Heather Ann Peters, 74, an anthropologist, global human-rights activist and former Penn professor, died Saturday, April 24, at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center from injuries she sustained in a bicycling accident.
Ms. Peters, an experienced cyclist, was changing lanes near the Philadelphia Museum of Art when she was struck by a vehicle, throwing her from her bicycle. She died a few hours later.
At the time of her death, Ms. Peters and her husband, anthropologist David Feingold, were visiting Philadelphia â something they did twice a year. They were soon due to return to Asia, where they were based in Bangkok but worked on projects in China, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos.
Top 10 People Who Shot Themselves In The Head And Survived
A head shot is almost always a free pass to the graveyard. So it is intriguing to hear of people surviving these injuries, especially when we realize that the survivors doubled as the shooters. Some of the people on this list deliberately hurt themselves in failed attempts at suicide, while others mistakenly shot themselves. There is also one incident that was a failed murder-suicide.
Author’s note: While researching and writing this list, I noticed that the majority of people who commit suicide suffer from depression. Please always reach out to close friends and relatives whenever you feel depressed. Open up to them, and explain your situation. Residents of the US can also call the National Suicide Prevention Helpline at 1-800-273-8255. They are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Their services are free of charge.

Low Profile Thoracic Aortic Endograft Device Reduces Complications and Expands Patient Pool
May 12, 2021 Preliminary results of a clinical trial, presented today at the AATS 101st Annual Meeting, showed that a new, low-profile thoracic aortic endograft is safe and effective in the treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm or penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) diseases. A multi-disciplinary team, led by both cardiac and vascular surgeons as co-investigators, conducted the study in 36 centers in the United States and Japan, enrolling patients between 2016 and 2019.
The trial aimed to measure safety and efficacy of the RELAYPro endovascular device, a second-generation product featuring a dramatically reduced profile and a non-bare stent (NBS) configuration.
Because schwannoma tumors are located in precarious positions, they can be challenging to remove and require a skilled surgeon. Cohen was referred to Dr. Zarina Ali, a neurosurgeon at the new Penn Nerve Center, who performed the surgery.
The Penn Nerve Center, located in University City, is the first interdisciplinary facility in the region to treat nerve disorders, which range from carpal tunnel syndrome to more debilitating spinal cord injuries, traumatic nerve injuries, nerve entrapment, nerve compression and nerve tumors.
The facility centralizes neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, physical therapists, orthopedists, neurologists and radiologists, among others, all in one place. What I loved about (Ali) was that she gave me the big picture of what my options were and the risks involved, Cohen told PhillyVoice. She gave me all the information, but let the decision be mine.
