Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

224
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Overview of Cell Death01:30

Overview of Cell Death

7.5K
Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

Free-falling Bodies: Introduction01:07

Free-falling Bodies: Introduction

8.4K
All objects, neglecting air resistance, fall with the same acceleration towards the Earth's center due to the force exerted by the Earth's gravity. This experimentally determined fact is unexpected because we are so accustomed to the effects of air resistance and friction that we expect light objects to fall slower than heavier ones. People believed that a heavier object had a greater acceleration when falling until Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) proved otherwise. We now know this is...

Free-falling Bodies: Example01:05

Free-falling Bodies: Example

16.2K
An object falling without any air resistance under the influence of gravitational force is said to be in free-fall. For free-falling bodies, the acceleration due to gravity is constant, irrespective of their mass. Free-fall is experienced not only by objects falling downward, but also by all objects whose motion is influenced by gravitational force alone. The dynamics of free-fall motion can be calculated using kinematic equations of motion, since free-fall acceleration is constant.

Autophagic Cell Death01:18

Autophagic Cell Death

3.5K
Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving01:17

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

131
Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

    Summary

    This interview discusses the Lancet Commission

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Palliative Care
    • Sociology of Death

    Background:

    • The 'Report of the Lancet Commission on the Value of Death: Bring Death Back to Life' was published in January 2022.
    • There is a growing need to re-evaluate current end-of-life care practices and the societal understanding of death.
    • Palliative care, while important, may not fully address the broader societal and existential aspects of dying.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the motivations behind the Lancet Commission's call for a re-evaluation of end-of-life care.
    • To discuss the key findings and implications of the 'Value of Death' report.
    • To reflect on the limitations of the report and suggest avenues for future action and reader engagement.

    Main Methods:

    • An interview format featuring lead authors Dr. Libby Sallnow and Dr. Richard Smith.

  • Discussion facilitated by Julian Abel (Compassionate Communities UK) and Allan Kellehear (Palliative Care & Social Practice).
  • Exploration of the report's core arguments and societal context.

    • Main Results:

    • The report argues for a fundamental review of how society approaches death and dying.
    • It highlights the need to reintegrate the concept of death into societal understanding and practices.
    • The interview addresses both the strengths of the report and acknowledges areas for further consideration.

    Conclusions:

    • A critical re-examination of end-of-life care, including palliative care, is necessary.
    • Societal engagement and individual contributions are vital to implementing the report's recommendations.
    • The report challenges conventional approaches, advocating for a more holistic and integrated view of death.
