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.

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>
