The purpose of Health and Medicine in the News is to provide quick access to journal literature and meeting abstracts on subjects discussed in health and medicine newspaper articles. The Star Tribune - Newspaper of the Twin Cities [Minneapolis Edition], one of the two major daily newspapers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, is scanned daily for relevant articles. The first priority for inclusion in this resource is newspaper articles which announce new research findings and refer in some way to current or forthcoming scholarly publications.

The contents of each article is briefly described, accompanied by the citation to the newspaper article. Whenever possible, the full citation to the published journal literature or meeting abstract is included. There may be some delay here, as press releases may precede our receipt of the journal. For information regarding published meeting abstracts of health sciences associations, refer to our meeting abstracts page.
