In animal studies, researchers have developed an injectable cardiac stimulator for emergency situations. The illustration shows how the injectable heart stimulator is supposed to work when fully developed and tested. Figure: created with biorender.com.

Simon Boas, who wrote a candid account of living with cancer, passed away on July 15 at the age of 47. In a recent BBC interview, the former aid worker told the reporter: “My pain is under control and I’m terribly happy – it sounds weird to say, but I’m as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.”It may seem odd that a person could be happy as the end draws near, but in my experience as a clinical psyc
