Article Abstract
Fear of death is an emotional manifestation of the instinct for self-preservation. Any threat to our existence induces an anxiety response. Death anxiety can trigger obsessive-compulsive behaviours, such as an obsessive passion for work. Using a sample of 314 participants (68.2% female), with a mean age of 38.97 years (SD = 10.36), this study sought to observe the predictive effect of death anxiety on work passion, as well as the moderating effect of work-family centrality and connection on the relationship between anxiety and passion. The results revealed that death anxiety negatively affects harmonious passion, and positively affects obsessive passion. Work centrality did not moderate the influence of death anxiety on harmonious and obsessive passion. Nonetheless, work connection moderated the influence of death anxiety on harmonious passion. The negative influence of death anxiety on harmonious passion was greater in a group with high work connection than a group with low connection.

Background: Myocardial infarctions (MI) significantly contribute to the global disease burden and are often followed by psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These are frequently underrecognized and insufficiently addressed in clinical care. This study aims to investigate the psychosocial impact of MI, identify risk factors for psychological burden following an MI, and gain insight into the perceived psychological care during hospitalization.

In the 21st century, cancer remains shrouded in complex ways, imbued with sociocultural meanings that extend far beyond its clinical and biological aspects. The fear and anxiety surrounding cancer often prompt family and friends to respond with either excessive protection or emotional detachment, leaving patients feeling isolated and unsupported. This article challenges entrenched stereotypes, particularly cultural tendencies in India to conceal cancer diagnoses, associate the disease with karmic retribution, and view it through fatalistic and death-centered perspectives.

Chlorpromazine (CPZ) is a first-generation antipsychotic that has been widely used to treat an array of neurological conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. Treatment of these chronic conditions with CPZ has been linked to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and accumulating evidence supports a link between ROS and chronic and degenerative pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to observe the presence of oxidative stress in porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAE) exposed to different concentrations of CPZ in vitro.
