Abbott recalling certain Similac brand powder infant formulas.

Abbott is recalling these products following an internal quality review, which detected the remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in the product produced in one production area in a single manufacturing facility. The United States Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae, could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat as a result of small insect parts irritating the GI tract. If these symptoms persist for more than a few days, a physician should be consulted.

The recall of these powder infant formulas includes:

• Certain Similac powder product lines offered in plastic containers.
• Certain Similac powder product lines offered in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans.

The blood tests could be the first reliable method of diagnosing down syndrome without doing invasive testing.

Researchers Pinpoint Genetic Tie to Brain Development

Researchers have found a gene responsible for regulating human brain development named the Pax6 gene. The Pax6 gene helps to direct stem cells that make up the brain and spinal cord in the early stages of embryonic development. The findings may lead the way towards being able to treat brain diseases such as Parkinson's or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The gene plays a different role in the development in animals than in humans. The Pax6 may also explain why the human brain is larger and more advanced than brains in other species.
