Original: Dr. Thomas, @colloca_luana, et al. tested the hypotheses that pain resilience is negatively associated with pain interference, and pain resilience is positively associated with placebo effects via reinforced expectations of analgesia. FULL: jpain.org/article/S1526-5900…

No cherubic offensive hotshots running the Ravens, please. In my opinion, Baltimore’s searching sequence should go Flores-Minter-Stefanski-Saleh-Hafley

I truly don't understand why Derek Henry isn't playing. He's got to be hurt, or this is insane.

In the 8 years before I was elected, Marylanders saw the nonfatal shooting rate double, the homicide rate nearly double, and a Baltimore that experienced a homicide a day. Now, we’re seeing some of the most significant drops in violent crime across the country, stronger partnerships between communities and law enforcement, and common-sense steps to keep violence out of our communities.

"What began in the 19th century as an early sense of duty to tend to the dying eventually led to the wholesale medicalisation of death that we see today." Medicine must accept death as a natural part of life, writes @AnitaHannig bmj.com/content/387/bmj.q270…
