Prague, May 2 (CTK) - A Czech woman, now aged 28, absolutely lost ability to think 14 years ago and has not recovered since, the daily Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) wrote Friday.
The 14-year-old girl started her eighth grade. Her mother was called by the school staff telling her that her daughter was standing in front of the school and does not know where to go. She forgot who she was and what she was doing there, MfD writes.
All of a sudden, the girl's brain stopped rightly working.
The nation's food supply may soon be under significant threat as the result of a Bush administration decision to move its research on one of the most contagious animal diseases from an isolated island laboratory to the U.S. mainland, placing it near herds of livestock.

Comment: Grady Thrasher is justified to worry about a research lab outbreak. Viruses are known to have "accidentally" escaped "highly secured" labs before. Another thought worthy of consideration is whether the slaughter of cattle, chicken, etc due to "accidental" virus outbreaks, are part of an insidious agenda to starve the population.

Tony Eastley: A team of Australian researchers claim to have made a breakthrough in treating the debilitating arthritis triggered by the Ross River virus.

Lindy Kerin: Ross River Virus is now found across the country and affects between five and eight thousand Australians every year.
About a third of those infected will suffer severe aches and pains in their joints.
Professor Suresh Mahalingam and his colleagues at the University of Canberra have been studying Ross River virus for the past four years.
Now they've identified the cell responsible for causing the joint inflammation and tissue damage.
Beijing - Ten doctors and officials in China have been punished for mishandling a virus that has killed 26 children, state media reported as the number of infected youngsters rose to nearly 12,000.

Beijing - Fears of a virus that has killed at least 26 children in China gripped parents in Beijing as officials on Tuesday temporarily closed two kindergartens amid a spreading outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease.

"The Chinese government is paying great attention to the virus and related departments are taking effective measures to stop it from spreading," ministry spokesman Qin Gang told a news conference.

In the battle to help Americans slim down, scientists have tried for years to unlock the mysteries of the "hunger hormone."
The hormone, made in the stomach, tells the brain it's time to eat. Around the world, obesity researchers have wondered whether it was possible to manipulate the hormone, known as ghrelin, and help people tame their hunger.
