By inviting both Iran and Saudi Arabia, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi could turn the page on a conflict that has been inflamed by the ongoing war in Yemen, where the two powers support dueling factions, which ultimately led them to sever ties in 2016. Tensions reached new heights in 2019, when Saudi Arabia accused Iran of a 2019 assault on Saudi oil plants that briefly knocked out half of the country’s oil production....

According to research from 1999 to 2018, the rates of iron deficiency anemia and mortality (death) associated with the condition have continued to rise in the United States. This article discusses how common iron deficiency anemia is, who is the most affected, and the associated mortality rates. Iron Deficiency Anemia Overview Iron deficiency anemia is a blood disorder that develops when a person’s blood doesn’t have enough red blood cells....

It’s a subtype of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). About one-third of people with IBS have the IBS-C type. IBS-C is a functional gastrointestinal disorder. These are gastrointestinal (GI) disorders that produce symptoms but have no identifiable cause despite standard diagnostic tests. These disorders can cause significant distress. Diet changes, fiber supplements, medication, and behavior changes may reduce the symptoms of IBS with constipation. Some people also try the low-FODMAP diet to know which foods to avoid for symptom relief....

Clare Crawley’s wild story is about to continue, and we can only hope Nevada counts their votes either before or after 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET so our national Bachelorette watch time isn’t interrupted. On Thursday night, Bachelorette Crawley is expected to “blow up” the reality dating show, as many teasers (many, many teasers) have implied. The leading lady will sit down with host Chris Harrison, ABC’s production team and her clear frontrunner Dale Moss as, apparently, they’ll all decide she should leave the show with Moss....

Research About How Alzheimer’s Disease Spreads While Alzheimer’s disease is not spread through contact with others, some research with mice seems to indicate that it could have some type of an infectious component, possibly related to prions (proteins that brain cells need to function). In prion diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, prion proteins begin to fold abnormally and then infect other healthy prions they encounter within the body, causing cells to die in the brain and dementia to develop....

This trend of archaeology corroborating Biblical accounts continued so consistently that in 1959 Rabbi Dr. Nelson Glueck declared “no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference.” Since then, the evidence has kept coming. For example, in 1961 an inscription was found bearing the name “Pilate,” the earliest known reference to this figure outside of the New Testament. In 1968, a first-century home in Capernaum was identified as that of the apostle Peter....

Bush might be able to redeem himself with a personal tribute to Reagan on his 80th birthday next month. But NEWSWEEK was told that rather than attending himself, Bush plans to send Dan Quayle to the birthday bash Reagan’s chums are throwing for him in Los Angeles. Quayle is a conservative favorite, but many on the right think Bush should make the trip himself. In other Reagan news, sources close to the ex-president say that at the behest of his wife, Nancy, he is stepping up his schedule of interviews to plug his autobiography - including a guest spot on Larry King’s TV show this week....

The Celtics’ guard missed Game 1 with a right midfoot sprain. He returned in Games 2 and 3, but he was then sidelined for Game 4 with a sprained right ankle. While Smart played in the last three games of the series, what is his status for Game 1 of the Finals? Here’s the latest news on Smart’s condition.

Broken heart syndrome, also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo syndrome, happens when part of your heart temporarily enlarges and doesn’t pump well, while the rest of your heart functions normally or with even more forceful contractions, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). Symptoms are similar to a heart attack, but it’s sparked by stress. While the AHA says broken heart syndrome is usually treatable, it can be fatal....

Under most laws, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are considered a disability. This ensures that there are rights and protections under the law to prevent those with diabetes from being discriminated against. This can apply in the workplace, at school, in public places, and in interactions with law enforcement. Diabetes as a Disability In the United States, diabetes is considered a disability under federal law. This is in acknowledgment of the fact that diabetes limits the function of the endocrine system at a substantial level....

Current NFL stars better be wary before they agree to become a guest of Peyton and Eli Manning on their alternative “Monday Night Football” broadcast on ESPN2 for as long as it lasts. There were 10 regular-season “MNFs” with the Mannings during the 2021 regular season. Every active NFL player — seven in all over six games — who appeared to talk football and other things with them has bad luck with a loss in the upcoming week....

“Milk seems to be a marker for a better diet. Over and over again, children who are regular milk consumers have overall better diets,” says Johnson. Nonmilk drinkers “chose high-sugar beverages that are devoid of nutrients, like soft drinks.” Unfortunately, some well-meaning schools, worried about obesity, have restricted flavored milk, she says. Her research shows that flavored milk drinkers had no higher overall sugar intake than nonmilk drinkers. Many experts think the flavored milks help prevent kids from turning to sodas....

As the landmark trial known as Hamilton v. Accu-Tek got underway in a Brooklyn courtroom this month, no one would say whether the mysterious Robert Hass would actually testify in person. What is clear is that he has ricocheted on the gun industry. In a sworn affidavit and at a contentious deposition, Hass claimed under oath that he and other gun executives didn’t lift a finger to stem the underground flow of guns into American cities, even though they could have....

And it got worse from there. After cutting the deficit to 11, the Shockers gradually stumbled and fell back into a 19-point hole with 11:48 remaining. “About 95 percent of the teams in college basketball would have quit right then,” point guard Fred VanVleet said KNSS radio. “At that point we huddled together and said, ‘If we’re going to go out, we’re going to go out our way.’ “ So, yes, the Shockers were conscious of being undefeated....

Philadelphia was forced to play without Joel Embiid in its last three games after the All-Star center came down with a non-COVID illness. The Sixers also recently received some bad news regarding James Harden’s status. The 2017-18 MVP will miss extended time after suffering a tendon strain in his right foot. Phoenix will also be missing a key contributor, as starting forward Cameron Johnson is set to undergo right knee surgery after tearing his meniscus....

The Red Devils may be five points off leader Manchester City after winning four, drawing one and losing two so far, but the stats suggest that they may soon pick up some steam. Mourinho, who has collected three fewer points than his predecessor Louis van Gaal had at the same stage last season, will draw hope from the fact that United has gone on to win the league title three times after collecting 13 points from its first seven games – in 1992-93, 1996-97 and 2010-11....
