...study compared outcomes of treatments during two periods at the university's fertility clinic: between 1995 and 1999, when double-embryo transfer was used much more commonly than single-embryo transfer, which was performed for just 4.2% of cases; and between 2000 and 2004, when 46.2% of women opted for elective single-embryo transfer. (The increase in single-embryo transfers reflects, in part, changing attitudes in Europe toward using multiple embryos.) In both time periods, the study found, 90% of women delivered babies within their first four treatment cycles, regardless of how many embryos were implanted. That suggests there...
...medical-marijuana-related charges before the Obama Administration relaxed its policy. Lynch was convicted in federal court in 2008 on five counts, including distributing marijuana through his dispensary, Central Coast Compassionate Caregivers, in Morro Bay, Calif. Lynch, 47, who believed he was complying with state laws regarding his clinic - he had a business license for his dispensary, a nursery license for the marijuana plants he cultivated and the blessing of city officials, including the mayor - was charged with violating both state and federal laws. Lynch's defense team was not allowed to inform the jury that medical marijuana was legal...

Emmalyn's attorney and a former district attorney for the city, Terence Hallinan, says, "They...

"The data we have are very preliminary," says Dr. Randall Flick, Wilder's co-author at the Mayo Clinic. "It really doesn't prompt me or any of my colleagues to say we should change the way we practice...
...infants undergoing surgery. Some experts believed babies did not have sufficiently developed neural connections to even feel any pain. "There was a whole series of papers showing that [giving anesthesia] was a bad thing to do," says Dr. Robert Wilder, a co-author of the Mayo Clinic study. "One thing that is very clear is that kids who have surgery without the appropriate anesthetic have higher degrees of morbidity and, in some cases, even mortality associated with surgery compared to kids who have gotten the appropriate anesthetic."
