NEWSWEEK COVER: 'Health for Life: Your Family + Your Health'

Surviving spouses die at twice the normal
rate during the first year of bereavement, as they become more isolated and
less motivated to take care of themselves -- and the risk of suicide increases
22-fold for people whose spouses take their own lives. And family crises can have a
range of consequences for kids.
Children's health improves when their mothers receive basic social services,
Cowley reports. And increasing numbers of children are
taking the drugs, too, reports General Editor Peg Tyre. The impact of the chemotherapeutic
treatment on tumour regression can then be monitored by further proteomic
sampling.
The program will be available through selected veterinary hospitals and
practices across the UK and many practices have already expressed serious
interest in the PetScreen program.
Headquartered in BioCity, Nottingham, one of the UK's leading centres of
bioscience excellence, PetScreen will work with forward thinking veterinary
hospitals and practices in the UK, Europe and the US to make the program
widely available this year.

Family Forces May Explain Up to a Quarter of the Variation in
Individual Health

NEW YORK, We tend to think of health as a private
blessing, sickness as a solitary curse, but the truth isn't nearly so simple
-- either for kids or adults, Newsweek reports in its cover story "Health For
Life: Your Family + Your Health," produced with Harvard Medical School. This shouldn't be news -- but it is, largely because of
widespread misunderstanding of what happens during the teen years,

The Health For Life package, written by Newsweek correspondents and
experts from Harvard Medical School , consists of family health information
about kids, teens and adults. But for quirkier kids, whose
symptoms are hard to classify or who seem to have several disorders at
once, pinpointing the right treatment can depend more on clinical
judgment than on hard science. A lot
depends on the youngsters' innate natures combined with the emotional

The problems associated with late detection of malignancies are well
understood, and whilst proteomic screening in humans is still at a very early
stage, the concept and the technology very easily - and successfully - apply
to companion animals. Despite it being well known that certain canine breeds
are very prone to develop cancer, there have been no screening options
available until now. Both have built and sold innovative companies, but come from very
different backgrounds. "With recent sequencing of the canine genome and
the launching of new initiatives targeting this devastating disease, curing
canine cancer is no longer a distant dream - but a quickly approaching
reality!"
