| Young making most of rehab sessions
When Kordell Young had two healthy knees, he could run the length of the football field in 11 seconds. Who knows how fast he could walk to class? But in the weeks after Young's surgery to repair a torn ligament in his knee, Rutgers' sophomore tailback apparently aged quite a bit as he treked around campus. "The most frustrating part was seeing everybody else walking," he said, "and it was taking me 10 years to get to class." Exaggeration aside, Young summed up the first few weeks of his rehabilitation process like this: "It was hard because I had one strong leg and one leg that's not that strong, so I kept pushing myself to get it (the weaker leg) stronger." Now, two months since he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Sept.

Obesity Linked High Blood Volumes Render PSA Prostate Cancer Test Less Effective
The extra blood volume produced in the obese may so dilute levels of a telltale protein produced by prostates that the popular PSA test may be essentially useless for diagnosing prostate cancer in men carrying extra pounds, a new study in The Journal of the American Medical Association suggests.
The new research, combining data from more than 13,000 prostate cancer patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and elsewhere, could eventually affect the reliability of scores of other blood tests for cancer and other diseases in obese people, or at least alter the way those tests are analyzed, investigators say.
The predictive value of the PSA test depends on accurate readings of a protein, (P)rostate (S)pecific (A)ntigen continually pumped out by the prostate. When the prostate is enlarged - due to cancer or other disorders - the concentration of PSA in the bloodstream can increase, signaling the possible presence of a tumor.
