A Significant Medical History

Pathological Biochemistry

This summary has been prepared from Mr Simpson’s detailed history of Clinical Biochemistry in Scotland.

Sir David P Cuthbertson (1900-1989) was appointed in 1926 at the age of 26 as University Lecturer and Clinical Biochemist, and was the Grieve Lecturer in Pathological Biochemistry at Glasgow Royal Infirmary from 1934 to 1945. In the world’s first metabolic ward, he studied the metabolic response to injury, and showed the importance of nutritional support. He left to be Director of the Rowett Research Institute, Aberdeen; returning to Glasgow in 1965.  The European Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition founded a "Sir David Cuthbertson Lectureship" in 1979 and elected Sir David as an honorary member in 1981. 

He was elected an honorary member of the Association of Clinical Biochemists in 1986.

Abstract

Background

Little is known about whether associations between childhood adiposity and later adverse cardiovascular health outcomes are driven by tracking of overweight from childhood to adulthood and/or by vascular and metabolic changes from childhood overweight that persist into adulthood. Our objective is to characterise associations between trajectories of adiposity across childhood and a wide range of cardiovascular risk factors measured in adolescence, and explore the extent to which these are mediated by fat mass at age 15.

Methods and Findings

Using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pare
