1. Hearts Different for ART Kids? Cardiac systolic and diastolic function were altered at age 5 among Chinese children born of assisted reproductive technology (ART).

3. Disaster Planning: Innovators Wanted. More than 800 global representatives met to share their experiences and research at the 19th World Conference on Disaster and Emergency Medicine.
4. Hospitals Increasingly Turn to Patients for Advice. Jane Maier was one of a select group of patients invited in early 2012 to help Partners HealthCare, Massachusetts’ largest health system, pick its new electronic health record system – a critical investment of close to $700 million.
