A doctor examines a patient with a cannula in placeMusic is thought to help relieve the pain of minor medical procedures — but what kind of music works best? New results suggest that it may be your favorite. Patients receiving an intravenous cannula — a brief, minor procedure which can cause some pain — before an MRI listened to either their favorite music, music for relaxation, or a piece of Mozart that has been reported to help people with pain, anxiety, or stress in other experiments. The group who listened to their favorite music experienced the biggest reduction in pain overall, while Mozart helped people who were already in pain before the cannulation. Unexpectedly, relaxation music didn’t help at all. If you hate needles, music might make you feel better during a cannula insertion… but it has to be the right kind of music. Although different musical interventions have repeatedly been reported to help with pain and stress, the evidence varies widely for different types of music and it’s hard to figure out what works best.

Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirm - Geo News
Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirmThe killing of great whites by orcas has been reported in the waters of South Africa, California, and Australia, and the implications that the hunting behaviour would have on the marine ecosystem have been considered. In fact, it all started back on May 3, 2017, when the body of a female great white, weighing 1,100 kilograms, washed ashore in Gansbaai, close to Cape Town, with a deep gash through which its 90-kilogram liver had been extracted. Five more corpses of great whites appeared with similar wounds in the coming months, as claimed by shark biologist Alison Towner of Rhodes University. Two adult males, called Port and Starboard, who are supposed to be brothers judging by their dorsal fins that fold differently, were identified as the most probable perpetrators. The connection was officially established in 2022 based on video footage of a drone that caught three orcas chasing and biting a 3-meter great white off Mossel Bay. The sharks quickly disappeared from Dyer Island, one of the best places in the world to witness a great white.
