People with some types of epilepsy may have a lower quality of life, study suggests

A new study suggests that people with epilepsy associated with head injuries, especially the type not well controlled by medication, are more likely to have other health conditions like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), back pain and headache that may result in them reporting a lower quality of life.

Two-mom families have higher rates of birth complications

Mothers with partners who also identified as mothers had substantially higher rates of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes, including life-threatening complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, than mothers with partners who identified as fathers, according to a study of nearly 1.5 million births in California.

New study finds community acquired drug-resistant UTIs to be more deadly

A new study led by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has found the spread of drug-resistant bacteria in the community is increasing the risk of death for common infections such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), which affect around one in two women and one in 20 men in their lifetime.
