Rich in omega-3 fatty acids (a form of polyunsaturated fat considered essential for good health), fish oil is typically sourced from cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, and anchovies. Besides increasing your intake of omega-3-rich fish, you can find fish oil in dietary supplement form. High blood pressure is closely associated with a dysfunction in the endothelium, the layer of cells lining your blood vessels. The endothelium is involved in a number of physiological processes affecting cardiovascular health, like the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels and blood clotting....
Gabapentin is one such drug. It’s an anti-seizure drug sometimes used to prevent migraines, though there is conflicting scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in this regard. In the United States, gabapentin is sold in generic form and under the brand names Neurontin, Gralise, Horizant, and Neuraptine. How It Works The precise mechanism of gabapentin’s action is not well known. Even though this drug has a similar structure to a brain neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), it has no effect on its receptors....
This conflict around the importance of knowing where your hormone levels are during the menopausal transition can be very confusing and frustrating, especially when you are feeling miserable. A big industry has grown around helping women manage the often very unpleasant symptoms of the menopausal transition, and, unfortunately, a lot of the marketing can be misleading. It is important to understand that the idea of measuring your hormone levels to diagnose and manage the menopausal transition is not well supported by medical evidence....
As it happens, the Tribune has a distinguished history in the contest department, and nobody knows it better than the architects. To them the newspaper’s name is synonymous with its glamorous 1922 competition to design “the most beautiful and distinctive office building in the world.” The winning entry evolved into Chicago’s landmark Tribune Tower; the far more influential losers inspired a whole generation of skyscrapers, among them the Empire State Building....
On Monday, Lake’s opponent, Governor Katie Hobbs, was sworn in as the state’s fifth female governor, and the first Democrat elected in more than 15 years, effectively ending Lake’s efforts to become the next governor of Arizona. Despite losing by more than 17,000 votes, Lake refused to concede the election and launched a legal fight to contest the results. Even after a Maricopa County judge ruled against her lawsuit, Lake filed to appeal in hopes of still being declared the winner of the election....
Around the league, there is obvious respect for the talent that Cousins has. There is also no doubt that he’s been a pain in the ankle for pretty much his entire seven-year career in Sacramento. But what worries other team executives and coaches — and this could be important should the Kings decide the time is ripe to trade Cousins, who has two years left on his contract, in the coming months — is Cousins’ approach to Xs and Os more than his surliness with coaches and referees....
At least two of the following conditions are necessary to make a diagnosis of PCOS: Absent or chronically irregular periods Signs of high male hormone levels: oily skin and hair, acne that lasts into adulthood, and hirsutism (abnormal hair growth on the face, chest, and abdomen) An ultrasound showing multiple small cysts on the ovaries (polycystic ovaries) PCOS and Related Health Challenges In addition to abnormal menstrual cycles, acne, and hirsutism, women with PCOS have an increased risk of elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, which can lead to heart disease and stroke....
That playoff series, won by the Warriors in six games, was Stephen Curry’s coming-out party. The superstar shooter averaged 24.6 points per game during the series, including a Game 4 performance in which he scored 31 points, 22 of them coming in a seven-minute stretch in the third quarter. No play better illustrated Curry’s wild gunslinger mentality than a 3-pointer from the corner in which he didn’t even watch the ball go into the basket....
So he followed standard operating procedure for investors who think they’ve been ripped off – he brought an arbitration claim against the broker. But to his surprise, Merrill Lynch counterattacked, filing a lawsuit claiming that his time to act had run out. A judge agreed; the rules say DeChaine should have complained within six years of making his investment. Too late. DeChaine, now 58, disabled and living in Maine, spends his days writing to Congress and waiting for a last-chance appeal....
If only it were so simple. In fact, being too thin or too fat is the result of a complex set of social and personal factors that scientists are only beginning to understand. Helping people become healthier requires an equally complex response involving extensive nutrition and fitness education, more access to mental health facilities for people with eating disorders and certainly a more tolerant standard of beauty in the mass media....
“Divisive” is probably the last thing Britain needs these days. Truss’ predecessor, Boris Johnson, was done in by a hasty coup within the ranks of his governing Conservative Party over a COVID-era cocktail party, for which he was fined, and a series of relatively minor scandals that further shook confidence in his leadership. In the months since Johnson’s ouster, Britain has suffered its highest crime rate in 20 years, its highest inflation rate in 40 years, and its heaviest income tax burden in 70 years....
Stewart has struggled on the track and off since being involved in the tragic accident that killed 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. last year.

Drug-Induced Cognitive Impairment According to one study, cognitive impairment was present in 22% of those taking five or fewer medications, while that rate increased to 33% in people who took more than five medications and 54% in those taking 10 or more medications. American Family Physician reports the risk of developing delirium by taking multiple medicines. Symptoms of mild cognitive impairment or delirium that develop when a person is taking multiple medications should always be thoroughly investigated....
Across the U.S., 5.9 million COVID-19 doses have been administered with millions more expected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Depending on the type of vaccine you were given—Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna—a level of immunity is not achieved until 7 to 14 days later after the first dose, with full immunity only achieved after two doses. However, despite the promising numbers of the vaccines’ 95% effectiveness, there are still aspects of immunity and safety experts have yet to figure out....
Netflix’s Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, dives into the most polarizing story: that of Elisa Lam. If you’re a true-crime junkie, you may be tempted to check out the hotel yourself. Cecil Hotel/Stay on Main—two hotels housed in the same building, with common elevators—are located on Los Angeles’ impoverished skid row, which Crime Scene notes is possibly a reason for tourists being harassed during their stays at the Cecil—something that could have happened to Lam, though there’s no proof of her interacting with anyone....

If you are having your testosterone level checked with a home test or at a laboratory as ordered by your doctor, your results might not be clear-cut....
By now everyone knows the cardinal rules for beautiful skin. Keep it clean, don’t smoke and stay out of the sun. But millions of women in their 40s and 50s aren’t satisfied with the results of those simple steps. They’re exploring a multiplying array of chemicals and technologies in an attempt to smooth wrinkles and restore glow to their faces. Do these scalpel-free treatments work? Here’s the bottom line that beauty magazines never quite get around to telling you: most improvements are modest and temporary....
