HOUSTON – A former Major League Baseball pitcher with Alzheimer’s has been found safe Thursday afternoon near the Astrodome area, police confirmed. Roric Harrison, 74, went missing on Wednesday off Main Street in the Texas Medical Center. Police said he was found by a good Samaritan and is safely back home with his family. Police said Harrison was a pitcher in Major League Baseball for five years back in the 1970s. Harrison, who was signed to the Houston Astros at a point in his career, was the last American League pitcher to hit a home run in an American League game before they introduced the designated hitter.

C2N Diagnostics has started selling the first blood test to help diagnose Alzheimers disease, a leap for the field that could make it much easier for people to learn whether they have dementia. If a blood test had been available, “I might have been afraid of the results” but would have “jumped on that” to find out, she said. The blood test from C2N Diagnostics of St. Louis aims to fill that gap. If the PET scan was negative, the blood test ruled out amyloid buildup 77% of the time. The other 23% got a positive result, but that doesn't necessarily mean the blood test was incorrect, Braunstein said.
