Prozac fluoxetine Use Early On Affects Mice |
 In an experiment in mice, researchers have found that treatment with an antidepressant early in life increases the appearance of depression and anxiety-like symptoms in adulthood.
The researchers gave daily doses of fluoxetine, better known by the brand name Prozac, to mice from four days after birth until their normal weaning age of 3 weeks — a period that roughly corresponds in humans to a fetus in the third trimester of pregnancy up to early childhood.

 Virtual Medical Checkups on the Rise
Wayne Wilson is cheered when the computerized voice tells him his blood pressure and heart rate are holding steady.
The 82-year-old stays on top of his health with weekly checkups at an electronic kiosk in the lobby of the Beverwyck assisted-living home. On this day, he finds out he's even lost half a pound."That means I can have ice cream tonight," he says. Wilson is part of a growing number of people monitoring their vital signs through "telemedicine," which allows health care providers to perform checkups by video.
