Exciting opportunity to understand new research into the causes of pressure ulcers AND EARN CPD POINTS!
For almost 20 years, Prof. Amit Gefen – Department of Biomedical Engineering, Tel Aviv University and past President of the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) – has been reviewing current thinking and conducting ground breaking research to try to better understand the causes of pressure ulcers.
In a series of two 1-hour lectures produced in association with Sumed, Prof. Gefen explains his research and fascinating conclusions which, he believes, can lead to increased 'safe-seating' time.
Once you've watched both lectures, simply follow the instructions to print out your self-certified CPD certificate.

ROHO lecture series – on the road again!
Another successful series of lectures around the country working with ROHO.
We were delighted to host a very well attended series of lectures in Salford, Warrington, Preston, Staffordshire and Dunstable last week. Darren Hammond, Senior Director of The ROHO Institute for Education, delivered thought provoking presentations on the causes of pressure damage followed by practical hands-on sessions, to multi-disciplinary audiences, including OTs, physios, TVNs, district nurses, rehabilitation engineers and community therapists.
Many thanks to both Darren and all the delegates for a really super week.

Sumed are proud to announce the arrival of the new Roho® Hybrid Elite™ Cushion. As its name suggests, it is a superior wheelchair cushion that combines the superb skin protection and shape matching ability achieved through utilisation of Roho® Dry Floatation technology with the stability of Jay® base technology. This new cushion design allows for improved pelvic alignment and stability for improved position and function whilst maintaining optimal immersion and envelopment of both the ischial tuberosities and greater trochanters.
The Roho® shape fitting cushion insert has been specifically developed for critical pressure redistribution around the pelvic area, providing the superior skin protection that Roho® is renowned for. Simply adjust the cushion insert to fit the user's shape in order to minimise tissue deformation and maximise blood flow.
The customised Jay® contoured foam base provides alignment and control for both lower extremities and the pelvic area. It also offers maximum skin protection by hydrostatically loading the ischial tuberosities and the posterior shelf of the greater trochanters for those users who are at high risk of breakdown. A dual valve option on the inserts allows for additional customisation to match the users specific shape and correct asymmetry if required.
Sumed is offering FREE product demonstrations so that you can see and experience the Roho® Hybrid Elite™ for yourself. The Roho® Hybrid Elite™ cushion range will be available from 1st April, so secure your demonstration by ringing us on

The end of November was a busy time for the Sumed Sales team as they delivered a series of roadshows up and down the country in conjunction with the Roho Group.
Aimed at Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Rehabilitation Engineers working in the wheelchair services and Nursing staff involved in pressure relief management, each of the five events saw a packed audience, enthralled with the days' events. The November 2009 roadshows, FREE to all participants, were delivered to The Northants Wheelchair Services, Havering Wheelchair Services, Cross Service/Multiservice in Derby, Stockport Wheelchair Services and the a cross sectional team which included the NHS Community Equipment Centre, in Portsmouth.
Delivering a broad spectrum of disciplines, topics covered in each of the roadshows included
The entire process of a seating assessment, including a basic skin integrity assessment.
Demonstration and discussion of the physical/mat assessment.
The biomechanics of seating and how it links to the seated posture & seating interventions to alleviate pressure damage and affects functionality.
Case Studies on assessment, seating interventions and outcomes.
Practical seating and positioning session using the Roho Group positioning products and the X-sensor™ pressure mapping system.
Representing the Roho Group was Bart Van der Heyden, the Director of European Training and Education, who later commented 'I really enjoyed working with you all and it was inspiring to see the enthusiasm everyone had for ROHO products!'. With over 14 years in the seating and positioning field, he has gained his vast knowledge after having worked in Belgium, Germany and the USA.
The ever popular and effective Roho Airlite™ cushion range has been re-designed and relaunched with a comprehensive range of sizes – all at very competitive prices!!
Renowned as a name that offers stylish lightweight cushion solutions for the more independent client, the Roho Airlite™ is a contoured cushion with integral air pockets contained in the sacral region of the cushion. Requiring no adjustment, the Roho Airlite™ will give good levels of pressure relief for your clients, up to moderate risk levels. The contoured shape provides a comfortable and stable position and the full range of sizes means that a cushion solution is now available for the majority of wheelchairs.
From 36cms x 36cms up to 51cms by 46cms, we are also able to offer bespoke sizes to suit the individual requirements of patients.
News Story from 2009 Case Study Still Available
Jackie Stephen-Haynes, the eminent Consultant Nurse and Senior Lecturer in Tissue Viability for Worcestershire PCT and University of Worcester recently completed a case study on the implications for Clinical Practise when using Roho™ Dry flotation technology.
The paper covers the causes of pressure damage and the cost of treatment which is estimated at £1.4 to £2.1 billion every year which equates to a massive 4% of total NHS annual expenditure. (Bennett et al, 2004)
The prevention of pressure ulceration requires a multi-factor approach which includes risk assessment, re-positioning, nutritional assessment/management, continence management and the use of pressure relieving equipment. However it is important to note that pressure ulcers are considered to be largely preventable.
Risk assessment and the provision of suitable pressure relieving equipment are the two essential components in preventing pressure damage.
There are a multitude of different equipment approaches which can appear be daunting to the clinician. Roho™ products offer unique solutions that can help with positioning, comfort and pressure reduction and range from a toilet seat cushion, recliner cushion, sacral support cushion through to Roho™ heel boots, to offer focused protection and promote wound heeling.
A significant part of the study also concentrates on the Roho™ Mattress range and the benefits they can offer to the user.
Ms Stephen-Haynes article is substantiated by evidence based research which is well documented within her case study

Time to catch up!!!
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Seems like my life has been a whirlwind of activity lately!! I spent the weekend before last with my friends in Clarkston. Worked thru the week and weekend and had today off but spent it traveling to the eye doctor 80 miles away. Not real great news from him as he told me I have the beginning of cataracts.
The nicer part of it I have about twenty years before I have to do anything about it!!!
Weigh in was this morning and I am still holding steady at 230 but definitely have not been dedicated to my health so I am surprised that it has stayed that way for three weeks! I ordered the spark Solution yesterday so maybe that will be the motivation I need right now to get going again!
My youngest daughter and I went to watch my grandsons spring concert tonight and the music teacher asked everyone to stand and place their hand over their heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance!!
I have to say it was quite a nice surprise as that does not happen in many schools these days!
My oldest daughters friend lets us borrow and use his pick up while he is in Alaska working and she is so disrespectful to him it makes me sick. We (all three of us--youngest daughter, oldest daughter, and I) had been putting bags of yard debris in the back of the pick up to take to the dump. Well we found out Sunday (the dump is only open on Sat and Sun until 4) evening that he will be here sometime tonight to get the pick up for his use while he is here visiting. She was not going to clean out the back of the pick up she was just gonna leave it for him to either deal with or have to haul it around all week!! WTF????
I got home from my errands and concert and took out the four very large bags of yard debris and a couple of fence posts and other small items and she had the balls to tell me that she didnt do it because it would have been just to much work for her!!! HUH???? And on top of that she laid in bed all day and watched TV and I did the housework when I got home!! She really makes me angry sometimes!!!
Yesterday I called about the job I had applied for and they will be making a decision by the end of the week!! Just a few more days and I will know my fate!! LOL!!
Well all I had better get to bed it is back to work in the morning!!

to hear the report from the eye doctor - however, the good news is that it isn't a pressing condition.
I am praying God's will for you concerning the possible new employment.
God bless!

You've had your plateful! I, too, have just been told that I have the start of cataracts and wonder what that will bring. I wish you luck with the job. I hope you take some time out for yourself.

We passed a very good stay. Host very nice and very warm welcome. Clean housing! Thank you
Small room with shared kitchen and bathroom. You share with 3 other rooms! This should be marked at the description!!! For the money we paid is a joke. Wouldnt recommend. It was a mistake to book it. You can find much better places to stay with private bathroom for this money.
Valentina's place was spacious, clean, quiet and private. We enjoyed our time there, was nice to chill out and watch TV after a day at the beach or exploring the city. It's an easy 10 minute walk to the popular nightlife spots, about 15 minutes to the bus station and waterfront. Valentina was also very helpful, offering great advice on the best places to eat, drink, go out and how to get around (buses etc). Would definitely recommend!
Valentina is very helpful and nice! We came in later than expected and she was very easy to contact. We were on very low sleep and she was still patient with us. In all, the apartment is a great value, it's right in the middle of everything, the bed is comfortable, it's well equipped, and clean. I would recommend to anyone coming through Santander.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The photo's and description to this room are not entirely accurate. Both the host and her mother live in the apartment, and the room was about 12 sq.m with a single bed. The apartment is refurbished, clean, very nice and bright and Valentina is a helpful and friendly young woman.
The location is very good, there are several supermarkets and a traditional Spanish market just around the corner. Public transport is close by as well, there are many buses to the beach area, plus it is not far to the train station.
The building has an elevator.
The stay was very pleasant me. The room spacious and welcoming, with light and little noise. In the center, very close to everything and with much commerce around.
Valentina, very friendly.
La estancia me resultó muy agradable. La habitación amplia y acogedora, con luz y poco ruído. En el centro, muy cerca de todo y con mucho comercio alrededor.
Valentina, muy amable.
The accommodation was really good. Great central location, clean and a nice hostess!
Die Unterkunft war wirklich gut. Super zentral gelegen, sauber und eine nette Gastgeberin!
Absolutely beautiful appartment and a very beautiful and comfortable room with a huge bed, TV and dining table. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and everything is very well kept. We didn't manage to meet Valentina but did meet her mother who was super kind and really helpful and took really good care of us. It's right in the centre of Santander, 10 minutes from the central bus station and within walking distance to teh beach and al the cafes and bars.
Great stay!
We are a couple in our journey traveling through southern France and Andorra decided to take a break for one night in Santander, back to Galicia, where we live. To stay in Santander chose to do it at home and her mother Valentina. It was an excellent stay, room very spacious and beautiful, like the rest of the house. Our hostess was Valentina, who was waiting with his mother, and could not have better hosts, they made us feel right at home. It was a shame that our stay was only one night, hope to stay in the future in this welcoming and beautiful home.
Somos una pareja viajera que en nuestro viaje por el sur de Francia y Andorra decidimos hacer un alto de una noche en Santander,de vuelta a Galicia,donde vivimos.
Para alojarnos en Santander optamos por hacerlo en casa de Valentina y su madre. Fue una estancia inmejorable,la habitación muy amplia y bonita,como el resto de la casa.
Nuestra anfitriona fue Valentina,que nos esperaba junto con su madre,y no podíamos tener mejores anfitrionas,nos hicieron sentir como en nuestra casa.
Fue una pena que nuestra estancia fuese solo de una noche,espero volver a alojarme en un futuro en esta acogedora y preciosa casa.

There are times in every season that a football team meets with success or adversity and often it seems to be simple changes that dictate how the side copes with either.
For Bromsgrove Rovers under Rod Brown, 2 seasons ago the FA Cup game at Eastwood Town was a turning point.
Coming back from 5 – 1 down to draw 5 each and win the replay had a galvanising effect on the squad and saw them go on to win promotion in the league.
I believe this was due, in no small part, to a confidence born that day which meant that no matter how big the challenge Rovers players knew they could meet it.
Having suffered defeat in that FA Cup game might also have been a turning point for Eastwood Town as they have never looked back and as well as being in the Unibond Premier chasing the title they find themselves facing Kettering in the third round of the FA Cup this season.
Which brings me to another point. Eastwood have had momentum since that time and have continued to progress.
Regrettably, Rovers somehow lost the momentum of that promotion season and ended up back in the Midland Division.
Worse still, Rovers have lost so much momentum that they currently look like an average side in the Midland Division with only an outside chance of making a place in the play-offs.
Bedworth manager Liam O'Neill said recently that there are 6 sides in this division capable of competing for the top and another six who should be safe in the top half, away from trouble at the bottom.
I agree with Liam but it strikes me that Rovers should be one of those top 6 sides and not languishing in mid-table.
There may be a glimmer of hope in a season where Rovers have struggled to score goals with the unearthing, albeit probably accidentally of new striker Nathaniel Waite.
To be in the top 6 a side needs someone who can score 20 goals a season and Nathaniel might just be it for Rovers.
The other "top 6" side struggling for a goal scorer this season has, surprisingly, been Chasetown but as Charlie Blakemore has now signed Luke Reynolds they may have found their answer.
Let's hope Rovers have found theirs with Nathaniel although, he is much more than just a goal scorer.
There are few players at this level who can hold the ball up so well and bring other players into the game.
We haven't seen it at Bromsgrove since Paul Szewczyk left a few seasons ago.
It was sad to see recently that it appears "Shevvy's" football career is over due to a recurrence of the injury that plagued him over the last couple of seasons.
So we wait to see if Rod can get that momentum going and Rovers can make the play offs by the end of the season.
It will be good if they can but to be honest, for a club of Rovers size that should be a minimum requirement.
We need to get out of this division upwards and stay up.
Whilst the Premier is tougher and we contrived to fail to remain in it last season it really shouldn't be difficult to finish mid-table in another division that splits into the "haves and have nots".
The difficulty for Rovers is probably that in this division we can give an appearance of being one of the "haves" whilst in the league above we've only shown as one of the "have nots" against big budget teams like Halesowen and Corby.
Looking at things logically, if Leamington can go and win 15 out of 16 and draw the other one, there is no reason Rovers can't go on an unbeaten run and deliver what the fans deserve, a minimum of a play-off position.

You can call Shannon Briggs crazy if you want. You might have a case, but I say that Shannon Briggs is crazy like a fox. With two recent first round knockouts over hapless opponents in a span of eight days and two "attacks" in the past month on world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko "The Cannon" as he is known just might get the title shot he so covets.
Briggs, fresh off another first round kayo win on Saturday night, crashed the press conference Tuesday morning at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dusseldorf, Germany in which Klitschko and his Australian challenger Alex Leapai were hyping their Saturday title fight. Much like his first verbal assault which took place at a gym in Hollywood, Florida where both men train, Briggs again went on a tirade and rather than throw his shoe at Klitschko, he threw his T-shirt.
It was a scene straight out of a Rocky movie. Rocky III to be exact, when Clubber Lang played by Mr. T showed up at the unveiling of Rocky Balboa's statue on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Briggs stormed into the hotel ballroom Tuesday and began ranting and raving just as he did last month in Florida about how he was the "last American heavyweight champion" and that Klitschko has been "fighting nothing but bums"
In this day and age it is a strategy that just might lead to a title shot for Briggs. He began fighting again on April 11. He scored a first round stoppage win on that night and then again this past Saturday. At age 42, he appears to be in great condition as he continually posts shirtless photos of himself on Instagram and Twitter. Whether that bodybuilder physique translates into boxing condition is another matter entirely, but the man at least looks good.
The last time Briggs was in a ring prior to this month was Oct. 2010 when he met Wladimir's brother Vitali for the Ukrainian's WBC heavyweight title. Briggs lost every one of the twelve rounds, suffered a broken jaw, torn bicep and wound up hospitalized for several days. Now three-and-a-half years later he has zeroed in on Wladimir for a perceived slight which took place outside the gym in Florida where they both train.
Briggs has stated that he will follow Wladimir wherever he goes in the world in order to goad him into giving him a shot at the championship. Briggs fought in Minnesota Saturday night and was in Germany Tuesday morning so it seems he is making good on his intention. Rather than fighting his way into a legitimate contender position, it seems Briggs' plan is to get under Wladimir's skin to such a degree that he agrees to a bout simply to shut Briggs up.
It appears as though Wladimir may just be incensed enough to agree to a Briggs bout. It's actually a coy strategy and a quick way for Briggs to dig himself out from the financial hole he has found himself in over the past several years. Briggs claims he wound up with virtually nothing but empty pockets from the Vitali Klitschko fight and with legal judgements garnered against him from a former publicist ($420K) and a University of Miami football player whom he pounded in a bar brawl ($2MM) it would seem that Briggs could be in need of money.
If the fight ever does happen, chances are Briggs will find himself in the hospital again - but at least he'd get his place in the sun, a few more of his 15 minutes of fame as well as a big paycheck. There are lots of folks that would like to see it happen and more than likely it would fill a stadium in Germany where Klitschko is extremely popular. Briggs has proved he is an excellent salesman and his thespian endeavors in Bad Boys II and Transporter 2 are serving him well in this role as a real-life Clubber Lang versus Rocky Balboa.

Most victim advocates are familiar with the role of the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE), but many may not know about the unique work of a forensic nurse examiner (FNE). This webinar aims to increase understanding about the work of FNEs and collection of evidence in domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and other crimes. Through this webinar victim service providers and other participants will become familiar with the importance of the medical forensic exam for DNA collection in crimes other than sexual assault and why having such trained examiners is important to survivors.

From the temple to the beach
Sicily | The Italian Mediterranean island Sicily does not only offer summer, sun and lovely beaches but also many cultural highlights. A compulsory point on each itinerary for a Sicily vacation are the countless testimonies of past times that a spread out across the island. Some examples include the world famous "Valley of the Temples" in Agrigent with the structures more than 2,500 years old and are testament of Greek settlement on this island during the ancient times. Besides this also well preserved remains of antique structures can be visited in Syrakus oder Catania which are equally appealing.
Those who need to cool down after these historical adventures will find many places to do so along the more than 1,000 kilometres of coastline. In the north and east you will mainly find steep cliffs and rocks towering above the sea with a number of picturesque bays lying in-between them. The southwestern part is flatter and characterised by beautiful beach strips.
Sicily has though much more to offer than just temples and beaches. Explore some of the interesting smaller and larger towns such as Palermo, Messina, Ragusa, Trapani or Taormina. Alternatively go on a boat tour that will take you to the Aeolian Islands and Aegadian Islands or Malta that is also not that far away.
atraveo has a selection of more than 2,800 holiday apartments and houses. Some of the most popular places for a holiday home vacation include Gioiosa Marea, Sciacca, Scicli, Giardini Naxos, Trappeto and Marina di Modica.
Dancing on a volcano
Sicily is not only the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea but also has the highest and most active volcanoes in Europe – Etna that you can explore up close on your vacation to Sicily. There are a number of guided hiking tours offered that take you to summit craters, lava fields and places where eruptions occur frequently. You should not miss out on this exciting tour. The hikes usually take place between mid May until the end of October. But one must be careful: It is important to remember the Etna is still an active volcano. Inform yourself when there of the present dangers and options to explore the area in one of the many information centres.
Those who want more volcanic action will not want to miss out on guided tours to the Volcano Islands Volcano and Stromboli situated north of the coast of Sicily. Particularly the very active Stromboli offers a great spectacle as one can observe eruptions of red lava nearly every minute or hour. Both islands are part of the island group Aeolian Islands and there are regular connections from Messina and Milazzo.
If you have now become fascinated by volcanoes then you might want to pop over to the mainland and explore Mount Vesuvius in the Bay of Naples which is another famous volcano. It is by no means as active as those on Sicily though it is not extinct and there is speculation whether it could erupt again soon. The potential devastation such an eruption could cause can be seen in the famous ruins of the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum that were engulfed by lava in 79 AD. A visit to Mount Vesuvius could be incorporated within journey to and back from a holiday home vacation on Sicily. There are regular ferries that operate between Naples or Salerno and the Sicilian ports of Palermo and Catania.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
To Be Misunderstood
December 1, 1996 |
First, I really enjoy the show. Now for my question; I am a French major at the University of Arkansas and I have been having a constant fight with my mother about whether or not I have any hope for employment in "The Real World." Does anybody have any idea what someone could do with a French degree? I would hate to have to concede defeat to my old mother.
Mark Harris
Maurice the Maitre'd replies: Eh, Monsieur Marque Arris of Arquansois, you are on the right track exactly. The question is not "What can one do with a French degree?" but rather "Whatever would one do without it?" To learn French is to open a door and enter a civilized culture that gives one profound inner satisfaction regardless of career. Pity the poor English majors who spend years of their lives on a language of shopkeepers. You are a poet, sir, and a philosopher. Tell your dear mother that to speak French is to be misunderstood, and forgive her shortsightedness.

Scabies is a skin infection caused by a very small insect-like parasite called a mite.
Scabies is spread by direct skin-to-skin contact with a person already infected with scabies. Mites can be transferred from clothing/bedding or personal belongings that were used immediately beforehand by the infected person. Scabies is highly contagious and is not related to gender, race, socioeconomic level or personal hygiene.
The scabies mites lay their eggs just under the skin surface. The person may have no symptoms and then they typically begin to feel an intense itchiness, which is often worse at night. Tiny burrows or a rash often accompanies the itchiness. The most common site for the rash to appear is the webs of the fingers, wrists, elbows, breasts, genitals, abdomen, back and buttocks.
Secondary skin infections can occur from scratching the infected areas.
Symptoms may take 4-6 weeks to begin for a person who has never been infected. If a person has had scabies in the past, symptoms appear within several days. You do not become immune to scabies.
Mites need the human body to survive, once they are away from the human body, mites do not survive more than 48-72 hours. When living on a person, an adult female mite can live up to a month.
Contact your physician for specific treatment. There are many different creams/lotions that can be obtained through pharmacies.
Exclude from daycare/school/work until 24 hours after the start of effective treatment. All clothing, bedding, and personal belongings, such as towels used by the infected person within the last 48-72 hours, should be laundered on the hot cycle of the washer and dryer. For any items that can not be laundered place in a plastic bag for a week. It is not necessary to disinfect items such as mattresses and furniture. Following treatment, itching may persist for a few weeks. Rash may take a few weeks to fade.
Anyone who is diagnosed with scabies as well as anyone who has had close, prolonged contact with the infected person should be treated.

I love when resort items start to arrive for pre-order online. As much as I personally prefer the type of dressing that cold weather requires, there's just something so jubilant and lively about spring footwear, and resort is often springier than spring itself. Originally, resort was meant to clothe and shod the well-heeled on their tropical winter vacations, but now it's just the first sentinel of the next part of the dressing cycle; the red-breasted robin of the fashion industry.
Resort shoes have started to arrive in earnest at all my favorite online retail haunts, and designs like the Brian Atwood TriBeCa Sandals are turning my head left and right. Spring is coming. We just have to get to (and through) winter first. So tell me – when warm weather finally arrives (or when you chase it down for a holiday vacation in a batter climate), what would you pair with these shoes?
If you'd like to play this game in real life, pick up your own pair for $1695 via Neiman Marcus.

A project to install more conventional and compact shelving in the John Crerar Library has begun. The additions are critically needed because the Crerar stacks, holding about 1.45 million volumes, are now more than 80% full, which is the traditional benchmark for a facility that has reached its functional capacity. Both the Chemistry Library and the Eckhart Library (mathematics, statistics and computer science) are completely full and have begun regular transfers to Crerar, exacerbating the shelving problems there.
Conventional shelving is being added in second and third floor stacks. Seating arrangements in the center of the floors were relocated to accommodate the shelving units. Assuming the collections will continue to grow at rates consistent with the last five years, the new shelving will provide each floor with approximately one year's additional growth space.
When Crerar was constructed the lower level was designed for publicly accessible, compact, mobile aisle shelving. Approximately 70% of the compact shelving was installed originally. The remainder of the space was used for controlled storage and staff functions. As part of the current project an additional 21,000 linear feet of compact shelving with a capacity of approximately 175,000 volumes will be constructed. At current rates of growth this represents slightly more than eight years capacity.
White Systems Inc. has been awarded the contract for the new compact shelving. The installation will be designed to blend in architecturally with the existing shelving but will have many advanced features. An infrared safety detection system will be used rather than mechanically activated sweeps to insure user safety, although we haven't lost a single reader in fourteen years in the existing system. The carriages will move more quickly and the electronic aisle controls are more sophisticated.
The installation of the compact shelving should be completed by summer and should cause minimal disruption for library users. Crerar staff are planning collection shifts to make the best use of the added shelving capacity. The cost of the project has been supported by a bequest from the Estate of Carl V. Wisner and other Library resources.
For more information, contact Kathleen Zar, Science Librarian, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 702-7469, or Tom Dorst, Regenstein Reconfiguration Project Manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 702-4772.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Teri Brentnall, M.D., of the University of Washington, reported the discovery of a gene, which, when mutated, causes pancreatic cancer in families. This discovery may allow for earlier detection of the disease as well as for intervention in patients who are at a high-risk because two or more members of their family have the disease. It also has promising implications for better understanding the sporadic instances of pancreatic cancer that occur in the general population.
"One of the most devastating aspects of pancreatic cancer is that far too often it is detected after it has spread. Dr. Brentnall's discovery of this gene opens up promising new avenues of research regarding two of the most important objectives in the fight against pancreatic cancer—early detection and treatment," says Robert Vizza, president of The Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, which provided funded in the early stages of research.
Dr. Brentnall's team suspected that a certain gene was responsible but they did not know which one. Dr. Brentnall and the team first identified a family (Family X) with extremely high occurrences of pancreatic cancer and, therefore, a seemingly genetic disposition toward the disease. They then developed new methods for detecting the disease at its earliest stages.
This not only allowed them to detect precancer—something previously impossible through old screening methods—it also allowed them to determine which family members carried the lethal gene. By comparing the DNA profiles of the individuals in the family who had precancer to those who were disease-free, Dr. Brentnall discovered that a certain gene, called Palladin, when mutated, is responsible for causing pancreatic cancer.
