CAMERON — Town residents upset about a proposed subdivision made their opposition known at the Cameron Planning Board meeting on Thursday. Their opposition drew laughs from the Sanford developers. Michael Blakely, of Drafting and Design Services Inc., and Bobby Branch, a real estate developer and owner of Bobby Branch Tree Removal, are proposing a 57-home subdivision on 87 acres on N.C. Highway 24-27 and Atkins Road. They are working with Smith Douglas Homes in Sanford.

1. Introduction Vascular calcification and valvular heart disease are highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In particular, the prevalence of valve calcification (VC) is eight times higher in end stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis than in the general population (1). Aortic and mitral valves are affected most frequently, and calcification of both valves arises 10–20 years sooner in CKD patients compared with subjects with normal kidney function (1–3).
