Disposable hypodermic needles are a necessary tool in maintaining cattle health. They provide a convenient and economical route to deliver products to animals in a safe and effective manner.
According to the CDC, about one in four adults has a fear of needles. Many of those people say the phobia started when they were kids. For some people, the fear of needles is strong enough that they avoid getting important treatments, vaccines or tests. That poses a serious problem for public health. Researchers have helped develop a five step plan to help prevent what they call "needless pain" for kids getting injections or their blood drawn. Guest host Tom Dreisbach talks with Dr. Stefan Friedrichsdorf of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals, who works with a team to implement the plan at his own hospital. Friedrichsdorf told us some of the most important research on eliminating pain has come from researchers in Canada. Learn more about their work here. This episode was inspired by the reporting of our colleague April Dembosky, a journalist at member station KQED and KFF Health News. Read her digital story here. Got another question for a doctor?

Juho Aalto, a researcher at the University of Helsinki and Director of the Hyytiälä Forest Station, provides a fascinating insight into the world of Christmas trees. According to his research, a typical Christmas tree culled from the Finnish forest boasts around 200,000 needles. This figure is based on an average European spruce, often found in the underbrush of Finnish forests.
Aalto points out that cultivated spruces, due to their thicker stems, can have significantly more needles than their wild counterparts.
