But when force-feeding is involuntary and the recipient is in a state of high anxiety, the muscles tense up and the procedure can trigger nausea, bleeding, diarrhea and vomiting. "We are humane and compassionate,"; Guantanamo commander Harris told TIME, "but if we tell a detainee to do something, we expect the detainee to do it." As a note scrawled in al-Shehri's medical records put it: "[The prisoner] was informed that dying is not permitted...

Her physical exam was notable for tenderness over her sinuses, allergic "shiners", and significant nasal congestion...
Nose drops developed by Harvard Medical School researchers have impeded the development of Alzheimer’s disease in mice, and an anti-Alzheimer’s nasal spray for humans could be on the horizon. While plaques made up of beta-amyloid proteins accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer’s sufferers, the new vaccine allows the immune system to produce antibodies that fight these proteins. In tests that have are detailed in the latest issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, the vaccine significantly diminished plaques on the brains of treated mice. Similar tests on human subjects began...

The album is further enriched by the tonalities of her voice, occasionally bringing in a slight nasal inflection or dropping to a barely audible whisper. Her guitar style is reminiscent of the late folk-pop great Nick Drake, and her songs evoke dreamy landscapes that will sound familiar to Drake’s fans.
