New Alzheimer test aims for earlier diagnosis breakthrough
A bio bar code assay developed by Northwestern University researchers promises ultra sensitive detection of ADDL proteins in spinal fluid, potentially identifying Alzheimer's disease earlier. The method, still under validation, could help track disease progression and aid development of therapies and tests for other illnesses.

Milk's fatty acid boost eyed to cut cancer risk
Cornell University researchers pursue dairy cow diets to raise conjugated linoleic acid levels in milk. Studies show CLA may hinder tumor growth by blocking blood vessel formation, with early human trials underway and NY dairy economics noting declines but potential for value-added milk through high-CLA production.

New MR Neurography helps locate elusive sciatic pain
A Cedars Sinai UCLA study shows MR neurography accurately images the sciatic nerve and diagnoses piriformis syndrome, revealing nerve, muscle, or joint causes not seen on standard scans. Of 238 patients, 162 had piriformis syndrome and 62 had surgery with 82 percent reporting good outcomes over six years.
