While antidepressants are often prescribed after a traumatic brain injury to help patients deal with the emotional fallout from their ordeal, new research suggests these medications could also help the brain itself heal. A new study found that antidepressants can help brain cells grow and survive after brain trauma, and can even lead to improved memory and brain function. More
Too Many Parents Think Injuries Are 'Part of the Game' from HealthDay News via Bloomberg Businessweek Share
With another season of warm-weather sports under way, experts are cautioning that many parents don't take sports injury prevention seriously enough — that they consider commonplace sprains, bruises and pulled muscles "just part of the game."

This much we know already: It won't be a pretty picture. The last census reckoned that a third of American adults are overweight, meaning their BMI lies between 25 and 30. Roughly another third weigh in with BMIs over 30 — the demarcation line that brands them as obese. More
Pushing Limits of New Knees from The Wall Street Journal Share
Joint-replacement patients these days are younger and more active than ever before. Many active middle-agers are wearing out their joints with marathons, triathlons, basketball and tennis and suffering osteoarthritis years earlier than previous generations. To accommodate them, implant makers are working to build joints with longer-wearing materials, and surgeons are offering more options like partial knee replacements, hip resurfacing and minimally invasive procedures.
