SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by JaseCaseMedical.com
New research has found that the simple act of holding a loved one’s hand reduces pain. Researchers at University of Colorado found in their study of 22 long-term couples that: “The more empathic the partner…the stronger the analgesic effect”. Lead author of the study, Pavel Goldstein, said the idea for the study came to him while witnessing the birth of his daughter, and he wondered what he could do to alleviate the pain his wife was experiencing, and, “I reached for her hand and it seemed to help.”

As he awaits his May trial date for sex-trafficking charges and more, Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed a $100 million lawsuit against NBCUniversal and Peacock over what the rapper calls an “outrageous set of fresh lies and conspiracy theories.” The Bad Boy Records founder is upset about how he was depicted and described in the damning “Diddy: Making of a Bad Boy” documentary that launched January 14 on the streamer. He claims in his suit that the “trusted name in news…made a conscious decision to line their own pockets at the expense of truth, decency, and basic standards of professional journalism.”

A study claims that senior citizens are the happiest of all generations.
If you’ve ever wondered why some people can’t stand the taste of coffee, while others can’t get enough, and why some need to dilute its taste with cream and sugar while others will only drink it black, German researchers have an answer for you. A team from Munich’s Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology found that not everyone experiences the bitter compounds found in coffee the same way. The results revealed striking differences in bitter perception based on genetics. Eight out of 11 test subjects were able to perceive a bitter taste in coffee, one found it slightly bitter, and 2 didn’t notice any bitter taste at all.
Even after 5,000 years in a sarcophagus, mummified bodies from ancient Egypt still smell quite nice, scientists say. Researchers who examined 9 mummies found that though there was some difference in the intensity of their odors, all could be described as “woody”, “spicy” and “sweet”. And they plan to recreate those smells chemically to allow others to “share the experience we had smelling the mummified bodies”. The mummy-scents will be presented at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
