No one denies that blood can save lives. But experts agree that many of the 3.5 million Americans who receive transfusions each year are taking a needless risk. Smart surgeons already use an array of techniques to avoid transfusion therapy, and researchers are racing to develop others. Here are some of the strategies, proven and experimental, that could help keep anonymous blood out of your veins: “The safest transfusion is no transfusion,” says Dr....
Harvard cardiologist Paul Ridker, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, tested nearly 28,000 women for both LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and blood levels of a substance called C-reactive protein, or CRP, an indicator of arterial inflammation. After eight years, he tallied up heart attacks and strokes among the women. Adjusting for risk factors like smoking and diabetes, he found that high cholesterol increased the women’s heart-attack risk up to 1....
We’ve seen this movie before. In the 1920’s King Amanullah Khan tried to modernize Afghanistan—creating schools for girls, ending strict dress codes for women, and abolishing child marriage. Anti-reformers revolted in 1924 in what is called the Khost Rebellion. It was suppressed but only after 14,000 people died. The king was forced to abdicate in 1929 by a mullah, who closed all the schools within nine months and called girls studying overseas back home....
Among the earliest types of simulation games, flight simulators have filled an important niche as both a legitimate training method for real-world pilots and as a way for consumers to get as close to the real deal as possible without the financial burden or other risks associated with private aviation. While more casual flying games like Ace Combat go for a simple arcade-style approach to aviation, true flight simulators tend to be far more complex and are practically a hobby in themselves....
When that is said about a score of 194/5, it gives you some idea of what Australia expect themselves to make on the Sydney surface against a competent Indian bowling unit. In the 3rd and final T20I at the same venue, Wade will look to carry on from his threatening display which tormented the Indians until a comical catch-turned-runout cut his innings short. Speaking of short, the other Australian opener, D’Arcy Short, would be sweating over his place in the side after striking at less than a run-a-ball in both games so far....
Team India did well to restrict the hosts to a total of 338 after the Aussies were 206-2 at one stage. It was now the turn of the batsmen to back up the good work done by the bowlers. Both Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma looked confident in their footwork and dominated the Australian bowlers. Their intent could be seen even in their defensive strokes and that always disheartens the bowling side....
Kohli entered England on the back of a poor run of form, but still had his merits from 2018 to his advantage. It all collapsed as soon as he was exposed to the fourth stump line. Kohli has experienced difficulty in judging such deliveries from pacers, which has been evident in his dismissals in the ongoing England series. While lauding Virat Kohli’s credentials over the years and terming him as the greatest cricketer in the modern-era of cricket, Harbhajan Singh noted how the core issue lies in the way Kohli has been placing his foot....
Senior players like Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja have been rested for the assignment, which will be Rahul Dravid’s first as head coach of the senior men’s team. Along expected lines, Rohit Sharma has been named the T20I captain, with KL Rahul serving as his deputy. India’s T20I squad for the New Zealand series: Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Venkatesh Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj...
Gaikwad, who has only got a chance in the five-match series only because KL Rahul’s injury, scored 23 (15) and one off four balls in Delhi and Cuttack. India lost both games, prompting calls for his snubbing. But top-scoring in Vizag and building a 97-run opening partnership with Ishan Kishan (54 off 35), which laid the foundation for a much-needed 48-run win, helped in shutting down some of the criticism....
In a video shared by Sehwag on his social media accounts, he pointed out how Sharma has made a thumping comeback after missing the entire South Africa tour because of his hamstring injury. Sehwag said: India’s white-ball captain showcased stunning form in the encounter, scoring 50 crucial runs at the top from just 51 deliveries. His knock was instrumental in the hosts clinching the contest by six wickets. Sehwag added that many expected Virat Kohli to perform with the bat, as he is due for a big knock for a while now....
