What are some current events relating to health that are interesting to you?
I have to do numerous current events on health subjects for my human anatomy class, and I couldn’t really find anything. Anyone read anything interesting? No events before October of this year.

I’m an Anatomy & Physiology student as well and these are some studies that caught my attention recently:
* High blood pressure & obesity today can affect your memory later.
* Asthma affects the ability of women to get pregnant: A Copenhagen study.
* Infant illnesses linked to parents refusing Vitamin K shot.
* Adults with diabetes are 2-4 times more likely to have heart disease than adults without diabetes. Statins are being researched in this regard, as a cholesterol-reducing treatment.
* Weight-loss surgery may reverse signs of aging (read this on NBC Health)
* New tuberculosis test developed by the Massachusetts General Hospital detects resistant strains.
* Rituximab: A Cancer dug found effective at killing malignant cells.
