Infants' brains expand quickly, then ruthlessly prune back brain cells - a process of orderly cell death, known as apoptosis. In an experiment in young rats undergoing this crucial stage of neural development, Christopher Turner, an assistant professor of neurobiology and anatomy at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, witnessed out-of-control apoptosis in the brains of rats treated with drugs that mimicked the action of the general anesthetic...

For Xie's part, he thinks researchers must come up with alternative drugs for vulnerable patients if such a scenario unfolds. "Science doesn't always tell us what we want to hear. If certain drugs are dangerous to use, then we should...

...Obesity has doubled in adults and tripled in children over the past couple of decades," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in response to the study during a briefing with reporters. "We still need to understand what the consequences of that are. Increased susceptibility to infection is one. Reduced respiratory reserve is another. But it's something we still need to learn more about...
