Although death is inevitable as a human being, talking about or planning for it may be an uncomfortable topic. Recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are witnessing an increase in deaths around us as well as globally, and health and social services professionals are more engaged in the death, dying, and bereavement services than ever. Dr. Eyetsemitan's book, , would be a great textbook assisting health and social service professionals and students at both undergraduate and graduate levels to understand the concepts of death, dying, and bereavement across cultures. Additional relevant grief theories/models, diverse views, and customs/rituals in losses and grief provide useful supporting information.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a life-threatening disease that was declared a pandemic in March 2020. Organ transplant recipients are vulnerable to infection and complications from COVID-19. The objective of this study was to investigate the rates of infection, mortality, and case-fatality ratios (CFR) in solid organ transplant recipients and patients on the waiting list for organ allocation in the period prior to the availability of specific vaccines.

Loss of neuronal activity facilitates surface accumulation of p75NTR and cell death in avian cochlear nucleus.

Sensorineural hearing loss causes cell death in central auditory neurons, but molecular mechanisms of triggering this process are not fully understood. We report here that loss of afferent activity promotes cell death by facilitating proBDNF-p75NTR signals in cochlear nucleus of chicks around hatch. RNA-seq analyses revealed up-regulation of genes related to proBDNF-p75NTR-JNK signals as well as apoptosis at the nucleus within 24hours after unilateral cochlea deprivation.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic children and young people (CYP) mortality in England reduced to the lowest on record, but it is unclear if the mechanisms which facilitated a reduction in mortality had a longer lasting impact, and what impact the pandemic, and its social restrictions, have had on deaths with longer latencies (e.g., malignancies).
