Some 103 million American adults have high blood pressure, which can vary in degree from relatively mild to life-threatening. Treatment typically involves dietary changes, exercise, and other lifestyle adjustments, and/or medications such as calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers. Symptoms Hypertension has earned a descriptive—and important—nickname: “the silent killer.” This is because, aside from elevated blood pressure readings, it does not cause noticeable symptoms. The American Heart Association (AHA) does, however, recognize a handful of symptoms that may be associated with high blood pressure....

Fridley recently went on the record with Pure Xbox to discuss various aspects of the game, including the Metroidvania nature of exploration which features levels that may feel open to some players. Metroidvania games have expanded beyond the humble Castlevania and Metroid beginnings to include titles like Hollow Knight, Returnal, Dead Cells, and High on Life when it releases on December 13. The first High on Life reveal happened during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase from earlier this year which also included the likes of Ark 2, Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Starfield, and it has since received only a few other details along the way....

Calcaterra, daughter of NBC sports reporter Craig Calcaterra who shared the map on Twitter, has made sweeping changes to the United States with her map. As detailed in the “patch notes,” she has combined New Hampshire and Vermont to “New Hampsmont,” and has removed Wyoming completely as it has been “deemed unnecessary.” The “Four Corners” have been replaced by “Ohio 2,” and the west coast has been replaced by what is now “Long Chile....

The cosmic event was first noticed by astronomers thanks to the efforts of Ginevra Zaccagnini and Jackson Codd, both high school interns from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The two interns had been working with Vikram Ravi, assistant professor of astronomy at Caltech, in 2018 and 2019 while he was at Harvard University. Looking through archived data at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s (NRAO’s) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, the students noticed that an object in space known as J1533+2727 was bright in the mid-90s but had faded by 2017....

Bharat FC troubled the away team’s defence early in the game but Eugeneson Lyngdoh’s deft strike from outside the box in the 29th minute seemed to deflate the home team. CK Vineeth then found the back of the net in the 56th minute, having displayed tremendous skill to carve out the opportunity. Having doubled their advantage, Bengaluru FC looked comfortable for the rest of the game. The victory puts Bengaluru FC on par with Mohun Bagan at the top of the table with 28 points....

Minecraft has featured villagers since 2012, and these passive mobs have since given players the chance to trade items as well as populate their own town creations with them. Placing certain job blocks down can change the profession and look of these villagers, also altering what players can acquire from them through trades. RELATED: Minecraft Player Mines the Entire Map In this clip, shared by u/Lachie_mat3281, the player is shown wandering around a typical village in Minecraft’s Plains biome....

The now-viral Reddit post was captioned: “A notice sent to all people in a housing complex.” It contained a missive targeting residents who allow their pets in the basement and lawn and urging owners to keep their canines on a leash as not everybody is a “dog lover.” The notice also includes a list of excuses used by dog owners, one of which states their pet “never does anything.”...

This was no different for Bobby Madley, who managed to anger both sets of fans during Manchester United’s 2-0 win over leaders Chelsea. The referee first missed a clear handball from United’s Ander Herrera in the build-up to Marcus Rashford’s opening goal. Chelsea striker Diego Costa was then fortunate not to be sent off on a number of occasions. The Spain forward first shoved Eric Bailly into the post in the opening stages before picking up a booking for a late challenge on Paul Pogba....

Three coaches have come and gone as the Mexican managerial conveyor belt moves swiftly along, allowing little room for error. Now comes the World Cup playoff first leg Wednesday, bringing an early judgment day for the newcomer to the hot-seat. Miguel Herrera's infectious personality and motivational skills have been brought in to get a sinking ship back on course, but, as New Zealand coach Ricki Herbert pointed out on Tuesday, he has no international experience....

The video of Walker’s remarks shared to Twitter has now been viewed more than 400,000 times, with some social media users strongly criticizing the Republican and suggesting his comments were defamatory. The footage was shared on Monday by Twitter account PatriotTakes, which describes itself as “researchers monitoring and exposing right-wing extremism”. It also said Walker’s comments as “a potential defamation lawsuit.” Walker was discussing Warnock and told his audience: “You all know what he did at that camp as well....

Baker must compete for attention with other highbrow sex books out in time for Valentine’s Day. But compared to “The Fermata”–the title refers to the musical symbol for an indefinite pause they’re a tame lot. Robert Olen Butler, who won a Pulitzer last year for his understated short stories of Vietnamese emigres, has unleashed They Whisper (333 pages. Holt. $22.50), a novel overstuffed with rhapsodic sex scenes-and sentences that run on and on to show how jeeped up the characters are....

Bayern’s title celebrations got underway after full-time but they concluded playing commitments at the Allianz Arena for the season in inauspicious fashion as Tayfun Korkut’s visitors ran out 4-1 winners. Corentin Tolisso cancelled out Daniel Ginczek’s early opener for Stuttgart but Anastasios Donis ensured the seventh-placed finishers led at the break and a slick counter-attacking display continued during the second half. Chadrac Akolo was on target and Ginczek completed his brace within seven minutes of the restart, sealing a result that means Stuttgart will qualify for the Europa League if Bayern beat Eintracht Frankfurt - led by incoming Bayern boss Niko Kovac for the final time - in Berlin next weekend....

Making a game today requires many skills, and in a sense the 38-year-old Kojima has been preparing for MGS2 his entire life. As a child growing up in Kobe, Japan, he played outdoor games like thief-and-detective (the Japanese equivalent of hide-and-seek) with his friends, flattening himself against walls and peeking around corners in much the same way as Solid Snake, the hero of MGS2, does today. In middle school he wrote five 600-page science-fiction novels, then took up filmmaking when a friend brought a Super 8 camera to school–charging neighborhood kids 50 yen each to see his movies....

RPLS is usually associated with an episode of extremely high blood pressure or with the use of some drugs. It’s called “reversible” because, in many cases, it’s not permanent. However, it can still occasionally be a very serious, even fatal condition, and the syndrome may develop in an unpredictable way before it resolves. In addition, because it is never guaranteed that a stroke or a stroke-like episode will eventually resolve, it is always important to get medical attention immediately for symptoms suggestive of a stroke....

Monocytes work as part of the immune system to help fight infections and diseases. When you have a high monocyte count, it’s called monocytosis. This article discusses the role of these cells and what blood test results would indicate that you have high monocytes. It explores what might cause a high monocyte count, what it means for your health, and what treatment or management might be needed. What Are Monocytes?...

While many shooters seem to have cookie-cutter bosses that only offer a bit of extra challenge for the player, Squanch Games took a very different approach when crafting the bosses for High on Life. Each boss has a distinct role in the G3 Cartel hierarchy, and they all offer plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. No two bosses are alike, and players may be debating who is the best cartel member for years to come....
