...people ages 60 to 89 and has detected in their lives new practical and emotional problems. Take the longer waits at airports because of security checks and the restrictions imposed on passengers during flights. "Can you imagine standing in line for two hours with arthritis, or having bladder problems and being told you can't use the bathroom during a shuttle flight?" Cohen asks. Older clients have also told him that their income from IRAs and pensions has taken a hit and they fear they will have to get part-time jobs to make ends meet. The death last week...

...shed directly from tumors. Many solid tumors, it turns out, result from mutations in stretches of DNA that are repeated several times. Finding these abnormal DNA snippets in urine or saliva could mean a cancer is just beginning to take root. In a small pilot study of bladder-cancer patients, one screen that Sidransky developed picked up more than 90% of tumors--a hit rate that could revolutionize the early detection and treatment of bladder cancer...
...always be so simple, however. For one thing, some cancers leave bigger footprints than others. In the urine of a patient with bladder cancer, for example, more than half the genetic material could derive from the tumor, making detection relatively straightforward. The sputum of a lung-cancer patient, on the other hand, is much more diverse; less than 1% of its DNA is traceable to cancer. Clearly, other genetic clues will have to be developed, and Sidransky is already tracking down several of them. The challenge, to his delight, never ends...
...persisted, and eventually doctors diagnosed arsenic poisoning. The price he has paid is high: he lost a third of his overall motor control, and, even today, his face remains partly paralyzed. "My eye droops; I have weakness in my arms and legs," he says. "My long-term risk for bladder, lung and other problems is magnified enormously...
