`The internet however is not the only threat, electronic information is at risk for a whole variety of reasons; natural disasters, failure of technical equipment and services, as well as from accidental and malicious acts, ' explains David Clyde, Director of Information Systems. He continues: `Investing in suitable security measures has a significant cost. It is inevitable that security concerns will consume considerable staff time, especially that of skilled IT staff, and in most cases there is likely to be additional security-related expenditure on hardware, software and services.' A common error when considering this issue is to think of security as purely a technical problem, requiring technical solutions. Often the most important parts of security are the human and organisational ones
He monoclonal antibody market represents the fastest-growing segment within the pharmaceutical industry. This sector is expected to achieve a CAGR of 14% between 2006-2012, easily outstripping the 0.6% growth rate in the small molecules market. With key products forecast to record peak sales growth and the launch of new products in the next few years, this rapid expansion is set to continue. The evolution of antibody technology has acted as a major driver of the growth in the monoclonal antibody mAb ; market, distancing today's blockbuster products from the commercially-unsuccessful murine mAbs which were the primary focus of early-stage antibody development. While chimeric and humanized mAbs currently dominate the market this technology evolution continues, as the number of fully human mAbs to reach the market increases. mAb market reaching its inflection point The mAb market was ushered into its 'take off' phase by the 1997 launch of Rituxan MabThera rituximab ; for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma NHL ; . Rituxan MabThera represented the first mAb product to succeed commercially in a high-revenue high-growth market oncology ; and provide significant enhancements in the efficacy of treatment versus existing non-mAb therapies. As a result, Rituxan MabThera rapidly became established as the gold-standard therapy for NHL and the first launched mAb product which went on to achieve blockbuster status. Buoyed by the rapid success of rituximab, mAb drug developers have proceeded to launch a raft of mAb products in subsequent years, a trend driven by advances in technology allowing for the development of mAbs with higher human composition known as humanized and fully-human mAbs ; . Fuelled by key mAb launches Avastin, Herceptin, Remicade, MabThera Rituxan, Humira and Erbitux the market is presently at an inflection point of maximum sales growth, demonstrated by absolute sales growth of almost billion forecast to be generated by mAb products between 2006 and 2009 60% of the forecast 2006-12 growth. Over this period, the rapid expansion in mAb revenues will be driven by a number of key individual product franchises recording peak sales growth and the launch of new products, such as UCB-Celltech's Cimzia certolizumab pegol ; for Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, a number of key mAb products are the subject of horizontal indication broadening strategies. This trend is expected to further enhance revenue growth. The most notable example of this strategy is Genentech and Roche's Avastin bevacizumab ; . Given its broad-spectrum mode of action it targets angiogenesis ; it can be used across a wide range of tumor types. Although by no means representing an end of mAb market sales expansion, revenue growth will begin to slow by 2012. Competition between rival mAb products will begin to slow sales growth for some franchises Humira sales growth at the expense of Remicade for example ; , while some second-generation product launches such as MedImmune's Numax ; will cannibalize sales of first-generation mAb products MedImmune's Synagis ; . Ultimately, organic revenue expansion in any market is finite and this will prove the case in the mAb segment, despite the indication broadening opportunities available for many brands. No guarantee Despite the undoubted success of mAbs, entry into the market is not necessarily a guarantee of financial success. Just five monoclonal antibody products Avastin, Herceptin, Humira, Remicade and Rituxan ; accounted for 80% of total mAb revenues in 2006. The commercial dominance of these 'big five' is expected to continue out to 2012, with the same products forecast to account for 70% of 2012 mAb revenues. Datamonitor expects that Genentech Roche will retain their stranglehold over the mAb market out to 2012, due to ownership of three of the 'big five' products. The 'big five' will also account for around 60% of absolute revenue growth 200612. A striking difference is observed between average 2006 product revenues for the big five, at .1 billion, and average 2006 product revenues for all other marketed mAbs, at 1million. These findings challenge the sweeping strategic assertion that entry into the mAb segment is a panacea for achieving high growth and high product revenues. It is clear from Datamonitor's research that only the owners of the largest products will secure the largest rewards. Analysis of the mAb market by company reveals a clear two-tiered structure. Four 'established' players sit at the top end of the market Genentech, Roche, Abbott and Johnson & Johnson each of which generated mAb revenues in excess of billion in 2006. An additional tier of four 'emergent' players Biogen IDEC, Amgen, Novartis and UCB Pharma is also evident. Datamonitor expects this 'second tier' to expand their market presence out to 2012, with each forecast to record absolute annual mAb sales growth in excess of billion over the period 2006-12. mAbs insulated from generic threat In terms of the wider pharmaceutical market, it is clear that the key factor influencing sales growth over the period 2006-12 is generic competition. Exposure to patent expiries and generic competition will underpin the tepid CAGR in sales of 2.2% forecast out to 2012. Furthermore, while exposure to generic competition will act as a notable 'brake' on sales growth over the period 2006-11, an increased intensity in generic competition known as the 'patent cliff' will drive an overall decline in market revenues over the period 2011-12, equal to a year-on-year decline of -7.3%. The 'patent cliff' will be caused by a raft of blockbuster drugs losing patent exclusivity over this short time period. Analysis of total prescription pharmaceutical sales growth over the period 2006-12 by product type demonstrates that, however, it will be small molecule drugs which are exclusively impacted by the 'patent cliff'. The emergence of biosimilar or bio-generic competition has begun, however, over the period 2006-12 this threat is only applicable to first generation therapeutic protein products. Most importantly, mAb products will remain completely insulated from the threat of generic competition over 2012, a trend owed to robust patent protection and a lack of a regulatory pathway suitable to support biosimilar mAb approvals and launches. In addition to occupying a sector of the market that is insulated from generic competition, mAbs have the advantage of primarily addressing high unmet need therapy areas such as oncology and AIID. Players that sit within the mAb segment will therefore fare better once the 'patent cliff' is reached. mAb revenues will either allow overall sales growth to continue over 2011-12 as is forecast for Roche Genentech or mitigate against the impact of the 'patent cliff' as is forecast for Johnson & Johnson.

Lifestyle changes can go a long way to reducing both hyperinsulinaemia and insulin resistance. Currently in most bookshops you will find a number of diets for treating insulin resistance with the main goal to lower or avoid all carbohydrates. Of these `low' or `no' carbohydrate diets which do result in weight loss and improved insulin resistance, the success is due to the reduced calories rather than the low percentage of carbohydrates. The `very low' carbohydrate diets less than 30% carbohydrate ; are unhealthy long term because for most people they are deficient in fibre, vitamins and minerals and too high in protein and animal fats.`Low' carbohydrate diets 40% carbohydrate: 30% fat: 30% protein ; are less unbalanced and do recommend more sensible fat content and fibre-rich vegetables. However these diets are also low calorie diets where much of the weight loss and reduced insulin resistance is due to the calorie deficit and not actually to the low percentage of carbohydrate. Other published `low' carbohydrate dietary approaches for treating insulin resistance work because of a combination of diet, exercise, motivation therapy and stress release to achieve the weight loss and reduced insulin resistance. People generally find the `very low' and `low' carbohydrate diets hard to maintain for long because of complex calculations and food restriction making it difficult both when eating at home with the family and when eating out. All too soon many return to previous eating habits and regain the weight plus more. As far as carbohydrates are concerned much of the problem is that people tend to overeat r e f and p r o carbohydrates which are usually high in refined flour, sugar and or fat. Think of what foods are available at the dairy, caf, work cafeteria, fast food outlets, petrol stations and snack bars; chips, chocolate, muffins, cookies, pies, pastries, slices, cakes, white bread sandwiches, white rolls, burgers with high fat fillings, and deep fried foods. All of these foods are high in refined flour and synvisc.

Myeloid leukemic cell growth. Recently, VEGF165 has been shown to induce phosphorylation of VEGF-R2 and induce increased proliferation of myeloid leukemic cells.17 In addition to coexpression of VEGF and its receptors, the prerequisite for autocrine loops is frequently found in lymphoma, myeloma, as well as myeloid leukemia, 7, 8, 17 suggesting that autocrine loops play a role in several other hematologic malignancies. VEGF production has been correlated with disease progression in patients with a variety of hematologic malignancies.29-31 Therefore, we were particularly interested in the ability of VEGF to alter CLL B-cell apoptosis and cell death. Since we have previously shown that CLL patients have abnormal angiogenesis in their bone marrow, 14 we did not do a similar analysis of the bone marrow vascularization in this investigation. While of interest, we also could not do correlative studies of the VEGF pathways described here and the extent of marrow neovascularization and or angiogenesis in our patient cohort. We found that addition of recombinant VEGF165 to CLL B cells can promote survival of either spontaneous or chemotherapyinduced apoptosis and cell death. While the exact mechanism of VEGF protection from apoptosis cell death is unclear, it appears to reside, at least, in its ability to induce Mcl-1. Most of VEGF survival activity on endothelial cells appears to be mediated via VEGF-R2 and includes the expression of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and A1.9 There is one report that demonstrates a negative correlation between VEGF and Bcl-2 intracellular levels in CLL B cells.32 While that may seem counterintuitive, we in fact do not find any significant change in CLL Bcl-2 levels when we add VEGF to these cells in vitro. Thus, we saw little or no change in the Bcl-2 levels or other related apoptosis family members compared with the increase in Mcl-1 and XIAP when VEGF was added to CLL B cells. In addition, we did not find phosphorylated ERK1 2 or AKT proteins even when various doses of VEGF were added to CLL B cells data not shown ; . Interestingly, VEGF has been found to prevent the apoptotic death of hematopoietic cells induced by exposure to chemotherapeutic drugs by increasing the levels of Mcl-1.33 That study also showed that overexpression of Mcl-1 in a leukemic cell line prevented or reduced the ability of chemotherapyinduced cell killing. Higher Mcl-1 levels have also been found to correlate with inability to obtain a complete remission with chemotherapy B-CLL patients.34 More recently, it was found that exposure of CLL B cells to cell lines, including a dendritic cell line, can subsequently induce enhanced apoptosis resistance by increasing Mcl-1 levels.35 Finally, the monoclonal antibody Rituximab has been reported to reduce Mcl-1 and XIAP levels but not Bcl-2 protein levels in B-CLL patients.36 Thus, the evidence is growing that while Bcl-2 is elevated in most CLL B cells, the presence of Mcl-1 appears to be critical in the survival of these cells. Any agent that can be shown to be capable of down-regulating Mcl-1 should be of interest in the treatment of B-CLL. Therefore, it would be important to evaluate by antisense oligonucleotides or siRNA the impact of down-regulation of the VEGF gene to see if specific decreases in Mcl-1 and or XIAP occur and are linked to significant increases in the apoptosis of CLL B cells. To that end, we explored the ability of a catechin, EGCG, to induce apoptosis in CLL B cells. This molecule was chosen for study because of its reported ability as a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, 19 although it has been reported to have several other anticarcinogenic functions.37 Since we found that CLL B cells commonly exhibit spontaneous phosphorylation of both VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2 and that VEGF can protect CLL B cells from cell death, a VEGF-based autocrine pathway appears to exist in CLL B cells. EGCG not only has RTK inhibitory.

After completing your run, walk for a few minutes to cool-down. It is not a good idea to sprint at the end of your run and then come to a complete stop; this practice may result in an injury. Cooling down helps to shift the blood flow from the muscles to the heart and other vital organs. A cool down lets your heart rate slow down and your body gradually return to its pre-exercise physiological state. Cooling down properly and stretching see Chapter 7: Flexibility ; after your run will go a long way towards preventing injuries.
