Online Informa Tion: the Question for Management

Management Education and Development (1988)

Bob Norton Angela Haddon

The practical utility and exploitation of the fast -growing information industry has yet to make a widespread impact on management and business. Until the mid-1980s information specialists remained the main vehicle for the research and dissemination of published information on any large scale. However, investment and research in electronic information delivery from commercial online databases is now leading to new phases of development which can carry information direct to the user in all its promised immediacy. The current situation and the promise of continuous simplifying improvements have an important message for the decision-maker.

Behçet's Disease and Hypopituitarism: A Possible Link

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry International Journal of Laboratory Medicine (1994)

Mourad Labib Angela Haddon J P Delamere

Behcet's disease is a chronic inflammatory multisystemic disease incorporating a vasculitis which affects mucous membranes, skin, eyes, joints, central nervous and cardiovascular systems.' We report a patient with Behcet's disease who developed hypopituitarism due to pituitary atrophy. We propose an association between Behcet's disease and pituitary atrophy which, to our knowledge, has not hitherto been described.

HbA_1c predicts the likelihood of having impaired glucose tolerance in high-risk patients with normal fasting plasma glucose

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry International Journal of Laboratory Medicine (2005)

Tarekegn Geberhiwot Angela Haddon Mourad Labib

Background: Although the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the 'gold standard' for diagnosing prediabetes/diabetes, it is inconvenient for the patient and time consuming. The only alternative simple screening test is fasting plasma glucose (FPG). FPG concentrations of >6.0 mmol/L represent prediabetes/diabetes. FPG concentrations of 6.0 mmol/L may be considered 'normal', although some such patients will demonstrate abnormal glucose tolerance when subjected to an OGTT. We have evaluated the use of glycated haemoglobin (HbA 1c ) as a screening test for diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in patients who have risk factors for diabetes but FPG ≤6.0 mmol/L. Methods and results: A total of 580 patients with at least two risk factors for diabetes underwent an OGTT and HbA 1c measurement. In all, 225 patients had a FPG ≤6.0 mmol/L and met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 23.1% ( n=52) had an abnormal OGTT result (45 had IGT and 7 had diabetes). Subjects with abnormal glucose tolerance had a higher percentage of HbA 1c than subjects with normal glucose tolerance ( P<0.001). An HbA 1c of 5.6% gave an optimal sensitivity of 72% and specificity of 77% to predict a 2 h plasma glucose ≥7.8 mmol/L. Conclusion: The use of FPG concentration followed by selective measurement of HbA 1c in patients who are at high risk of developing diabetes may represent a reasonable approach to identifying patients requiring an OGTT.
