Open AccessP1.29 An Igf2 Receptor Gene Polymorphism Modulates Blood Pressure Trends Over Time in Type 2 Diabetes
Previous studies have associated low circulating IGFBP-2 with diastolic BP in a cross-sectional population. We examined 1) the relation between IGFBP-2 and long term trends in blood pressure in a population wi...

Open AccessP7.02 Beyond Blood Pressure: Is Arterial Stiffness Measurement the Future for Primary Care? A Pilot Study
In primary care, much effort goes into risk factor management. Early recognition of vascular dysfunction in patients should inform intervention to reduce vascular risk. Very few studies have looked at the appl...

Open AccessP2.30 Serum Fatty Acid Composition as Mediators of Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity’s Impact on Mortality
Aortic stiffness predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in essential hypertension, diabetes and the community. Potential intermediaries in this relationship include serum fatty acids (FA). We examined...

Marked differences in the IGF system that are associated with migration in comparable populations of Gujaratis living in Sandwell, UK, and Gujarat, India
We previously reported independent links between the IGF system and the development of impaired glucose tolerance and cardiovascular risk. This study tests the hypothesis that the lifestyle change which accomp...

Short-pulse, high-brightness X-ray production with the PLEIADES Thomson-scattering source
PLEIADES is a compact, tunable, high-brightness, ultra-short-pulse, Thomson-scattering X-ray source. Picosecond pulses of hard X-rays (10–200 keV) are created by colliding an ultra-relativistic (20–100 MeV), p...

The potential role of cell adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy
Cross-sectional studies have shown plasma cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) to be increased in patients with diabetes-related complications. In the first prospective study of CAMs, we have shown that plasma CAMs...

Mucin as Substrate of Enzyme Action by Viruses of the Mumps Influenza Group
In previous work from this laboratory it has been found that the action of influenza viruses on red cells can be paralleled in almost complete detail by an enzyme produced by V. cholerce1 (Stone, 1947). In the co...
