  • The Angus Care Model
    THE ANGUS CARE MODEL Let’s keep the conversation going Thank you for your interest in the development of the Angus Care Model. During week beginning 16 October 2017 people from across Angus attended drop-in information sessions held in Forfar, Carnoustie, Montrose and Arbroath. These events gave locals the chance to talk to health and social care professionals. Our conversations focused on the challenges facing services, the opportunities for change and how we can together build a future Angus Care Model that provides the best possible care to the most people possible. The majority of people (85%) who attended the meetings found them helpful and informative. Whilst a small number of people commented that they would have preferred a formal meeting, people (94%) overwhelmingly felt that they had been given an opportunity to comment and offer their opinion. When arranging future meetings we will take account of people's suggestions and improve the way we raise awareness about the meetings. We were asked to share the information that was on display. In addition to talking to staff and have many of their questions answered, we also invited people to write down questions and leave comments. We have done our best to answer as many of the questions as possible. Please take some time to consider the information contained below and get involved in the conversation by completing a short survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WDFV53D or by contacting us on [email protected] We look forward to continuing our conversation with you in the very near future.

    F MCMANUS and others Changes in plasma steroids 224:2 149–157 Research measured by LC–MS Plasma steroid profiling and response to trophins to illustrate intra-adrenal dynamics F McManus, R Fraser, E Davies, J M C Connell1 and E M Freel Correspondence should be addressed Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow Cardiovascular Research Centre, to F McManus 126 University Place, Glasgow G12 8TA, UK Email 1College of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing, Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, University of Dundee, Frances.McManus@ Dundee DD1 9SY, UK glasgow.ac.uk Abstract The importance of corticosteroids in cardiovascular and other chronic disease is recognised. In Key Words addition, plasma steroid precursor-to-product ratios are useful and convenient indirect " adrenal indicators of efficiency of key steroidogenic enzymes (aldosterone synthase, 11b-hydroxylase " corticosteroid and 17a-hydroxylase). The use of liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry " enzyme (LC–MS/MS) has enabled measurement of numerous corticosteroid compounds simultaneously. However, normal responses to trophins and variation in salt intake are not well described. This study examined these parameters in a large group of healthy volunteers. Sixty normotensive volunteers were recruited and underwent infusion of angiotensin II (AngII) and ACTH, following low- and high-salt diet. Measurement of plasma steroids at baseline and 30 min after infusion of Journal of Endocrinology trophin was carried out by LC–MS. As expected, plasma mineralocorticoid levels increased in response to salt restriction and were suppressed with salt loading; ACTH infusion increased all corticosteroids, while AngII increased mineralocorticoids and suppressed glucocorticoid production. ACTH increased S:F but decreased DOC:B, thus the S:F ratio is a more appropriate index of 11b-hydroxylase efficiency.

One of the most gratifying pieces of news to have been published over the past two months involving the University of Dundee was the Times Higher Education Survey of Student Experience which came out in mid-February. According to the opinions of our students, we are ranked the fifth best institution in the UK and the top University in Scotland in terms of the quality of our student experience; a measure which includes an assessment of the subject matters.......13 teaching quality, the structure of provision, welfare support as well as social factors such as the Students’ Association and sports facilities. Whilst one should always be cautious about the weight one gives to opinion polls and league tables of this kind, Dundee has nevertheless performed consistently well in this type of survey over recent years. It is my view that this Dundee best student experience in Scotland underscores the value we place on making sure our students are at the heart of our institution, but more importantly shows that our students think so, too. The University has been ranked top in Scotland and fifth in the “DUSA play an important role in the student experience, providing a As we move through difficult times we should take not a little comfort from this performance; UK in the recently published Times Higher Education Student central hub on campus with excellent social activities and valuable it proves to some extent that we are getting things right: our teaching staff are engaged and Experience Survey.
