Physician Empathy Tied to Better Outcomes for Chronic Pain Patients: Study
Perhaps most compelling is that researchers also determined physician empathy was more strongly associated with favorable outcomes than opioid treatment, non-pharmacological interventions, and lumbar spine surgery.

A groundbreaking study published in Child Development sheds light on the impact of this diversity, revealing that children in ethnically diverse classrooms excel in understanding and recognizing other people’s thoughts and feelings compared to their peers in less diverse settings.
This ability, referred to as “theory of mind,” is crucial for navigating social interactions and developing empathy.
Study Finds ‘Shockingly’ High Lead Levels in Off-Price Fashion Accessories
Leather and faux leather handbags, wallets, shoes and belts from popular off-price retailers can harbor “shockingly” high levels of lead, a carcinogen and reproductive toxicant that can pose permanent and irreversible harm to babies and children, a new study warned this week.
Scientists Find Potential Universal Anti-Venom to Treat Snakebites, from Kraits to King Cobras.
Researchers at Scripps Research Institute then found that the antibody protected mice against this variety of snake venom, and the scientists published their work in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Scientists found that the children living in places with 20-25% more natural areas had increased bone strength that was equivalent to half a year’s natural growth. The study also found that the risk of having very low bone density was about 65% lower for these children.
The link between green spaces and stronger bones is likely to result from higher levels of physical activity in children who live near parks, as this spurs bone growth.
From Science to Humanity’s Well-Being: 9 Extraordinary Examples of the Power of Music
1️⃣ Well-Being and Music: Using Music to Reduce Pain and Feelings of “Unpleasantness”
#Research has shown that music has the power to reduce physical pain and provide comfort. And an October 2023 paper published in Frontiers in Pain Research added to that body of research, finding that listening to your favorite songs is particularly effective.

Johns Hopkins researchers find minimal regret after gender affirming surgery
In a Viewpoint article published Dec. 27, 2023, in JAMA Surgery, three Johns Hopkins researchers urge the medical community to dismiss a widely held, but scientifically unsupported belief that many people who are transgender and gender diverse (TGD), and undergo gender affirming surgery (GAS), later regret their decision to undergo such procedures.
Scientists Destroy 99% of Cancer Cells in The Lab Using Vibrating Molecules
The research team from Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas, says the new approach is a marked improvement over another kind of cancer-killing molecular machine previously developed, called Feringa-type motors, which could also break the structures of problematic cells.
"It is a whole new generation of molecular machines that we call molecular jackhammers."
And here is the article that led me to pose the question and do a little research of my own.

9️⃣18 Cancer Patients Went Into Remission After a New Treatment
Cancer research is making incredible progress, and more people are surviving than decades past. A study from March was the perfect example of this progress, with about one-third of clinical trial participants — 18 individuals — going into remission.

A known carcinogen is showing up in wildfire ash, and researchers are worried
Though the researchers only found hexavalent chromium in samples of wildfire ash and not wildfire smoke itself, Fendorf said they inferred that it was likely also present in the smoke. He said the team intends to collect samples from wildfire smoke in the future to test that hypothesis.

AI-screened eye pics diagnose childhood autism with 100% accuracy
“Although future studies are required to establish generalizability, our study represents a notable step toward developing objective screening tools for ASD, which may help address urgent issues such as the inaccessibility of specialized child psychiatry assessments due to limited resources,” said the researchers.

An end to breast cancer? California company develops groundbreaking vaccine with promising future
A groundbreaking vaccine created through decades of research at the Cleveland Clinic and developed by Anixa Biosciences in San Jose, California is driving innovation by targeting triple-negative breast cancer, the disease's deadliest and most aggressive form.
New Tests May Finally Diagnose Long COVID
Some patients say their symptoms are not taken seriously by their doctors and employers may be skeptical of their condition.
Now a new preprint study suggests that the elevation of certain immune system proteins are a commonality in long COVID patients and identifying them may be an accurate way to diagnose the condition.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have successfully used a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique to modulate deep brain activity, leading to enhanced motor learning, especially in older adults. This finding, published in Nature Neuroscience, has significant implications for understanding brain function and could pave the way for new treatments for various brain disorders

Millennials say they need $525,000 a year to be happy. A Nobel prize winner's research shows they're not wrong.
A new survey found:
* The average person needs $1.2 million in the bank to be happy.
* For millennials, happiness would come from a $525,000 annual salary.
*Still, high inflation, interest rates, and student loans damper Americans' financial happiness.
