  • Circling the Eight Year Cycle March 23, 2006 by Dr
    Circling the Eight Year Cycle March 23, 2006 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young The ubiquitous public polls tell the story, and if you are Governor Ed Rendell, it’s a stark story indeed. Up for re-election for a second term, the governor’s job is in jeopardy. In the vaunted "horse race" between him and Lynn Swann, he is barely ahead of a candidate who has never sought government office before. Worse perhaps--in the polls' fine print--the percentage of voters who have a favorable opinion of him are just above 40 percent, his job approval hovers around 45 percent, and his "re-elect" scores (the proportion of voters who thinks he deserves re-election) are about 40 percent. Perhaps most problematic for Rendell is the timing: it is happening at precisely the point in the political cycle it is not supposed to happen. Under Pennsylvania’s celebrated "eight-year cycle," Rendell, as a first-term incumbent, should be entering the re-election period as a prohibitive favorite destined to win a second term just as incumbent governors or incumbent parties have for more than half a century. Why Rendell is not now the runaway favorite is worth trying to unravel--not only because it provides insight into the political career of one of the nation’s most fascinating politicians, but even more important for what it reveals about Pennsylvania’s politics and policy in these strange times. The theory of an eight-year cycle in gubernatorial politics is critical context here. It is based on an almost clockwork-like pattern established during the past half century of elections in which Pennsylvania voters have ousted the incumbent party from the governor’s mansion every eight years.

Metabolites in urine have recently been shown to provide information independent of serum metabolites. We examined the cross-sectional association of DR with a combination of serum and urinary metabolites in two Asian cohorts.Methods Serum (n=225) and urinary metabolites (n=33) were quantified using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in 1869 adults with diabetes who participated in the baseline visits (2007-2011, aged ≥40 years) of two independent population-based cohort studies (Chinese, n=581; Indians, n=1288) with similar methodology in Singapore. Diabetes-specific moderate DR was assessed from retinal photographs and defined as a level>43 using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale. Multivariate logistic regression models were constructed for each metabolite (per SD increase) adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, duration of diabetes and HbA1c. Metabolites with the same direction of association in both cohorts were selected and those achieving significance corrected for multiple testing from both cohorts were meta-analysed.Results Prevalence of moderate DR was 11.2% in Chinese and 10.6% in Indians.
