Diabetes Risk Factors Develop Earlier in WomenPosted: Thursday, March 22, 2007
The "diabetes clock" may start ticking in women years in advance of a medical diagnosis of the disease, new research has shown.
Epidemiologists at the University at Buffalo have found that newly identified risk factors for diabetes found in the blood, such as markers of endothelial dysfunction, chronic sub-acute inflammation and blood clotting factors, are present early on in women who eventually progress from normal glucose status to the pre-diabetic condition.
Pre-diabetes is diagnosed when blood sugar levels are higher than normal (between 100-125 mg/deciliter of blood), but not high enough to indicate full-blown diabetes (over 125 mg/deciliter of blood). The markers weren't associated with progression from normal to pre-diabetic status in men.
"This is one of the first reports to show that otherwise healthy women are more likely than men to show elevated levels of endothelial factors and other markers of progression to pre-diabetes," said lead author Richard Donahue, Ph.D., professor of social and preventive medicine and associate dean for research in UB's School of Public Health and Health Professions.
"Because these pre-diabetic markers are not routinely assessed, and because diabetes is strongly linked with coronary heart disease, the study may help explain why the decline in death rates for heart disease in diabetic women lags behind that of diabetic men," he said.
"Previous research had shown that hypertension and cholesterol were elevated among women who later developed diabetes. However, current findings that these novel risk factors [markers of endothelial dysfunction, chronic sub-acute inflammation and blood clotting factors] are elevated among women even earlier than previously recognized does suggest that the 'diabetes clock' starts ticking sooner for women than for men."
The study involved 1,455 healthy participants originally enrolled in the Western New York Study, a case-control investigation of patterns of alcohol consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease conducted from 1996-2001. In the current study all participants were free of pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and known cardiovascular disease. They received a physical examination when they entered the study and again for this six-year follow-up.
Standard measures -- height, weight, waist girth, blood pressure -- were taken, plus blood samples to determine concentrations of fasting glucose and insulin, specific proinflammatory markers, C-reactive protein and markers of dysfunction in the endothelial tissue, the tissue lining blood vessels.
Results showed that 52 women and 39 men had progressed from normal blood glucose levels to pre-diabetic status during the previous six years.
Donahue suggested that women whose blood glucose increases over time, even if it doesn't reach diabetic levels, should be screened more intensively for cardiovascular disease.
Karol Rejman, Lisa Rafalson, Jacek Dmochowski, Ph.D., Saverio Stranges, M.D., Ph.D., and Maurizio Trevisan, M.D., all from the UB Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, contributed to the study. The research was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Georgiades presented the findings at the American Psychosomatic Society annual meeting in Budapest, Hungary.

Chemotherapy With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Stage IB, Stage II, or Stage IIIA Non-Small Lung Cancer That Was Removed By Surgery
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This randomized phase III trial is studying chemotherapy and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared to chemotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IB, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that was removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving chemotherapy together with bevacizumab after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

|Official Title:
|A Phase III Randomized Trial of Adjuvant Chemotherapy With or Without Bevacizumab for Patients With Completely Resected Stage IB (> 4cm)-IIIA Non-Small Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to death, assessed up to 10 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary comparison will be an intent-to-treat analysis including all randomized patients. The study design incorporates a group sequential testing plan using a truncated O'Brien-Fleming boundary function at an overall one-sided significance level of 0.025 for assessing the stratified logrank test at each interim analysis. The O'Brien-Fleming group sequential boundary adjusts for the sequential testing and the use function methodology of Lan and DeMets 1 will be employed to adjust the boundaries if the actual interim analyses do not correspond with the projected information times provided.
- Disease-free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to an event, assessed up to 10 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Intent to treat analysis per randomization will be conducted. Kaplan-Meier estimates of DFS will be calculated3. The comparison will be assessed by using stratified log-rank test.
- Toxicity as assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year post-treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]If the difference in the rate of a particular category of toxicities between the 2 arms (N=750 per arm) is at least 5% (4% vs. 9%), 96% power can be attained assuming a significance level of 5% (two-sided Chi Square test) and that the lower toxicity rate for one arm is 4%. A difference in the rates of grade 3-5 arterial thromboembolic events (ATE) and bleeding events will be monitored and assessed between the treatment arms.
- Correlation between VEGF and ICAM expression and clinical outcomes (OS and DFS) by gene expression analysis and immunohistochemistry [ Time Frame: From baseline to up to 15 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Stratified log-rank test to assess whether the difference in the expression level of VEGF/ICAM predict survival at each time-point will be used. A Cox regression model to further determine how VEGF/ICAM expression levels predict survival outcome controlling for other important covariates such as treatment type, age, gender, stage, performance status and smoking status at each time point. Longitudinal techniques will be used to assess whether the ICAM expression levels in the blood differ in the two treatment arms over time
- Correlation between smoking status and OS assessed by the Smoking Status Survey [ Time Frame: From baseline to up to 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Descriptive and summary statistics will be conducted on the smoking questionnaire data.

Detailed Description:
I. Compare overall survival of patients with completely resected stage IB (tumors ≥ 4cm)-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer treated with adjuvant chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab.
I. Compare disease-free survival of patients treated with these regimens. II. Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients. III. Perform analyses of tissue and blood to establish factors that predict clinical outcome in patients treated with these regimens.
IV. Determine whether smoking status is linked to outcome in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to type of chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine ditartrate vs cisplatin/docetaxel vs cisplatin/gemcitabine hydrochloride vs cisplatin/pemetrexed disodium), stage (IB vs II vs IIIA [N2] vs IIIA [T3, N1]), histology (squamous cell vs other), and gender. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I (adjuvant chemotherapy without bevacizumab): Patients receive 1 of 4 chemotherapy regimens.
REGIMEN 1: Patients receive vinorelbine ditartrate IV over 10 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on day 1 immediately following vinorelbine ditartrate administration.
REGIMEN 2: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and cisplatin over 1 hour on day 1 immediately following docetaxel administration.
REGIMEN 3: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on day 1 immediately following gemcitabine administration.
REGIMEN 4 (non-squamous histology only): Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 immediately following pemetrexed disodium administration.
In all regimens, treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II (adjuvant chemotherapy with bevacizumab): Patients receive chemotherapy as in arm I. Patients also receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment with bevacizumab repeats every 21 days for up to 1 year. Patients complete smoking status questionnaires at baseline and then every 3 months during study treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 10 years.

Every Monday through January we'll be posting an exclusive excerpt from Glory Days: Springsteen's Greatest Albums, which analyzes eight of Springsteen's most groundbreaking albums and then argues which one should be considered "the greatest." This week, a selection from the chapter on The River:
The beauty of Springsteen's approach with The River is the way it allowed him the canvass to juxtapose rambling rock 'n' roll shout-outs with quieter studies of the human condition … and somehow make them work together toward an even greater whole.
Of course, even more jaunty songs like "Hungry Heart," Springsteen's first top-10 single, deal with real-life issues like isolation and abandonment, but several of The River's tracks delve deeper and resonate more powerfully. The first of those, "Independence Day," feels almost mournful as it kicks in to close the album's otherwise raucous first side. A sort of mirror image of "Adam Raised a Cain," its narrator half-sings with a tired resignation, offering a moving declaration of freedom from the darkness that can haunt fathers and sons.
It's a similar darkness that can haunt husbands and wives as well, as we find out on the album's classic, timeless title track. Based on Springsteen's own sister, it's the story of a teenage couple wed after an unplanned pregnancy – "no flowers, no wedding dress" – and the crushing fallout that follows.
The narrator's desperation is underscored by Springsteen's whining harmonica, and it eventually culminates in what may be Springsteen's most disconsolate lyric: "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?" That line alone cements the album's place in Springsteen's canon.

The Library of Birmingham
The Library of Birmingham is now open in Centenary Square.
New website
The new website is now live at libraryofbirmingham.com. This will be a taste of things to come online.
Latest News will now be posted on the new website at
As The REP celebrates one hundred years of theatre-making its story will be brought to life through its centenary project, REP 100. The archives of Sir Barry Jackson and Birmingham Repertory Theatre, currently held at Birmingham Central Library, will be made available to the public for the first time.
Musical gems discovered at Birmingham Central Library
Preparations for the move to the new library have uncovered what could be the UK's largest collection of silent movie scores, including a unique Charlie Chaplin theme tune. The collection, most of which belonged to movie theatre Musical Directors Louis Benson and HT Saunders, consists of 500 scores and parts for use with silent movies. It is representative of the entire oeuvre of silent movie music between 1915 and 1929, the golden age of the silent movie, and reveals what audiences at the time were listening to. Find out more about the Silent Movie Score Collection.
Self Portrait Birmingham
New self-portrait project to take snapshot of Birmingham's people.
One of the original architects behind the 1979 Handsworth Self Portrait project, Brian Homer, is calling for people across Birmingham to submit their own self-portraits to help create a snapshot of the city's people in 2011. Called Self Portrait Birmingham, the project was commissioned by Birmingham City Council as part of the new library project. Find out more about Self Portrait Birmingham.
Designs for the library
The library will be situated on Centenary Square between the The REP (Birmingham Repertory Theatre) and Baskerville House. The project will make a huge contribution to the regeneration of the city, creating 250 new construction jobs including 25 apprenticeships.
The library building will be joined to The REP at ground and mezzanine levels and will share the foyer, bars, restaurants and a new 300 seat studio theatre.
The large entrance canopy welcomes the visitor into the building which is characterised by circles - an amphitheatre below Centenary Square, the interior overlapping rotundas and on the outside the delicate filigree circles , inspired by the city's tradition of craftsmanship and industry.
The journey through the building will be by escalators and travelators giving the visitor a constantly changing view lit by natural light. The design incorporates two outside terraces with magnificent views.
The library will be a cultural centre drawing visitors from all over the world and a second home for the city's diverse communities. It is designed to be highly accessible to all - everyone will feel welcome and comfortable. It will be a community hub, reaching out to all parts of the city in an exchange of knowledge and ideas . . . a place to interact, a place to learn, study and a place to meet and take part in activities and events for families, businesses, groups and individuals of all ages. New technology will enable the city's photographic and archive collections to be viewed and shared much more widely.
Mecanoo - the design teamThe design team for the project is led by Mecanoo, an architectural practice which has received many awards and accolades for their stunning and innovative work.
Mecanoo's director and founding partner, Francine Houben, is an outstanding architect who was recently voted Dutch business woman of the year because of her entrepreneurship, vision, business and social influence and leadership. Francine and her team have been working with the City Council on the project since August 2008.
