Is it Postpartum Depression, or a Thyroid Condition?
Both Brooke Shields and Katie Holmes -- Tom Cruise's fiancee -- delivered their babies this past Tuesday. An interesting coincidence, because Tom and Brooke also have in common a very public feud they conducted last year, after Cruise accused Shields of being "irresponsible" for using antidepressants to treat the severe postpartum depression she suffered after the birth of her first child. Tom Cruise may disagree, but postpartum depression, also known as PPD, is a very real condition, affecting as many as one in ten women who give birth, and it requires treatment. But what many women don't know is that another condition -- postpartum thyroid disease -- is equally as common, and may actually be the underlying cause of the PPD in some women.

Scientists Discover Cause of Cystic Fibrosis
Scientists at Stanford University have discovered a defect in the airway glands of people with cystic fibrosis. The characteristic buildup of sticky mucus in the airways was determined to be caused by a dysfunction in the epithelial cells that line the airways. But what, specifically, was the dysfunction that they discovered to be the cause of cystic fibrosis? Find out if the results of the study confirm or refute previous hypotheses about the cause of cystic fibrosis.
