Abstract
We know that practicing mindfulness in everyday life can help us reduce stress and cultivate deep, embodied well-being, but what about its effects on physical and emotional pain, especially when it seems overwhelming or unrelenting? Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief is a soothing program with guided meditations and teachings. It opens with an overview of seven fundamental attitudes we can develop to cultivate mindfulness in relationship to chronic pain and its incessant challenges, and follows with concepts and practices including: mindful breathing, working with intense sensations, befriending thoughts and emotions, finding refuge in awareness, and bringing mindfulness into every life.

Muscular Dystrophy
Abstract
This guide for families summarizes the results of an international consensus on the medical care of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This effort was supported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with patient advocacy groups and the TREAT-NMD network. The main document is published in Lancet Neurology.
The recommendations are based on an extensive study by 84 international experts in DMD diagnosis and care chosen to represent a broad range of specialties. They independently ?rated? methods of care used in the management of DMD to say how ?necessary?, ?appropriate? or ?inappropriate? each one was at different stages of the course of DMD. In total they considered more than 70,000 different scenarios. This allowed them to establish guidelines that the majority agreed represented the best practice for DMD care.
