Compact room control for critical environments: SAUTER ASV 215Category: Media releases
The new VAV compact controller from SAUTER, designed for the high demands of the life sciences field, unites all critical controlling functions in one device. The SAUTER ASV 215 – combined with the fastest integrated valve actuator of any compact air-volume controller – is a world's first.
Sealed rooms like those used in the field of contemporary life sciences place ever higher technical demands on regulatory components and cannot be controlled by conventional systems. Multiple control loops and devices are often needed to handle all the functions. SAUTER developed the new ASV 215 VAV compact controller to unite every function into one device and optimise their co-ordination with the stringent controls of critical life sciences applications in mind.
All in one
Besides controlling volume flow, the SAUTER ASV 215 VAV compact controller also regulates higher-level room functions such as room pressure. Installation and commissioning couldn't be easier. Plug-in terminals make connecting the device a snap. No programming is required for start-up thanks to the integrated software. The compact design of the SAUTER ASV 215 requires minimal space. This means less work commissioning, storing, planning and servicing and a drastic reduction in project processing times and costs.
The SAUTER ASV 215 can operate as a stand-alone controller or be integrated into higher-level building automation systems via BACnet.
Guaranteed precision
The SAUTER ASV 215 guarantees utmost precision in maintaining necessary controls for regulating room pressure, fume cupboards and laboratory controls in all critical applications.
The actuator motor's remarkably fast running time of only 3 seconds makes the SAUTER ASV 215 the only compact VAV controller in the world with this high speed. It is therefore suitable for any critical environment – from laboratories and clean rooms to operating theatres or hospital wards.
The VAV compact controller from SAUTER can be expanded with operating devices such as the SAUTER FCCP 200 for displays and operation and integrated into an overall building automation system with a SAUTER ecos504 room controller, for example, therefore providing comprehensive and energy-efficient room and fume-cupboard control.
As a leading provider of solutions for building automation technology in Green Buildings, SAUTER provides pleasant conditions and a sense of well-being in sustainable environments. SAUTER is a specialist in developing, producing and marketing products and systems for energy-efficient total solutions, and offers a comprehensive range of services to ensure the energy-optimised operation of buildings.

Making the whole commit bogus and wrong.
I did ask on ksummit-discuss beforehand. The advice was to treat hh:mm:60 as hh:mm:59 rather than hh:mm+1:00. Unless we actually support leap seconds as distinct time_t values, it has to be one or the other. > The code did the right thing wrt leap seconds before, without having > any magical and incorrect special case. That commit makes it instead > have two seconds of xx:xx:59. ... as opposed to two seconds of xx:xx+1:00. You can argue it either way - and arguably both are equally wrong since neither maps correctly to reality. > The fact that people add extra code to make things extra wrong is > annoying.

I only asked James to pass the CVE-labelled commit on to you and didn't include it in a patch series. The rest I posted hoping for reviews. > To make things EVEN *more* broken, this crap was marked for stable. It will theoretically need to end up there anyway, since it is technically possible for the bugs to prevent a kernel from booting - just not very likely. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Getting rid of those pesky adjectives in your writing
Ever been caught by your writing taking on a life of its own? Words not coming out the way you want, adjectives slipping in and -ly endings abounding?
You're not alone. It's a common problem, especially near the beginning of the learning curve. And yes, writing is a learned skill like any other. It takes as much practise to get good at it as it does to become a concert pianist.
I often think one of the hallmarks is the way writers inevitably seem to drop adjectives as their experience increases. This steady de-purpling is fairly standard progression for writers as they learn, and one of the reasons why it happens is that the writer is more comfortable with the expression of the scene in their own minds. It isn't necessary to qualify every detail with an adjective in order to feel they've properly conveyed it for the reader.

Short and Sweet Advice for Writers – Start in the Middle (In Medias Res)
Image from an excellent post about presentation story structure by Ffion Lindsay
Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end, right? Right.
But, no one ever said they always have to be told in that order.
Sometimes, the best place to start your story is smack dab in the middle, or even at the end.
In fancy-schmancy literary terms, this is called in medias res, a latin expression which basically means "in the middle of" or "in the midst of." Writers of all kinds (literary, film, tv) use the in medias res technique to capture and hold the reader's attention right from the first word. By dropping readers into the middle of the action, without any explanation or exposition, the writer can quickly and easily pull them deeper into the story.
Some people refer to this technique as cutting all the "throat clearing" or "small talk." If…

Top writing tip – go for a walk
You know that feeling when you've written yourself into a corner in your blog post, presentation, thesis, or another type of document? Here's a tip that's helped me often to get past the corner: Go for a walk!
Take an energetic stroll. In the bush, on the beach, whatever suits you. Don't consciously think about the problem in your document. If your brain comes up with a thought, toy with that thought in a semi-interested manner. Follow where it goes. Be open to its consequences even if they involve throwing away an entire section of your presentation, redoing some research, changing the direction of your thesis.
The thing is, your subconscious is probably right. Often, it's bringing to the surface a feeling that you've had for a while. That niggling worry that something's not quite right with the document, but you haven't had time to go down the rabbit hole of investigation, or are…

I will write until not a single word remains in my soul
I will write until not a single word remains in my soul. Until every story in my heart has been told. Until my mind's well of ideas is bone dry. And even then I will write on, because writing is not just something I do, but part of who I am.
Is Blogging Worth the Effort?
Deborah Lee Luskin
Is blogging worth the effort?
I wonder.
It's coming up on a year since I launched my new website and blog, revamped my author page on Facebook, and started to tweet. It's time to review.
I set out to post an essay every Wednesday. Fifty-two blog posts later, I want to evaluate what have I gained, and at what cost?
There's definitely been good that's come from posting weekly.
- I've posted every Wednesday but once, when I posted that Thursday.
- Almost all my posts have been new essays; I've reworked previously published work less than a handful of times.
- I'm proud of producing so much original work, and mostly pleased with its quality.
- Thanks to a hard-learned lesson about intellectual property rights, I've also started to take my own photos. It's been a lot of fun to reactivate the visual part of my…

5 Things Writing A Comedy Blog Series Has Taught Me #writer #amwriting
Back in September I decided to create a weekly comedy blog series 'The Diary of Roxy Collins'.
The character of Roxy Collins has actually been sat in my writing folder fora couple of years (poor girl!). I don't think its uncommon for writers to have spare characters sat in writing folders, waiting for their opportunity to come alive. My writing folders are like waiting rooms and my head is like a packed commuter train.
I thought it was time I did something with the character of Roxy and not leave her to fester any longer. She was created during my 'chick lit' years when I binge read anything fun, romantic and sparkly. During this emotional reading time of my life I found myself wanting to read about a different sort of character, a comedy heroine who wasn't so glamorous, trendy and leading a jet setting lifestyle.
Cue the creation of…

Owning a home is a fulfilling and sometimes overbearing thing to do. A big choice many homeowners have to make is whether or not to live in a neighborhood with an HOA. HOA stands for Homeowner's Association, something that many places with commercial property management utilize. Let's look at the pros and cons of living within one.
There are many benefits of staying within an HOA. One is the appearance. Since all homes in the area must follow appearance guidelines, you can rest assured that you will live in a neighborhood that is pleasing to the eye and clean. They are low maintenance, as services such as trash and snow removal are covered. Many have great amenities such as trails, pools, and community centers.
HOA's also have downsides. One of the biggest ones is the cost. While it does vary, all HOA's charge an annual cost to cover things such as upkeep of the area. The rules set by them also are not favorable to many people who would like to make their house stand out. Not being able to have a certain kind of fence or fly their favorite flag may make some users choose to opt out of an HOA.
HOA's are a service that can help to make a neighborhood more inviting, but can also be costly and restrictive. Make sure to look at the pros and cons of them before choosing whether to live in an area with an HOA or not.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/11/2009 (2846 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
EDMONTON -- Controversy raged Wednesday over the decision to release H1N1 vaccine to Calgary Flames players and their family members, as an Alberta health authority employee was fired, and the scandal grew to include a farm team for the NHL club.
The province's health authority announced it had fired the most senior staff member involved in the decision to give the Flames players and relatives the vaccine while many Albertans considered to be at high risk for contracting the virus, including small children, continued to be unable to get shots.
Meanwhile, it emerged that members of the NHL club's top minor league farm team had also received early shots.
"Like most Albertans, I am deeply offended that this circumstance has occurred," said a statement signed by Ken Hughes, Alberta Health Services' board chairman, and Stephen Duckett, the authority's CEO.
The statement was specifically about the firing of an employee identified as the most senior staff member involved in the Calgary Flames vaccination decision.
"AHS board and management have a fundamental commitment to serve all Albertans according to their needs, in medical priority. This circumstance was a clear departure from that principle. We set the expectation that this should not have happened and should not happen again," the statement said.
The name of the dismissed staff member was not released.
The scandal also moved west, as B.C.'s chief medical health officer blasted a decision to vaccinate members of the Abbotsford Heat, an American Hockey League team affiliated with the Flames.
Dr. Perry Kendall said a doctor's decision to vaccinate the hockey team against H1N1 was inappropriate and against provincial guidelines. He said there has been no directive to give priority vaccinations to professional or amateur sports teams ahead of those more at risk and he will be speaking with the doctor involved.
"I'd love to say it was an Alberta vaccine and it was a rogue doctor," Kendall said. "It was a recommendation by the team physician. I'm going to have a discussion with him, saying it wasn't appropriate."

The Golden Era
Peter Miller
(1939-2014) was an automotive fine artist
par excellence.
He once said this about art:
"It takes over your life, but makes life worthwhile. Real painting comes out of love; everything else is unimportant."
Born in Colne, Lancashire, this artist's sublime, atmospheric oil paintings were created over a period lasting almost 60 years. Miller had over 30 one-man exhibitions in the UK and USA. In 1997 he received the Richard A. Teague Award
"for the artist whose work best exemplifies the expression of the automotive spirit."
Despite this exposure and award for his extraordinary work, this modest artist remained little known in the automotive art world. Notable artists now laud his stylish work when shown:
"A unique and lovely style." "Nothing short of glorious." "Really beautiful style." "Fantastic!"
Miller's trustees have entrusted Car Art to help bring his automotive art to a global audience online, giving it the wider recognition he deserved.
"had a long ambition to own a Rolls-Royce,"
which he fulfilled in 1964 when only 25 years of age: a 1929 fabric-bodied 20/25.
"I always had a passion for old 'odd' cars. Big creaking Austins, a beautiful SS Jaguar, Rileys, MGs and Alvis."
Other Rolls-Royces were bought and sold over time: three from the 1930s as well as a 1949 Silver Wraith.
His personal affection for Rolls-Royces and Bentleys of the 1920s and 1930s inevitably led to artistic portrayal. From 1992, Miller became inspired to capture the Golden Era that these magnificent cars personified. Their coachwork epitomized the grace and elegance of the inter-war period in England. He went on to complete over 650 paintings of these legendary marques that built the best cars in the world.
Miller sought to evoke a mood, a sense of time and place, and let pictorial elements speak for themselves. Working with passion and intensity, he aimed to create wonderful themes; not merely pictures of cars. Nevertheless, the cars are typically rendered in detail and the backgrounds more impressionistic, with tones of color sepia and sometimes splashes of the vehicle's color.
Check this page in the months to come if you wish to see Miller's original paintings, or call Peter Aylett at +949-443-0500 for details.

Builder grade windows significantly reduce the cost of your windows, but expect a dramatically decreased lifespan. For that reason, I generally recommend that homeowners that are planning on staying in their homes for several years, install 'homeowner grade' windows that will stand up to daily use and last as long as you own your home.

Be still my heart
She stands.
It won't be long now until she's cruising, and from there walking.
I've finally finished the Five College Sweater. After giving it some thought I've realized I've been affiliated with five colleges over the years.
Junior College
West Virginia University*
Summer Opportunity at UCSD
Summer Opportunity at UCI
Cal State University Long Beach
The previous dog and pony show (hopefully) served as a distraction from my craptacular finishing techniques. I'll redo the sleeves 15 pounds from now when the sweater fits. My perception of what I thought would fit me when I cast the sweater on at 8 months pregnant is worlds away from my actual size 8 months post pregnancy.
If you've missed my legion of posts on the matter I lost the pattern for the Five College sweater in the early days of Maya's life. It was lost, tucked away in some baby literature of some sort or another, never to be seen again. I decided to finish the sweater without the pattern. I'm damn proud of the results and it's given me renewed confidence in my abilities. The experience has also spurred my interest in other traditional sweaters. Expect more traditional knits in the coming months.
I've still got many more San Juan Mission photographs I'd like to share.
*In the interest of brevity I'll keep it short today by saying today I feel like the back end of that horse, but not because I partied too much as an undergrad.
Posted by Carrie K on Aug 24, 2007
Oh no! She's growing up so fast!
That sweater looks fabulous! You finished it without a pattern????
Posted by Annie on Aug 30, 2007
She's adorable! I can't believe you finished that sucker without a pattern!! You ROCK.

"Runaway Locomon" is the first of two Digimon TV movies set in the Tamers era. The gang plans a surprise party for Rika, but our favorite Digimon Queen is a little more upset than usual. We find out she's the way she is because her dad left her years ago. Now, the Tamers must do battle with a loose train Digimon while trying to cheer Rika up.
This episode/movie has several highlights, but the biggest is Rika's "Promise" song. Melissa Fahn (the voice of Rika) is truly magnificent in this scene, as not only do we get some insight on why Rika acts the way she does, but we also get one of the greatest anime songs of all time.
So, in conclusion, "Runaway Locomon" is recommended especially for Rika fans like myself. Just make sure to get the tissues ready when you get to the "Promise" sequence.

in pursuit of fitness and health, i've been doing my best to always eat healthily, sleep well, and train as hard as i can. however, it may be hard for one to keep track and see significant results of any efforts, unless they make solid goals, and fulfill those commitments as best as they can.
last year, i had already been determined to join Penang Bridge International Marathon, 21km. sadly, being an amateur without an accurate idea of how one should prepare, i just threw myself right into the deep end, bit off more than i could chew and came out limping with runner's knee.
i still wanted to join PBIM 2011, and hoped against hope that i would recover in time. as the date of the race neared and no signs of my injury abating, i made my decision. though perseverance is good, there are times when one has to know the difference between foolishness and the former. therefore, with head over heart, i opted out.
nevertheless, i never stopped believing that i would make a full recovery, and one day be able to complete a half marathon. even though i was injured, i was still able to walk, and i did just that - i walked all through out my injury, because it was not about conquering a half marathon, it was more than that. it was about conquering the person i had once been, the former me who would not have been able to do it and replacing her with a brand new, stronger, more confident, girl. someone with and an ironclad desire to grit her teeth through pain and still fight for what she wanted.
PBIM came and went, and although i did not compete, i learned invaluable lessons. i learnt how to appreciate what i had - the fact that i had a capable body, i learnt patience, tolerance, and perseverance. i have now healed, and although my injury was an inconvenience, i am grateful for it. for how else would we get stronger if not by overcoming challenges in our path? how else would we better ourselves if we do not face hardships and difficulties and learn how to rise above them?
people say good things come to those who wait, but i beg to differ ; that is not how it always is.
i think that more often, good things come to those who GET UP and WORK THEIR ASS OFF to earn it. i did not sit around just hoping and wishing that i were fitter, slimmer, or faster. i put my sweat and soul to earn what i have now. you call me conceited, arrogant, whatever suits your fancy. but honestly, it won't bother me in the least.
- from my highest weight i have lost approximately 12kgs, i now weigh about 49kgs.
- although i have decreased in weight i have packed on lean muscle, my current muscle mass stands at 30% of my whole person.
- i have whittled down my body fat to less than 20% and still am on my way down, i plan on getting to 15% and staying there.
- i can run more than 22km in a day, and still plan on doing more than that.
call me boastful? i see nothing wrong with being aware of what i have achieved. nevertheless, although i do feel that what i have achieved is significant in measure, there is still more, so much more that i can do. this is not a quest in vanity to be skinny or attractive. it may have certainly started out that way, when i was unhappy and uncomfortable with my appearance at a time. but it is not that way any longer - this is a lifelong journey for a healthy body, mind and soul.
on the 24th of june, i will be running 21km in the Standard Chartered KL Marathon. i hope to achieve at least a target of 2:30hrs. i will be simply elated if i manage to do that! however, should i not make the stipulated time, the main thing is that i do my best, and finish the race.
if you are interested in joining as well, all you have to do is go to the KL Marathon website and sign up! registration closes at the end of may, but you should sign up now while there is still ample time.
what are you waiting for?

Eliciting the Requirements Luigi Rega, PMP® Consultant at Reply IIBA® Italy Chapter Secretary 28 February 2014
Eliciting the Requirements - Just 3 Ws 1. What is the «elicitation»? 2. How is the elicitation performed? 3. Why eliciting requirements? 28/02/2014 ELICITING THE REQUIREMENTS 2
What the elicitation is: definition • The verb «to elicit» comes from Latin: Elicio (elicio, elicis, elicui, elicitum, elicere) Italian tr.: «tirar fuori, trarre, far uscire, dedurre da» • English definition: To elicit: to evoke or draw out, to draw or bring out for forth, to bring to light, to draw forth into existence 28/02/2014 ELICITING THE REQUIREMENTS 3
What we mean by eliciting the REQs • More than just gathering requirements 28/02/2014 ELICITING THE REQUIREMENTS 4
What we mean by eliciting the REQs • More than just gathering requirements • There is a «need to actively engage the stakeholders in defining requirements» • Often stakeholders don't have a clear picture of their requirements • Different stakeholders may have conflicting requirements • Eliciting requirements is not an isolated activity 28/02/2014 ELICITING THE REQUIREMENTS 5
Requirements Elicitation - Just 3 Ws 1. What is the «elicitation»? 2. How is the elicitation performed? 3. Why eliciting requirements? 28/02/2014 ELICITING THE REQUIREMENTS 6

Prototyping - not only to test/show • Prototypes can be used in early phases of the project to elicit requirements • GoogleTM Labs: a playground where […] users can play around with prototypes of some of our wild and crazy ideas and offer feedback directly to the engineers who developed them. • PalmTM Pilot: the first successful PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) started its development by… a wooden prototype! • • • • • iGoogle Google Maps Google Docs Google Groups … Computer History Museum, Mountain View CA 28/02/2014 ELICITING THE REQUIREMENTS 9

Of course we are not going to see any headlines on
the death rate from toxic drugs which unlike nutrients, which are
curative, drugs in the main, are only palliative
at the best.
Naturally the study did not bother to track all the deaths that
should be attributed, to the disease masking and toxic drugs among
the supplement takers!
This is simply to further the pharma agenda that started with the
Australian Pan Pharmaceutical debacle which like this study
has more to do with fear mongering and nothing to do with watching
out for our health...
One only has to look at: Comprehensive
Nutrient Review to alley any doubt in what these nutrients can
do>. I defy you to find such a breath taking array of benefits
from drugs! Is it any wonder then why the vested interested keep
attacking nutrients, even at the risk of losing their already low

An IAHF subscriber in Germany who has chemical sensitivities and
who will die if she loses her access to healing nutrients called
this UK INDEPENDENT newspaper article called "Vitamin Use May
Increase Death Rate of Users" to my attention today. [see it
below my comments along with my letter to the editor complaining
about it.]
Today I have seen very similar muck raking yellow journalism articles
about the outrageously biased LANCET study (see below) in newspapers
all over the world.
In my complaint to the Editor I reference Patrick Holford's excellent
scientific rebuttal to the LANCET article (see Holford's hard hitting
review below).
I urge you to send your OWN letter to the editor of the INDEPENDENT
at firstname.lastname@example.com
to join me in complaining about this irresponsible, unbalanced "journalism."

Subject: To the Editor- re "Vitamin Use May Increase Death
Rates of Users"
To the Editor:
The Lancet article referenced by health editor Jeremy Laurance
in his piece "Vitamin
Use May Increase Death Rate of Users" is one of the most
biased supposedly "scientific" articles I've ever seen.
Enclosed is Patrick Holford's interpretation which I'm strongly
inclined to agree with especially because my LIFE was saved via
orthomolecular medicine, a suppressed alternative treatment mode
involving the use of dietary supplements after mainstream medicine
almost killed me over 20 years ago. The well meaning physicians
who nearly killed me had a near total ignorance of clinical nutrition
because of the influence pharmaceutical companies wield over medical
Increasingly we're seeing outrageously biased, supposedly "scientific"
articles against dietary supplements in mainstream medical journals
because their publishing costs are underwritten by full page glossy
advertisements for patented pharmaceutical drugs which cost millions
to put through the FDA's approval process, and the last thing
these drug companies want is COMPETITION from non patentable natural
substances which help people stay healthy, and AWAY from hospitals
and doctors who have a "business
with disease."
In addition to Holford's analysis of the Lancet article in question
I'd like to refer Mr.Laurance and your readers to Gary Null, PhDs
well researched article DEATH
BY MEDICINE which puts things a lot more in perspective
Null documents from data gathered in peer review medical journals
that 783,936 iatrogenic drug deaths occurred in America last year
making the use of prescription drugs the leading cause of death
in America today with the equivalent of a 747 full of people crashing
and burning from toxic drug reactions every day of the year.
For some perspective on the relative dangers posed by prescription
drugs compared with dietary supplements see this

Antioxidant Cancer Trial Shows BENEFIT Not Harm
A study, published in the Lancet currently, on antioxidants and
gastrointestinal cancer, is being claimed to indicate that antioxidants
don't reduce risk, and may even increase cancer risk. However,
experts in nutrition and cancer say the study shows nothing of the
In my opinion this is one of the most biased and unsubstantiated
reports on antioxidants I've ever read. If you look at the
actual results of this supposed comprehensive analysis of research
you will see that the only really significant finding in a considerable
reduction in gastrointestinal cancer risk with selenium supplementation.
Overall, it shows that antioxidant supplements reduce the risk of
oesophageal cancer, have little effect on pancreatic or oesophageal
cancer, and slightly increase the risk of gastric cancer. Overall,
the clear trend is towards protection, not harm. I believe this
is an underestimation of the prevention power of antioxidants because
this claimed comprehensive analysis of research excludes some very
well designed positive studies, such as a trial of 864 people with
a history of colorectal adenomas, by the National Cancer Institute
(1). The participants were given either 25mg of betacarotene and/or
both 100mg of vitamin C and 400mg of vitamin E, versus placebo.
While there was approximately a halving of recurrence of colorectal
adenomas in those who took either the betacarotene or vitamin C
and E or both, there was a modest increase in cancer recurrence
among those who only took betacarotene supplements and both smoked
and drank alcohol every day. Why was this trial excluded? Perhaps
it didn't give the results the researchers wanted.
The final table in the Lancet study, which is the only one showing
a small negative overall effect on mortality (the difference between
1 in 14 cancer patients on antioxidants, versus 1 in 15 cancer patients),
was arrived at by removing any positive studies on the grounds of
'low methodological quality', leaving only 7 studies
out of the original 167 studies! Of these studies, one is quoted
as showing a massive increased risk. Without this study there is
no such effect. However, this study actual showed the exact opposite.
The study in question, Correa et al (2), published in the Journal
of the National Cancer Institute, gave people with gastric cancer
either beta-carotene, vitamin C or anti-Helicobacter Pylori treatment
(gastric cancer is increasingly being thought to be initiated by
H.Pylori infection, not antioxidant deficiency). All three interventions
produced highly significantly improvements, causing substantial
regression of gastric cancer. The authors conclude "dietary
supplementation with antioxidant micronutrients may interfere with
the precancerous process, mostly by increasing the rate of regression
of cancer precursor lesions, and may be an effective strategy to
prevent gastric carcinoma." (see abstract below).
So, how could this study bias the results towards increased mortality?
For the simple reason that six people out of 368 treated with antioxidants
died, many of whom were smokers, compared to none out of 117 people
treated with anti- H.Pylori treatment died! The most logical explanation
for this finding is that, by virtue of participating in this trial,
these patients were excluded from taking anti- H.Pylori treatment,
which is highly recommended for gastric cancer. It is highly unlikely
that the antioxidants had anything to do with it. The authors of
this study make no reference to the possibility of antioxidants
increasing mortality risk, instead concluding that both beta-carotene
and vitamin C reduce risk.
A review of the Lancet study (also published in the Lancet) by
David Forman and Douglas Altman of the Centre for Epidemiology and
Biostatistics says "The mortality analysis in this review
does not offer convincing proof of hazard." In my opinion
this is the most atrocious piece of biased number crunching, and
I'm surprised that the Lancet published it. The funding source
for this trial should be seriously investigated, just to check it
is not as biased as the rhetoric. Drug companies have a lot to gain
by discrediting nutritional treatments and I have no doubt that
there is an orchestrated campaign under way to do just this.
I certainly won't be stopping my daily antioxidant supplement,
although I wouldn't advise heavy smokers to supplement beta-carotene
on its own. I would advise people wanting to reduce their cancer
risk to supplement 50 to 150mcg of selenium, together with other
antioxidant nutrients."

BACKGROUND: Previous research has identified a high risk of gastric
carcinoma as well as a high prevalence of cancer precursor lesions
in rural populations living in the province of Narino, Colombia,
in the Andes Mountains. METHODS: A randomized, controlled chemoprevention
trial was conducted in subjects with confirmed histologic diagnoses
of multifocal nonmetaplastic atrophy and/or intestinal metaplasia,
two precancerous lesions. Individuals were assigned to receive anti-Helicobacter
pylori triple therapy and/or dietary supplementation with ascorbic
acid, beta-carotene, or their corresponding placebos. Gastric biopsy
specimens taken at baseline were compared with those taken at 72
months. Relative risks of progression, no change, and regression
from multifocal nonmetaplastic atrophy and intestinal metaplasia
were analyzed with multivariate polytomous logistic regression models
to estimate treatment effects. All statistical tests were two-sided.
RESULTS: All three basic interventions resulted in statistically
significant increases in the rates of regression: Relative risks
were 4.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.6-14.2) for anti-H. pylori
treatment, 5. 1 (95% CI = 1.7-15.0) for beta-carotene treatment,
and 5.0 (95% CI = 1.7-14.4) for ascorbic acid treatment in subjects
with atrophy. Corresponding relative risks of regression in subjects
with intestinal metaplasia were 3.1 (95% CI = 1.0-9.3), 3.4 (95%
CI = 1.1-9.8), and 3.3 (95% CI = 1.1-9.5). Combinations of treatments
did not statistically significantly increase the regression rates.
Curing the H. pylori infection (which occurred in 74% of the treated
subjects) produced a marked and statistically significant increase
in the rate of regression of the precursor lesions (relative risks
= 8.7 [95% CI = 2.7-28.2] for subjects with atrophy and 5.4 [95%
CI = 1.7-17.6] for subjects with intestinal metaplasia). CONCLUSIONS:
In the very high-risk population studied, effective anti-H. pylori
treatment and dietary supplementation with antioxidant micronutrients
may interfere with the precancerous process, mostly by increasing
the rate of regression of cancer precursor lesions, and may be an
effective strategy to prevent gastric carcinoma
