Over twenty years have passed since published "The Girl Who Cried Pain: A Bias Against Women in the Treatment of Pain." This article revisits the conclusions drawn in that piece and explores what we have learned in the last two decades regarding the experience of men and women who have chronic pain and whether women continue to be treated less aggressively for their pain than men.

Although buprenorphine use has increased dramatically over the past decade, its unique pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic profile often leads to misconceptions about its overall utility and has created a drastic underrepresentation in patients with chronic non-can- cer pain. A common misnomer associated with buprenorphine is because of 'partial agonist' activity, it exhibits a plateauing of typical opioid-related side effects (including respiratory depression, constipation, euphoria, and hypogonadal axis suppression), but additionally it must exhibit a plateauing effect of overall analgesic potential. However, novel downstream molecular and cellular mechanisms offer new insights that help support the clinical potential that buprenorphine's analgesic actions may not have a ceiling, like its side effect profile.

Background: Our aim was to evaluate infant behavioral state, stool microbiome profile and calprotectin in infants with infantile colic receiving a partially hydrolyzed protein formula with or without added Lacticaseibacillus (formerly Lactobacillus) rhamnosus GG (LGG).

Methods: In this single-center, double-blind, controlled, parallel, prospective study, term infants (14-28 days of age) identified with colic (using modified Wessel's criteria: cried and/or fussed ≥ 3 h/day for ≥ 3 days/week, in a one-week period) were randomized to receive one of two formulas over a three-week feeding period: marketed partially hydrolyzed cow's milk-based infant formula (PHF, n = 35) or a similar formula with added LGG (PHF-LGG, n = 36). Parent-reported infant behavior was recorded at three time points (Study Days 2-4, 10-12, and 18-20).
