aorta

Memorial services for Sen. Lindsey Graham, who represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate since 2003 and died on July 11 at 71 from an aortic tear, are scheduled for July 28 in Washington, D.C., followed by memorials in Columbia and Pickens County. Graham’s sister, Darline, was sworn in to finish his term, and a special Republican primary for his Senate seat is set for August, with the winner facing Democratic nominee Annie Andrews in November.

Monica Deyanira Cabrera Barajas, a 26-year-old Mexican TikToker, discovered her missing nose ring had migrated to her lungs, causing a month-long cough. The jewelry was dangerously close to her aorta, requiring a complex medical procedure to remove after initial attempts failed.
