Society of Medicine's Section of Anaesthesia*

challenges of drug development—the birth of propofol”
Professor M Maze

Dr B J Pleuvry

Dr G Suntharalingam

TGN debacle"
Dr A
Bom -
"The development of Sugammadex"
[Despite
60 years of effort, the pharmaceutical industry has failed
to develop a non-depolarising alternative for
succinylcholine. However, in 1997
a new concept was discovered which might provide an even
better option: the combination of rocuronium with an
encapsulating agent, now known as sugammadex.
This combination will allow the rapid induction of
neuromuscular blockade, maintenance of blockade at any
desired level and rapid reversal of any degree of
neuromuscular blockade, including profound blockade.
Sugammadex has the potential to change the way
neuromuscular blocking agents are used in clinical practice.
In the presentation
Dr Bom will describe the discovery
of the concept, the creation of sugammadex and its
pre-clinical and clinical development.}

SECTION OF PAEDIATRICS
Presentations
Presidential Address by
Dr R Postlethwaite -
“The loneliness of the long distance medical manager”
[One
recent reformulation of the principles of the Hippocratic
Oath states that 'In the course of treatment, the physician
is obligated to the patient and no one else. He is not the
agent of society, nor the interests of medical science, nor
of his co-sufferers or future sufferers from the same
disease. The patient alone counts when he is under the
physicians care'. I will argue that this is too simplistic a
view and that this is particularly the case in a medical
system which attempts to provide care based on the needs of
the patient. This could be conceptualised as the care of
the next patient outside. Doctors must engage in
discussions about the allocation of resources and must
engage in management.]
Annual General Meeting
& Symposium
Dr D
Patel -
"Anaesthesia in young children with chronic lung disease"
Dr
P Aurora - "Lung transplantation in children with cystic
fibrosis"
Dr N J Shaw
-
“The
evidence base for treatment of chronic lung disease in
neonates”
[The mainstay of treating
established chronic lung disease in the neonate, is
maintaining oxygenation, establishing adequate growth and
minimising respiratory symptoms. Whilst in some areas there
is little to guide clinicians in managing this disease, in
others there is some evidence in the literature to inform
treatment strategies.]
The Jake
Steward Lecture by
Professor V Saha -
“Mechanisms of therapeutic
failure in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia”
Dr P
Hamilton - "Should
we have primary care paediatricians?"
[The
USA and many countries in Europe have primary care
paediatricians. In the UK we are seeing more children and
young people presenting directly to Emergency Departments
without seeing their GP. Some of our health outcomes are
not as good for children when compared to Europe. Does this
mean we should develop a system of primary care paediatrics?]

Symposium
"Endocrinology"
Mr K Gnanalingham
- Title to be confirmed
Professor S M Shalet
-
“Advances
in the understanding of growth hormone deficiency throughout
adult life”
Professor N A Hanley
- "Human
sex differentiation in utero—the
hidden art of being female"
[Paediatric
endocrine disorders, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia,
intimately tie the developing adrenal cortex to the process
of sex differentiation in human females. Our recent
work studying early development has revealed a delicate
balance to this critical aspect of female development
under normal circumstances. The results carry
implications for understanding normal human biology as well
as syndromes of female virilisation and male under-virilisation.]

SOCIETY
Joint Meeting with the Royal Society of Medicine
Symposium "Advances in our understanding and the prevention
of atheroma"
Dr F Karpe
-
"Adipose tissue: a useful organ or
just blubber?"
[Adipose
tissue is essential for whole body function and most
processes within the tissue are highly regulated such as
transport of storage of fatty acids, blood flow and
secretions of hormones. However, the dynamic properties of
the tissue are less evident in obesity and the organ is
almost becoming a liability for the rest of the body with
close associations to development of diabetes and
cardiovascular risk factors. The mechanisms underlying this
transition are still poorly understood.]

Professor
A M Heagerty
-
"Fat cells,
your arteries and your fate"
[There is
increasing evidence that the fat cells that surround our
arteries are highly active in altering the functional
properties of the circulation. When there is a breakdown in
the normal activity of adipose sites there is an increasing
likelihood of the development of diabetes and hypertension.
As our understanding of the metabolism of fat cells grows it
is clear that the balance between the generation of
inflammatory cytokines and protective hormones is finely
tuned. However, in obesity there is clear evidence that fat
cells enlarge and become hypoxic and when this occurs there
is a breakdown in this equilibrium and the inflammation that
follows is sufficient to cause a loss of circulatory
homeostasis and an interference with glucose metabolism and
the generation of accelerated atherosclerosis with the
attended risks of premature death.] |
