Peru’s central coastline has been hit by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake, the US Geological Survey (USGS) says. The tremor, with its epicentre some 15km (nine miles) south-east of the city of Ica, hit just after midnight (05:00 GMT) at a depth of 39km (24 miles), the USGS said. The quake was felt in central and southern parts of the country. The scale of the damage is not yet clear but Peruvian media reported that at least 60 people had been injured. “The majority are suffering trauma and cuts,” Fernando Leon Castaneda, manager of a local hospital, told Radio Programas del Peru (RPP). None of the injuries were considered life-threatening, officials said. Electricity supplies were knocked out in Ica but so far there are no reports of major damage. The province of Ica was struck by a 7.9-magnitude undersea earthquake in 2007 that left thousands homeless. BBC

Jennifer Lopez and her estranged husband Marc Anthony have reunited again, at least on television. The two stars could be seen together on ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen as the series premièred last night on the US Spanish language network Univision. Filming on the series began in July, the same month that the couple announced they were splitting after seven years of marriage. The reality show was shot around Latin American and took the superstar exes to more than a dozen countries in search of the best dancers, singers and musicians. 

_Las mujeres sienten el dolor con más intensidad que los hombres, según se desprende de un estudio masivo de la Universidad de Stanford realizado con registros electrónicos de más de 72.000 pacientes. Los datos muestran que, por término medio, las mujeres registraron niveles de dolor hasta un punto más elevados en una escala del 1 al 10, donde 0 significa “ningún dolor” y 10 “el peor dolor imaginable”. La diferencia es notable teniendo en cuenta que, cuando el dolor aumenta en un punto, los médicos lo consideran un indicador de que la medicación contra el dolor no funciona adecuadamente. La percepción del dolor se incrementaba sobre todo para ellas en 14 de un total de 47 categorías de enfermedades, principalmente relacionadas con problemas musculoesqueléticos (dolores de cuello, espalda y articulaciones), hipertensión y sinusitis. Las migrañas también resultaron ser más agudas entre las féminas.  No obstante, según Atul Butte, coautor del trabajo, no está claro si las mujeres perciben fisiológicamente más dolor ante las mismas patologías o solamente reconocen sentir más dolor que los hombres. De hecho, Butte y su equipo están enfrascados en la búsqueda de una medida objetiva del dolor, cuantificable en un análisis de sangre, que se correlacione con el nivel de dolor percibido por los pacientes. “Necesitamos encontrar un biomarcador para el dolor”, asegura. -MuyInteresante
