SYDNEY (Reuters) - Samoa closed all non-essential public and private services on Thursday to combat a measles epidemic that has killed more than 60 people, mostly babies and young children, in a medical task complicated by a vocal anti-vaccination movement.

It called on donor nations and governments in c... ...

New research finds that raised levels of a protein called troponin are a "highly clinically meaningful" indicator of death risk, regardless of age or underlying cause.
