And the company will take extra steps to ensure it is testing actual Alzheimer's patients by pre-screening them with its imaging agent Amyvid to ensure they have deposits of the protein beta amyloid that is linked with the disease. ...http://news.yahoo.com/lilly-plans-big-alzheimers-disease-study-prior-failures-130413774.htmlFri, 12 Jul 2013 14:56:39 -0400Reuterslilly-plans-big-alzheimers-disease-study-prior-failures-130413774Timing of first solid food tied to child diabetes riskKathryn Doyle NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - When babies already at increased risk for type 1 diabetes had their first solid foods before four months of age or after six months, their chances of developing the disorder at least doubled, according to a new study. Four to six months is the recommended age window for all kids to start on solid foods, but the new results suggest timing could be even more important for babies at high risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) because of genetic susceptibility. ...http://news.yahoo.com/timing-first-solid-food-tied-child-diabetes-risk-183615783.htmlFri, 12 Jul 2013 14:36:15 -0400Reuterstiming-first-solid-food-tied-child-diabetes-risk-183615783Flu may explain seasonal birth differences: studyBy Genevra Pittman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Research has long shown slight health differences among babies born at different times during the year, and a new study suggests seasonal flu may be a contributing factor. In the study of over 600,000 women who each had more than one child, researchers found a dip in average pregnancy length - and thus an increase in premature births - for infants conceived in May. Most of those babies were born at the height of flu season, in early- to mid-winter. ...http://news.yahoo.com/flu-may-explain-seasonal-birth-differences-study-163327203.htmlFri, 12 Jul 2013 12:33:27 -0400Reutersflu-may-explain-seasonal-birth-differences-study-163327203Another Case of Brain Cancer In Baseball.
