  1. In many patients, diagnostic testing isn't reassuring after all

    A lot of us find our way to the doctor with strange aches and pains that are very, very unlikely to be caused by serious illness -- headaches, back pains or stomach troubles, to name a few. To be on the safe side, physicians will often order tests to rule out the scary stuff and, the thinking goes, provide reassurance.

  4. Intensive care MDs: More white coats, fewer piercings preferred

  6. Is being pear-shaped not so good after all?

    If you're pear-shaped and smug, a new study's findings may take you down a peg: For those at slightly increased risk of developing diabetes, fat stored in the buttocks pumps out abnormal levels of two proteins associated with inflammation and insulin resistance. (And that's not good.)

  8. TV not always a healthy channel for advice

    Your family doctor doesn't work with a teleprompter. And there wasn't a live studio audience the last time you put on a hospital gown &mdash; thankfully. Television is great for sports, reality shows and reruns of "The Big Bang Theory," but if you're getting your health information from TV, you might not be as well-informed &mdash; or as healthy &mdash; as you could be.

  10. Hooked on acid reflux treatment?

    A welter of medications sold over the counter and&nbsp;by prescription&nbsp;can spell fast relief from the churning&nbsp;discomfort of acid reflux and heartburn, and the class of drugs known as proton-pump inhibitors&nbsp;has grown powerfully popular with Americans. But the watchdog group Public Citizen on Tuesday&nbsp;asked the U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration to warn Americans that these drugs can be habit-forming and carry a wide range of other dangers.

  11. Caffeine's buzz chases away women's depression

    Compared with uncaffeinated women, those who drank the equivalent of four or more cups of coffee a day are more likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes and less likely to volunteer their time in church or community groups. But a new study finds that well-caffeinated women have a key health advantage over their more abstemious sisters: they&rsquo;re less likely to become depressed.

  12. AIDS drugs restore Africans' life expectancy

    In the United States and Europe, antiretroviral drugs have&nbsp;changed HIV infection from an early death sentence to a lifelong but manageable condition. Many international philanthropies have contended that these medications&nbsp;could do the same in poor countries, and have aggressively negotiated lower costs to put them within reach of those in the developing world, where HIV infection rates are highest. But given the challenges to health and hygiene in such countries, it's not been clear that antiretroviral therapy&nbsp;would reverse the shortened life expectancies of the HIV-infected there as they have in the developed world.
