The
world of medicine is one step closer to early detection and better
treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. A new brain scan using a special
chemical marker can show the presence of proteins that are linked to the
degenerative brain disease. Before now, an accurate diagnosis of
Alzheimer’s was only possible during an autopsy. Source Link
So
how old is your car? If you’re like most drivers, you use the odometer
instead of the calendar to measure its age. A new survey found that the
average driver doesn’t think a car is “old” until it reaches nearly
150,000 miles. And that car or truck isn’t ready for the scrap yard
until it hits 200,000 miles. Source Link
The
online world isn’t for everyone. A new report says one out of five
American adults doesn’t use the Internet. Of those, about half say they
don’t need an online connection to keep up with the world. The un-wired
are mostly older, less educated, and the poor, but the report says
there’s much less of a gap between the percentage of whites and
minorities who are online. Source Link
