But Sabine Combrie has spent more than 25 years asking a different question: what if the place that hurts is only part of the story?

The “Cancer That Won’t Kill You” Is Stealing People’s Hips
In the clinic, a 45-year-old man rolled up his pant leg. The pain was in his groin. It had been three months. He thought it was a herniated disc. He tried ointment and massage. Neither helped. Putting on socks had become hard. He had to lift his leg onto the bed, twist his body, and pull the sock on. The X-ray looked fine. The doctor ordered an MRI of the hip. The image showed a dark band in the femoral head.

I Found a White Nose Hair and Almost Pulled It. Then I Read This.
Many people look in the mirror, see a white hair sticking out of a nostril, and their first reaction is to grab tweezers. Their second reaction is to search on their phone. After searching, they panic even more. Some say this is a sign of bodily decline. Some say it means your life will be short. The tweezers are clamped on the hair. The hand stops midair. Pull or not pull?

Did the Miles Shape the Mind? Inside the New Science of Multi-Marathon Cognition
What if the people logging marathon after marathon really do think differently? That's the question sitting underneath a study published this year in the International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology , led by Leo Lundy and Richard B. Reilly's group at Trinity College Dublin. The researchers gave a battery of cognitive tests to 130 multi-marathoners — people who measure their running careers in repeated marathon finish lines rather than a single race — and compared the results against normative data drawn from a large study of aging adults in Ireland. The multi-marathoners, whose average age was 53, made fewer errors on a task that measures sustained attention, responded faster on tests of cognitive and motor reaction time, and scored higher on a standard screening measure of general cognitive function than the age- and gender-matched comparison sample.
