Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital found one in every ten samples of breast milk purchased over the internet contained added cow’s milk, which could pose a danger to infants. Doctors say many parents look for human milk online because their infants have an allergy or intolerance to cow’s milk. A previous study indicated more than 75-percent of samples also had bacterial or viral contamination. SOURCE – Pediatrics/MedDay/CBS
Ebola
A Rhode Island doctor who treated Ebola patients in Liberia has introduced an Ebola prediction tool researchers say may help identify patients sooner. Other illnesses have some of the same symptoms of Ebola, so the prediction model could help determine which patients should be isolated while waiting for test results.

Exercise
Although exercise is considered key to good health, a new study found fewer than half of U.S. doctors trained in 2013 received formal training on the subject. Researchers at Oregon State University reviewed American medical school curriculums and discovered most don’t offer any courses on physical activity.
