Trump diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency’: Know about the condition

US President Donald Trump was recently diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency’ following a medical check-up after noticing “mild swelling” in his lower legs. During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the US President was diagnosed with a vein condition which is "common in individuals over the age of 70”. Reading a letter from Trump’s doctor, she further revealed that there was no evidence of more serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, and stressed that the President remains in “excellent health”. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition in which the veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart because of damaged valves. “Over time, this causes blood to pool in the legs. It’s more commo...

Gavin Rossdale on the new Bush album, cooking, and staying away from social media – National

This past Friday, July 18, Gavin Rossdale and Bush released the group’s 10th album, I Beat Loneliness. I connected with Gavin at his home in Los Angeles.Alan Cross: The new Bush album is entitled I Beat Loneliness. You look at that on the surface, and it seems like the most autobiographical title of all time, is it?Gavin Rossdale: Yeah, I think so. I forced myself to ask what was important to me. It led me to re-evaluate myself, what I thought would be satisfying to investigate. I just went on deep dives, every song is a different experiment, sonically, musically. I still keep myself 25 per cent madly ignorant of music. I just hear things differently because I’m just feral like that. But a little bit of spill gives it the source, gives it the blood.So yeah, this record is very autobiograph...

I’m Not Multitasking During At-Home Workouts Anymore (and You Shouldn’t Either)

I used to be a big believer in distracting myself while I was working out, especially when doing cardio, which can last a long time and feel tedious. Even though I've recommended such an approach a few times, I've changed my viewpoint after looking a little bit at my output and refining my goals. I'm not above admitting the old way wasn't working or that I was wrong. Here's why I'm no longer trying to distract myself during cardio—and why you should consider stopping, too. Why I'm done with exercise distractionsMultitasking does not work. It really doesn't: Any time you're trying to do two things at once, you're splitting the energy and brainpower you can devote to both, essentially half-assing them at the same time instead of, forgive me, whole-assing them one at a time. It's tempting, of...

Dogs engage differently with content on TV based on their personalities: Study

Dogs may have `personalities` which guide their television viewing habits -- an anxious dog might respond more to cars or a doorbell sound, while an excitable one is more likely to follow on-screen objects, a study has found. Researchers from Auburn University, US, also found that pet dogs may perceive two-dimensional objects on the TV screen in a manner similar to those in the three-dimensional environment. The results, published in the journal Scientific Reports, help understand a pet dog`s internal, perceptual experience and may inform interventions taken towards their welfare. "In practice, engagement with television could provide dogs with an enriching, meaningful experience," the authors wrote. About 650 dog owners responded to surveys after observing their dog`s TV viewing habit...

Canada’s premiers set for 3-day meeting in Ontario with trade top of mind – National

Tariffs and trade are top of the agenda as the country’s premiers arrive in Ontario’s cottage country for a three-day meeting that comes at a pivotal time for both Canada-U.S. and domestic relations. The premiers’ summer gathering in Muskoka will also feature a Tuesday meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney, as trade talks with the United States are expected to intensify.Most of what the premiers are likely to discuss stems from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs: trade negotiations, the direct impact on industries such as steel and aluminum, the increased pushes to remove interprovincial trade barriers and speed up major infrastructure and natural resource projects to counteract the effects of tariffs, as well as Indigenous communities’ concerns about them. ...

Netflix Admitted to Using Generative AI in an Original Series, and I Think I Found It

The writing's been on the wall for a while. Unless you haven't seen a movie for the past decade or more, you know how important VFX has become to the creation of TV shows and movies. Those VFX come at a very high cost, and take a lot of man hours to produce. With generative AI video getting so good that most people have probably already been fooled by it at least once, it was only a matter of time before big studios started incorporating it into their workflows.Netflix, in fact, just bragged about doing so, months after a show came out and nobody spotted its use of AI. Yep, it seems that AI art is finally starting to become indistinguishable from human-made art, but that doesn't mean the issue is cut-and-dry.In an earnings call on Thursday, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos discussed how the tea...

Gene essential for vitamin D absorption may boost cancer treatment

Scientists have identified a key gene essential for vitamin D absorption, which may also boost treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The gene, called SDR42E1, is crucial for taking up vitamin D from the gut and further metabolising it -- a discovery with many possible applications in precision medicine, including cancer therapy. "Here we show that blocking or inhibiting SDR42E1 may selectively stop the growth of cancer cells,” said Dr Georges Nemer, Professor at the University of College of Health and Life Sciences at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar. Previous research showed that a specific mutation in the SDR42E1 gene on chromosome 16 is associated with vitamin D deficiency. The mutation caused the protein to be cut short, rendering it inactive. In the study, publishe...

Twin studies report global rise in GI cancers among middle-aged adults

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are rising at alarming rates worldwide in adults younger than 50 years, according to two studies. The first study, published in JAMA, showed that the surging cancer cases go beyond colorectal, and include gastric, oesophageal, and pancreatic. "Colorectal cancer is the most common early-onset GI cancer worldwide, accounting for more than half of the cases, but it is not the only GI cancer that is rising in younger adults. Unfortunately, pancreatic, gastric, and oesophageal cancers are also increasing in young people," said Dr. Kimmie Ng, from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in the US. "The rising incidence of early-onset GI cancers is alarming and underscores the need for enhanced prevention strategies and early detection methods," Ng added. The second study,...
