Haderach C. Kwisatch<p>"Our results show that uncertainty, not just expectation, plays an important role in pain. Previous research on placebo and nocebo effects has shown that expecting relief can reduce pain, while expecting harm can make pain worse. Our findings add a new layer: when the brain is unsure about what to expect and encounters ambiguous signals, it errs on the side of caution, intensifying pain beyond what's necessary," Francesca Fardo explains."</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicine</span></a> <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/03/250314113601.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedaily.com/releases/2025</span><span class="invisible">/03/250314113601.htm</span></a></p>

Flipboard Science Desk<p>Newborn babies have been exposed to measles at a Texas hospital and are receiving antibodies to protect them, NBC reports. The virus was brought into the University Medical Center Children's Hospital by a mother in labor — doctors didn't realize until after her admission that she was infected, and it's unclear when she tested positive. The immunoglobulin injections have been given to babies as young as three days old. A 2021 study found this therapy is highly effective in protecting exposed newborns who are too young to be vaccinated. Emergency masking procedures have also been implemented. </p><p><a href="https://flip.it/0.ZRbx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/0.ZRbx</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MeaslesOutbreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeaslesOutbreak</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicine</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccination</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Children</span></a></p>
Flipboard<p>When Spanish colonizers established a town in the mountains of Bolivia in the 1500s, they might have expected to expand their communities by having babies, but they could not. While Indigenous folks raised families, not a single child of European descent was born for decades.

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Too many people focus on 'what is' rather than 'what could be'" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>I'm in Georgia, where later today, I'll speak on behalf of a corporate group on the topic of the future of healthcare. (Before that, I'll be hard at work studying the nature of turf science, particularly concerning the actions of a small spherical object as it encounters the turf after being struck by a long object, particularly when the turf in question is quite dormant. There is much to learn.)</p><p>I digress.</p><p>The photo for today's image comes from my keynote for the American Association of Orthopedic Executives, and I'm speaking to them about the emerging reality of 3d printed body parts - knees on order via a Web site.

They needed not to just think about what is today, but would be tomorrow!</p><p>I'll walk through several slides having to do with the science of healthcare and medicine, the acceleration of new forms of treatment, and other issues. It's an interesting time to be covering this type of material from the stage, given that I'm doing so in a country where the very science of healthcare is under attack.</p><p>Even so, one of my jobs is to help the group - all involved in the health benefits community - understand the big sweeping trends and ideas that provide so much potential for society.

In his first day in office, President Trump signed executive orders withdrawing the U.S. from participation in the Paris Agreement on <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> change and from the World Health Organization [<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/WHO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WHO</span></a>]. The new administration has subsequently acted to drastically limit support for climate and medical research performed by scientists in the federal government and in universities. In this emergency, it is not enough for the National Academy of Sciences to speak up from its grass roots, as in 2016 or 2018. It must now speak as an institution if it is to fulfill its responsibilities to the nation and maintain its relevance in the future."</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DefendResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendResearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicine</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Takedowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Takedowns</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a></p>
