List of national anthems

A national anthem is a generally patriotic musical composition that is formally recognized by a country's government as their state's official national song.

During the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, with the rise of the national state, most countries adopted a national anthem, which in some cases coexists with other commonly sung patriotic songs.

The names of nations that no longer exist, or are not independent states but nevertheless have official anthems, are italicized. Dependencies are only listed if they have an anthem separate or in addition to their mother country.

Building Better Therapeutic Vaccines For Chronic Infections
Familiar preventive vaccines protect an individual from infections. Therapeutic vaccines, however, are designed for patients who have acquired chronic infections, such as HIV or hepatitis, or even cancers. Thus far, such vaccines have fallen short of expectations. A new study offers details about what may prevent the immune system from responding effectively to a therapeutic vaccine during a state of chronic infection and suggests how scientists might be able to improve the immune response.

[Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind."

Pregnant Women At Higher Risk For HIV, Uganda Study Finds
The risk of acquiring HIV rises during pregnancy, according to a study of women in Uganda's Rakai District led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

The findings suggest that the increased risk was likely due to biological changes during pregnancy.

Major Study Links Chronic Noise Exposure To Risk Of Heart Attacks
Research published online in European's leading cardiology journal, European Heart Journal, links exposure to chronic noise with an increased risk of heart attack.
