  3. Some fertility treatments linked to higher risk of birth defects

    For couples seeking to overcome infertility by turning to assisted reproductive technology &ndash; which can be invasive and expensive &ndash; an increased risk of birth defects probably won&rsquo;t stand in their way. Still, a study released Saturday by the <a href=&quot;http://www.nejm.org/">New England Journal of Medicine</a> may give some prospective parents a little something to think about as they mull their options for fertility treatment.

  5. Measles-control effort falls short due to problems in India, Africa

    World Health Organization officials had hoped to achieve a 90% reduction in measles deaths between 2000 and 2010, but fell short of their goal, achieving&nbsp;just a 74% reduction, researchers said Tuesday. The number of deaths worldwide fell from 535,300 in 2000 to 139,300 in 2010, according to a report in <a href=&quot;http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60522-4/fulltext">The Lancet</a>. That represented a significant accomplishment, but was not as great a gain as officials had hoped for. The major impediments to the planned reduction were India, which accounted for 47% of measles deaths in 2010, and WHO's African region, which accounted for 36%.
