WashPo: A precise way to measure pain still eludes doctors and sufferers
Scientists hope to identify biomarkers among the proteins, hormones and metabolites that have been linked to pain. One researcher has been developing a way to measure the pain sensations transmitted by nerve fibers in the body.
Doctors said the ability to measure pain using these markers would improve the accuracy of diagnoses and help determine how effective medications are in easing their patients’ suffering.
CleanTechnica: Debunking The Myth: Green Hydrogen Is Essential To Displace Current Industrial Hydrogen Use, Not As An Energy Source
Shifting from fossil hydrogen is akin to turning off a leaky tap—a necessary first step toward stemming the tide of industrial emissions. Despite being promoted extensively as a universal replacement fuel for heavy industry, hydrogen’s role in decarbonization is frequently misunderstood or exaggerated. The perception that hydrogen can broadly replace fossil fuels across industrial sectors suffers from a classic case of overgeneralization. While hydrogen indeed holds promise in specific niches, particularly in steelmaking through hydrogen direct reduction and certain chemical production processes, it is not the all-encompassing solution that many proponents suggest (Gielen, Saygin, & Wagner, 2022).
