A new computerised “fitness” test for the brain, developed at the University of Tennessee, is reported to be 95 percent effective in detecting Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive problems. Other diagnostic tests currently in use are reported have only 69 to 71 percent accuracy. Developers say 60 percent of cases of the disease are not picked up in a primary care setting, leading to missed opportunities for early diagnosis. You can trial the test at www.alzselftest.com . |

...it has been a good week. A lucky week. To begin with we have been contacted by a new friend who sent us an email from Nigeria. This new friend has recently come into an amazing amount of money, about twenty million plus U.S. dollars to which he is willing to give us a couple of million if we just send him $25,000 of our N.Z money and our Bank account numbers.
