Bad things happen. Although human society has been remarkably successful in developing techniques to preempt some bad events, the successes have raised expectations.

The aim of this study was to validate the previously reported association between a common non-synonymous polymorphism (R1150W, rs6746030) in SCN9A and chronic widespread pain (CWP), in independent population-based cohort...
متن کاملDual Processes in Mental State Understanding: Is Theorising Synonymous with Intuitive Thinking and is Simulation Synonymous with Reflective Thinking?

To support this proposal we draw upon a range ...
