RAP measures the oscillation of a resonating quartz crystal, which decreases in proportion to the mass of the molecules binding to its surface. Proprietary electronics and algorithms generate measurements, which provide binding information on biomolecular interactions. RAP measures materials that physically bind to the crystal and is unaffected by solvents. Researchers interrogate and evaluate the data using RAP id workbench software. The system is flow based and generates kinetic, affinity, and concentration measurements from mixtures such as cell culture supernatants and periplasmic extracts. A stand-alone automated platform, RAP id 4 typically processes an average of 400 samples per day.

Because most of the caregiving literature focuses on the female caregiver, there is some question about the generalizability of such literature to the male caregiver. This report focuses on male caregivers of spouses with AD and represents a subsample from a larger descriptive study that examined the relationship between risk factors and the health status of spousal caregivers. Twenty-nine male caregivers affiliated with Alzheimer's organizations in Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada, returned mail surveys. On average, physical health symptoms increased by one-third when comparing pre- and post-caregiving data. Caregivers also were experiencing moderate to severe depression and burden. Male caregivers generally rated their physical health as fair to excellent and exhibited fewer than expected physical health symptoms. Caregiver health was related to perceptions of stress surrounding the provision of activities of daily living (ADL) assistance, the frequency of behavioral problems, perceptions of stress associated with the AD spouse's dysfunctional behaviors, and satisfaction with leisure opportunities. The identification of the role that caregiver perceptions of stressfulness associated with caregiving and the need for leisure satisfaction offer important implications for community-based education and respite services to maintain health status for spousal caregivers.</p>","PeriodicalId":15087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomolecular Screening","volume":"12 1","pages":"167-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10833828/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87384563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
