Ruel Finds Exactly What He's Been Looking for on New Single ‘I Can Die Now'
Ruel is done searching. On his latest single 'I Can Die Now,' the Australian musician has found everything he's been looking for: an all-encompassing love and even the musical direction driving his forthcoming studio album, arriving later this year. 'I've been waiting for what seems like forever to get I Can Die Now out,' Ruel shared in a statement. 'I love the juxtaposition between the title and the theme and energy of the song — once you listen to it, you'll know what I mean. On top of that, ICDN is the first taste of what my new album might be like.'

The New Era Of Ruel!
RUEL INTRODUCES HIS NEW ERA WITH THE RELEASE OF INFECTIOUS SINGLE'I CAN DIE NOW' OUT NOW VIA RECESS RECORDS / VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP AND GIANT MUSIC POP-UP EVENT FRIDAY NIGHT AT LOS ANGELES' HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY Australian pop-sensation Ruel has shared his exhilarating new single 'I Can Die Now', available now via Recess Records / Virgin Music Group and Giant Music. Produced and Co-written by GRAMMY-nominated Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter, One Direction) along with Ammo (Beyoncé, Britney Spears), JKash (Charlie Puth, Dua Lipa), Mark Schick (Nessa Barrett, Benson Boone) and Ed Drewett (Niall Horan), 'I Can Die Now ' is a high-energy, emotionally charged pop anthem that captures the dizzying rush of falling head over heels in love. This track provides the very first taste of what's to come from Ruel 's highly anticipated sophomore album coming late 2025, setting the stage for his bold and expansive new chapter. Additionally, Ruel will accompany the release with the official music video this Tuesday July 22 - directed by sweetiepie (Neema Sadeghi + Ethan Frank) whose credits include Gracie Abrams, Role Model and Lizzy McAlpine. It will make its broadcast premiere at 1am NZ on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards. The song's tongue-in-cheek, highly engaging campaign is centred around a fictional medical diagnosis called 'Intense Conditional Desire Neurosis' (ICDN) Syndrome - the concept stems from the single's surreal music video, which follows a love-struck, hospitalised Ruel slipping in and out of consciousness. Fans will be invited into this vivid world through immersive, interactive content and storytelling that brings the idea to life with humour and heart. To celebrate the release, Ruel is hosting a special pop-up event tonight at LA's iconic Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where he'll give the first live performance of 'I Can Die Now' in the U.S. The song previously made its live debut during his Red Bull Symphonic shows in Sydney. Ruel on the single: "I've been waiting for what seems like forever to get I Can Die Now out. I love the juxtaposition between the title and the theme and energy of the song - once you listen to it, you'll know what I mean. On top of that, ICDN is the first taste of what my new album might be like…' 'I Can Die Now' was written during a session in Nashville and marks a defining moment in what's been a breakthrough year for Ruel. After moving to Los Angeles and signing with Recess Records / Virgin Music Group (AU & NZ), and Giant Music (ROW), he tapped into a new wave of top-tier producers and songwriters, unlocking a bold new sound. The single captures the confidence and creative freedom driving this next chapter. The track follows a packed 2024, which saw Ruel release his 4th EP and first covers project, ADAPTATIONS as well as taking to the stage for his first-ever live appearance at Lollapalooza Chicago, which was an undeniable audience highlight. This festival debut adds to his already standout list of global domination, having already racked up four sold-out world tours, a performance at Tyler, the Creator 's Camp Flog Gnaw and multiple guest appearances at Coachella, with artists such as SG Lewis and longtime collaborator Omar Apollo.

How churros inspired a new approach to heart surgery
Article content That is changing for some patients. Ruel performs minimally invasive surgeries involving a small incision between the ribs without cutting the breastbone in about 200 open heart surgeries a year (including some CABG surgeries). But sternotomies remain common and so do the risks. Article content The BEaTS Churro Project addresses both of those issues in a way that could change bypass surgery by creating grafts for patients without healthy blood vessels and by allowing surgery to be done without any cutting into the chest. Article content Article content Muñoz, Alarcon and their team created a miniature nozzle inspired by the churro nozzle. It is designed to extrude a synthetic vascular graft made from liquid biopolymer in real time, making 3D printed blood vessels on a miniature scale. The polymer passes through the nozzle and forms a tube with fibres aligned in a circular pattern, mimicking the structure of blood vessels. The polymer becomes a solid tube after it is cured using blue light — similar to what dentists use. Article content Article content That biomanufactured graft cues the body to invade and repopulate it with cells, turning it into a healthy graft. Article content The team also developed a miniature 'landing pad' under the leadership of visiting international student Manuel Calderon that attaches to the aorta, a key step that in the future could enable doctors to produce synthetic grafts in real time using catheters. Article content For Muñoz and team, being able to perform bypass surgery through catheters and without an incision in the chest is the dream outcome of the innovative research. Reaching that goal would be a world first, he said, and would allow patients to be released from hospital quickly with little post-operative risk. Article content 'It is a dream we hope for in the future,' he said. 'We see this as a major breakthrough in cardiac surgery for the future.' Article content That could be 10 to 15 years down the road, he said, but the first steps toward that goal have been successful. Article content Article content The team patented and published a paper on the miniature nozzle which is able to make blood vessels but there is still work to be done to put the pieces together and to test them, he said. Article content The BEaTS team is not the first to attempt to make vascular grafts for those whose own blood vessels are not suitable. Article content Solving that puzzle would represent a major breakthrough for bypass surgery, he said. Article content It is the kind of problem that called for a creative solution. Article content

Slipper makers from Liliw, Laguna get free medical services from GMA Kapuso Foundation
Slipper makers from Liliw, Laguna received free medical services from GMA Kapuso Foundation just in time for Hypertension Awareness Month this May. According to '24 Oras' Friday, among the slipper makers from the municipality is Alma Dadis, who takes maintenance medicines for high blood pressure. 'Lagi pong nahihilo, nasakit ang ulo ko tsaka sa may batok,' Alma said. Her coworker, Ruel Opeña, also shared his struggles with high blood pressure but mentioned prioritizing his child's needs as a single parent over getting checked by a doctor. ''Pag ako nagpapa-BP, mataas ang BP ko, 180 over 120,' Ruel said. GMA Kapuso Foundation offered free ECG (electrocardiogram) tests to check for heart problems and hemoglobin A1C blood tests to determine their blood sugar levels over the past three months. Consultations and health lectures were also part of the program. 'Ang normal po na blood pressure, according po sa American Heart Association 2024, hindi po hihigit sa 120 na systolic at hindi po hihigit sa 80 na diastolic pressure. Kapag po more than 130, hypertensive na po ang isang pasyente. Puwede pong magresulta po sa pagkakaroon ng sakit sa puso, sakit sa bato, at stroke kapag hindi po naagapan,' said Dra. Cristina Tabucan-Mendoza, an adult cardiologist and internal medicine specialist. During the event, Ruel was indeed confirmed to have high blood pressure. He was prescribed and given medication. 'Advice po ay ituloy po natin 'yung monthly follow-up sa ating mga health center at sa main health center,' said Liliw Municipal Health Officer Dr. John Calvin Lagutin. In addition to the medical services, the beneficiaries also received medicines, giveaways, food, and protective gloves, which they can use for work. Meanwhile, the GMA Kapuso Foundation with the help of the Office of Civil Defense have sent relief goods to Maguinanao del Sur via a Philippine Air Force C-130 aircraft for those who have been affected by flooding due to the relentless rain. The relief goods will be distributed to residents of Datu Abdullah Sangki this weekend. For those who want to take part in GMA Kapuso Foundation's initiatives, you may send your donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.

Trump threats open 'floodgate' of inquiries from U.S. physicians about moving north
Social Sharing Renowned Ottawa heart surgeon Marc Ruel was planning a move to the United States last year, with the University of California, San Francisco "thrilled to announce" that he would be leading a heart division in their surgery department. But Donald Trump's threats toward Canada were such that Ruel has now decided to remain in Canada. "Canada is under duress right now," he told CBC. "I felt my role and duty at this point was to directly serve my country from within." Ruel is not the only medical professional now reluctant to work in the United States. That means Canada's health-care system could stand to benefit from the political upheaval unleashed by the U.S. president, as American physicians look to move north and Canadians forgo opportunities south of the border. 'I don't want to do politics' For over a decade, Ruel served as the head of cardiac surgery at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, developing world-leading techniques in less invasive bypass surgery. Ruel says he considers his skills a product of Canada, abilities that he was ready to share globally when he accepted the position at UCSF last year. "In the western United States, no one does this more advanced, minimally invasive multiple bypass surgery," he said. Ruel has not previously spoken publicly about his decision to remain in Canada, partly to avoid wading into politics. "I don't want to do politics, I'm a surgeon, I'm not a politician and I respect every nation's choice to choose their own destiny," he said. But Trump's imposition of tariffs and threats to annex the the country that's historically been its closest ally has made geopolitics an unavoidable issue. "I had to most unfortunately change my decision," Ruel said. "I say unfortunately because there were patients there in California, I can tell you, who we're looking forward to having this type of surgery." Given the broader context, Ruel says staying put was the best decision. "I'm very happy to be here and to serve, as well as I can, my fellow Canadians," he said. Meanwhile in the U.S., many physicians are considering whether they can continue doing their jobs under a second Trump administration. CBC spoke with two American physicians seeking to relocate to Canada and a third who recently moved to B.C. The three declined to speak on the record, citing a fear of retribution for speaking critically of the Trump administration. But they shared concerns over health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advancing an anti-science and vaccine-skeptical agenda. This past week, U.S. media reported that Kennedy had hired David Geier, a vaccine skeptic, to study links between immunizations and autism. Geier, who was censured in 2012 for practising medicine without a license in Maryland, has previously published debunked claims about vaccines increasing the risk of autism, which critics say pre-ordain the outcome of any subsequent investigation led by him. On Thursday, Kennedy also announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs as part of a restructuring of federal public health agencies. A 'floodgate' opening Concerns over the political climate in the U.S. has opened a "floodgate" of inquiries about moving to Canada, according to recruiter Michelle Flynn. "The amount of interest has more than doubled over the last several months," she told CBC. The CEO of CanAm Physician Recruiting Inc., Flynn recruits U.S.-trained physicians to work in Canada and places Canadian specialists in roles in the U.S. Lately though, she has struggled to get any Canadians interested in moving south. "I started a position for an [obstetrician-gynecologist] in the U.S. before President Trump was elected," she said. "We since have had to scrap that idea totally. Nobody is going to the U.S." To deal with the influx of inquiries from American physicians wanting to come to Canada, Flynn said she is now conducting interviews five days a week, up from three days a week previously. "We're getting 60-plus physicians coming to and registering on our website a month," she said. Canada is now in a better position to welcome U.S.-trained physicians than in the past, as most provinces have removed barriers to licensing in recent years. Ontario in particular is well placed to receive American doctors, according to the provincial health ministry. "There is no doubt the U.S. is facing economic uncertainty at the hands of President Trump's tariffs," the Ministry of Health said in an emailed statement. "We have taken steps to break down barriers for internationally educated healthcare workers… working with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) to remove unnecessary red tape to allow physicians who are trained and Board Certified in the U.S. to practice in Ontario immediately." After introducing this new licensing pathway, the CPSO registered 351 U.S. physicians between 2023 and the end of 2024, a spokesperson said. So far this year, CPSO has received registration applications from 240 physicians who are U.S. educated. Most of them are currently practicing in the U.S., the spokesperson said. Given the disruption caused by Trump, Ruel believes Canada is "the best-situated" country to face an uncertain future.
