The American Medical Association (AMA) considers itself the voice of American doctors, and it used that bully pulpit in its recent fight against the American Health Care Act (also called the Obamacare replacement bill). The New York Times cited it as “a powerful lobbying group representing the nation’s doctors”; to The Huffington Post, it was simply “the doctors.” There’s just one problem with this, a truth that the AMA doesn’t like to discuss: Most doctors aren’t members.

Researchers have developed a womb-like device they hope can save and improve the lives of extremely premature babies. The device has only been tested on baby lambs so far, but the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia scientists plan to test it on premature humans in the next few years, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

King David promised to “awaken the dawn” and offered elsewhere in the Psalms that he would “both lie down in peace, and sleep.” Plenty of us are doing the former, but many of us aren’t doing enough of the latter: According to a 2012 report in the journal Sleep, “approximately 1 in 3 adult Americans are sleeping less than 7 hours per night.”

Migraine sufferers will tell you how their intense, painful headaches can last up to 72 hours, disrupting daily routines and leaving them miserable. While there is no cure for migraines, recent research shows that electrical stimulation of certain nerves—a technique called neuromodulation—can help abort migraines without the use of drugs.

Neuromodulation devices typically are designed to be worn on the head, but Israeli startup Theranica has published promising results of a study in which a wireless armband reduced migraine headache pain as effectively as current migraine drugs.

WASHINGTON—The Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act enters its final stages as party leaders drum up support for a full vote next Thursday.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price huddled with lawmakers on Capitol Hill this morning to answer their questions and plan next steps for healthcare legislation. Across town, President Donald Trump spoke with House Whip Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and Republican Study Committee members at the White House.

The House Committee on Education and the Workforce recently approved HR 1313, whose bland stated purpose (“to clarify rules relating to nondiscriminatory workplace wellness programs”) hides an Orwellian reality. The bill would let employers punish employees for refusing to undergo genetic testing or disclose their health histories.

Antibiotic-resistant pathogens, or “superbugs,” infect at least 2 million people each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those infected, about 23,000 people die.

Now, in an effort to stir research and development of new antibiotics, the World Health Organization (WHO) has published a list of 12 families of superbugs that pose the greatest risk to human health.
