Americans blame too much screen time and cheap fast-food for fueling the nation's obesity epidemic, but a poll finds that they’re split on how the government should help. A third of people say the government should be deeply involved in finding ways to curb obesity. A similar proportion want the government to play little or no role, and the rest are in the middle.

The United States suffers far more violent deaths than any other wealthy nation, due in part to the widespread possession of firearms and the practice of storing them at home in a place that is often unlocked, according to a report released Wednesday by two of the nation's leading health research institutions.

News Summary: Court backs FDA in Cytori case
SHORT CIRCUIT: A federal appeals court said that the
Food and Drug Administration made the right call in rejecting fast-track approval of two
Cytori Therapeutics Inc. devices used to process adult stem cells.
SPIN DOCTORS: Cytori devices separate adult stem cells from fat tissue with a combination of spinning and chemical reactions. The company appealed an FDA decision in 2011 that said it needed a more rigorous approval process.
REWIND: Cytori has begun a large study it will use to seek traditional FDA approval. It will evaluate stem cell injections as a treatment for patients with heart disease.
