Miami, FL - Researchers at Kings Lake University (Canada) reported at the Annual Congresss of Clinical Medicine in Miami that annual flu vaccination may be linked to a chronic, but treatable condition called Canities.
These are the latest findings of an ongoing multi-year federally-funded study examining the long-term effects of annual flu vaccination on population health. Lead scientist of this study, Dr. Hans Gosig, associate professor and director of research at King Lake's recently opened Center for Clinical Research and Discovery, said "these results were surprising, but help us to understand an important aspect how the flu affects the aging population".
Researchers reported on results from over 830 patients ranging from 26 to 78 years of age. Inthis this study 502 patients had been receiving annual flu vaccination and over 300 who had for varying reasons declined the recommended annual flu vaccination. Over the 10 year study period the researchers found a significant increase in Canities among elderly men who had received the annual vaccinations. "The effect was most notable among men aged 50-67", said Dr. Gosig, "while this condition can be diagnosed in women as well as men, it is often more difficult to diagnose in women". Dr. Gosig emphasized that Canities is not considered serious and can be treatable, although there is not yet any cure.
A study published earlier this year in the scientific journal Genes and Development by researchers from Uinversity of Texas identified a gene linked to development of Canities. These results reported by the King's Lake study group may provide a new association between flu infections and development of this chronic condition. Dr. Gosig pointed out that these findings are considered preliminary but expected to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the coming months.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
