It will run in parallel with another tamoxifen trial which began recruiting volunteers earlier this yea, and aims to see if the drug can prevent breast cancer in healthy women with a family history of the disease. This earlier trial ran into ethical problems because of the risks of giving healthy women such a potent hormonal drug. Women with breast cancer are needed for a four-year study of the drug tamoxifen, a successful preventive treatment for the disease, which is believed to be responsible for the recent fall in the death rate. The Cancer Research Campaign yesterday launched an appeal for 20,000 women to take part in “probably the most ambitious cancer trial ever undertaken”, writes Liz Hunt. The NEC needs to be fully informed about the reports they have received.”Before meeting Mr Prescott, Mr Church said he was there to prove the integrity of his local district party: “What we are really going to say to them now is that we expect you to either put up or shut up. We expect you to prove there has been bullying, intimidation and threats or alternatively admit it was all a big mistake.” He left the meeting without comment..

Council leader Dave Church, dubbed locally Citizen Dave after the left- wing television character Citizen Smith, spent two hours before the panel.
Labour’s deputy leader, John Prescott, and Clare Short, a national executive committee member and Birmingham Ladywood MP, were among those interviewing Mr Church at the Boundary Hotel in Walsall.Mr Prescott was met on arrival at the hotel by a demonstration of council employees angry at Mr Church’s plans to make 30 workers redundant.Mr Prescott said: “It is important to come and listen to the people involved. A team of Tony Blair’s senior trouble-shooters met suspended leaders from Walsall District Labour Party behind closed doors yesterday to investigate claims of intimidation tactics, writes Peter Victor. Whether Mrs Shephard’s scheme will encourage people to come forward or discourage them is unclear.”David Hart, general secretary of the NAHT, said qualifications would only attract the best potential heads if salary levels and administrative support in the job were also addressed.. Head teachers’ salaries ranged from less than pounds 25,000 in one small school to more than 45,000 in a large secondary.Mr Howson said teachers were being put off applying for promotion by budget cuts and redundancies as well as by the extra administrative duties imposed through local management.He added: “People don’t like being the bearers of bad news, and if they become head they know they may have to tell staff that they can’t employ another teacher or that they have to cut a secretary. In inner London, more than one-third of posts had to be readvertised in the first seven months of 1995 compared with less than a quarter last year.In Lancashire, which has a large number of small rural schools, the percentage had risen from 17 to 26 per cent in the same period. Thirty per cent of outgoing head teachers had retired early compared with just 24 per cent who had left at retirement age. A quarter of those who had retired had done so because of ill health or stress.Difficulties in recruiting good quality head teachers were more severe in some areas than others, Mr Howson found.

In these areas, heads now often face a full teaching schedule plus administrative duties.The questionnaire of 200 schools, commissioned by the National Association of Head Teachers from John Howson, of Oxford Brookes University, also showed that for the first time a majority of new appointments were women. But more men were still recruited in secondary schools, and the chances of a woman being appointed were far less if there were a large number of applications.Mr Howson found that applications for primary headships had dropped by 20 per cent since 1988, and for deputy headships by 30 per cent. Many teachers have always been reluctant to work in urban areas, but problems in the countryside have escalated because of budget cuts. FRAN ABRAMS

Head teachers’ jobs are so stressful that fewer teachers are applying for promotion and the majority of heads are retiring early, according to a survey published yesterday.A plan by Gillian Shephard, Secretary of State for Education and Employment, to train aspiring heads could simply deter even more potential applicants by showing them the grim realities of headship before they start, the report’s author said last night.The research showed small rural schools and those in the inner cities to be the worst affected. He said that this hitherto had been forbidden territory with schools and parents fearing what they might uncover and pupils afraid of punishment..

In addition, its unique family-centered care and publicservice programs have brought the 430-bed hospital recognition as a leadingadvocate for children and adolescents. Its pediatric research program isamong the largest in the country, ranking second in National Institutes ofHealth funding. Referring specifically to autism research within NIH, Parisiadded, the overall plan “addresses overarching questions for families, such aswhat treatments work, and what does the future hold?”About The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia: The Children’s Hospital ofPhiladelphia was founded in 1855 as the nation’s first pediatric hospital.Through its long-standing commitment to providing exceptional patient care,training new generations of pediatric healthcare professionals and pioneeringmajor research initiatives, Children’s Hospital has fostered many discoveriesthat have benefited children worldwide.

By altering the flow of serotonin, aneurotransmitter in the brain, Blue showed that mice behaved less socially,had impairments in fine motor functions and increased repetitive behaviors.The changed animal behaviors, said Blue, shared similarities with somebehaviors seen in children with ASDs, and greater knowledge of therelationship between brain chemicals and behavior might suggest futuretreatments for children.Melissa Parisi, M.D., Ph.D., of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Instituteof Child Health and Development, provided a federal government perspective onthe research findings. RobertSchultz, Ph.D., director of the Center for Autism Research at CHOP, usedmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other imaging tools to study the “socialbrain,” showing how children with ASDs and neurotypical children havecontrasting patterns of brain activity when recognizing people’s faces.In a third broad area, basic science studies, Mary Blue, Ph.D., of KennedyKrieger Institute, presented the results of animal studies that shed light onhow autism operates in humans. Different brain regions were active in children withhigh-functioning autism, in contrast to brain activity in “neurotypical”children — those without autism or other neurological disorders. LaurenKenworthy, Ph.D., of Children’s National Medical Center, showed how brainsrespond when children are asked to complete tasks that involve memory andorganization. That study and another study byHakonarson’s team found two major gene pathways involved in autism, both ofwhich play important roles in early brain development.Several researchers presented the results of brain imaging studies. Hakonarsondescribed the first study to find a common gene involved in autism spectrumdisorders (ASDs), research that attracted substantial press attention when itwas published the day after the symposium. Scientists will then translate those findings into therapiespersonalized to a child’s specific subtype of autistic disorder.”Gene studies took the stage in a presentation by Hakon Hakonarson, M.D.,Ph.D., director of the Center for Applied Genomics at CHOP.

“Researchers ultimately must subclassifypatients based on genetics and behavior, then focus on subgroups of ASDs inanimal models. “The goal of all our centers, both atCHOP and throughout the country, is to improve both diagnoses and outcomes forpeople with developmental disabilities,” said Yudkoff, who is chief of ChildDevelopment, Rehabilitation and Metabolic Disease at Children’s Hospital.The consortium made autism spectrum disorders the centerpiece of theirmeeting, said Yudkoff, acknowledging multifaceted research being pursued bythe participating centers, using genetics, neurobiology and imaging studies toinvestigate the intricate puzzle of autism.”The last 20 years of research have made it clear that autism is not a singledisease, but a continuum of multiple disorders — that’s why we refer to theautism spectrum,” said Michael Robinson, Ph.D., associate director of theIDDRC at Children’s Hospital. All fourinstitutions have centers created and funded by the National Institutes ofHealth, committed to researching causes and treatments of developmentaldisabilities and mental retardation. The research centers have a history of cooperation with one another going back25 to 30 years, said the symposium’s moderator, Marc Yudkoff, M.D., directorof the IDDRC at Children’s Hospital, and a faculty member of the University ofPennsylvania School of Medicine.CHOP and Penn, along with Children’s National Medical Center in Washington,D.C., and the Kennedy Krieger Institute of Johns Hopkins University inBaltimore, comprise the Mid-Atlantic Research Consortium.
