  5. Of course you're stressed. Just look at you.

    We all know the face of stress: the clenched jaw, the furrowed brow, the intense stare. And, really, it's not a bad look. We all do some of our best work under pressure. Adrenaline and other stress hormones give us the kick start we need to meet deadlines and generally get ahead in life.

  6. Lyme disease, autism link cast into doubt

    Since 2008, when a group of physicians drew a hypothetical link between Lyme disease and autism, a growing number of patient activists have embraced the belief that the hallmark neuropsychiatric symptoms of autism may spring from the body's immune response to the bite of a deer tick carrying the bacterium <em>Borrelia burgdorferi</em>.

  10. Poll: Should doctors tell terminally ill patients they're dying?

    As my colleague Melissa Healy <a href="http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-physicians-terminal-patients-20130424,0,1331439.story">noted</a> Thursday, a British medical journal recently invited doctors who specialize in end-of-life care to debate whether patients should be told that they're terminally ill. Two London-based palliative care doctors argued <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2589">in favor of disclosure</a>, writing that it was "essential to decision-making" in addition to being the most ethical approach. The head of the palliative care section of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, meanwhile, <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2560">asserted</a> that telling patients they were terminal was "a failed model for medical decision making that creates more suffering than it relieves."

  12. Study identifies genes linked to Alzheimer's in African Americans

    One complaint leveled against genome studies is that they don't survey a broad enough swath of humankind. Though many projects have searched DNA collected from people of European descent -- hoping to ferret out which changes in what parts of the genome are linked to this disease or that -- fewer have investigated the genomes of other ethnic groups.&nbsp;
