Free genetic test for high risk cancer patients
In Australia people at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer will be offered free genetic testing. If someone has breast and ovarian cancer and has the mutations, all their relatives will be able to have the test for free. If they don't have the mutation, they can go back to normal screening. This new service is expected to significantly improve the lives of Australians, offering more choice via access to affordable screening and treatment options, http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-12/breast-and-ovarian-cancer-test-free-for-high-risk-patients/9040274

At top speed, the underwater jetpack clocked in at 6.25 mph, breaking Phelp?s record of 6 mph. www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/09/22/this-underwater-ironman-jetpack-lets-you-swim-faster-than-michael-phelps/?
