Melanie beats diabetes and goes for Olympic gold
A student at the University of Wales Newport is beating diabetes after becoming one of the first athletes in the UK to be fitted with a special insulin pump to help her fulfil her ambition of winning Olympic gold - and has already sprinted to silver medal success. Melanie Stephenson was laid low by diabetes for several months but recently made a remarkable come-back to win a silver medal at the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) championships, achieving a personal best of 24.60 in the 200 metres.

Babies born in summer 'more likely to develop multiple sclerosis'
Babies born in the summer months have a higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) because their mothers do not get enough sun during pregnancy, a study says. Mothers-to-be who failed to get enough sunshine - cutting off a main source of vitamin D - were nearly a third more likely to have offspring who developed MS, researchers from the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne and the Australian National University claimed.

New screening technique could save women from breast cancer surgery
Thousands of women could be spared unnecessary treatment for breast cancer due to a new breakthrough in screening techniques, scientists have claimed. They have identified a way to predict whether some cancerous cells will go on to become dangerous or not. The discovery could help women who have been diagnosed with a common form of the disease called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
