Why Are There So Many Ways to Measure Pain? Epistemological and Professional Challenges in Medical Standardization by Hanna Grol-Prokopczyk

“…The diverse, arguably unstandardized approaches to measuring pain appear attributable less to pain’s epistemological fragility than to its therapeutic intractability, and to the medical community’s diffuse social structures and professional goals.…”

Nature and culture intertwined or redefined? On the challenges of cultural primatology and sociocultural anthropology by Gabriela Daly Bezerra de Melo

“…To this extent, primatological models of culture that emphasize social learning over methods of elimination appear to meet a demand.  Nature and Culture have become intertwined, but between an over naturalized culture of primatologists and a super socialized culture of anthropologists lays the challenge of redefining both Nature and Culture.…”

Influence of Zinc Supplementation in Acute Diarrhea Differs by the Isolated Organism by Archana B. Patel, Michael J. Dibley, Manju Mamtani, Neetu Badhoniya, Hemant Kulkarni

“…We used data on 801 children with acute diarrhea recruited in a randomized, double blind controlled trial (ISRCTN85071383) of zinc and copper supplementation. Using prespecified subgroup analyses, multidimensionality reduction analyses, tests of heterogeneity, and stepwise logistic regression for tests of interactions, we found that the influence of zinc on the risk of diarrhea for more than 3 days depended on the isolated organism—beneficial in Klebsiella, neutral in Esherichia coli and parasitic infections, and detrimental in rotavirus coinfections. …”
