proteinaceous deposits called amyloid is associated with more than 40 serious human diseases, collectively referred to as protein deposition diseases. In many cases the amyloid deposits are extracellular and are found associated with newly identified abundant extracellular chaperones (ECs). Evidence is presented suggesting an important regulatory role for ECs in amyloid formation and disposal in the body. A model is presented which proposes that, under normal conditions, ECs stabilize extracellular misfolded proteins by binding to them, and then guide them to specific cell receptors for uptake and subsequent degradation. Thus ECs and their receptors …
