» Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent an increasingly significant health concern, especially among individuals under the age of 60. Although CVDs have traditionally been prevalent in older populations due to age-related degeneration, modern lifestyle factors are contributing to earlier onset. Notable risk factors include high-fat diets, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption, all of which promote the development of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and hypertension at younger ages. Additionally, congenital abnormalities and post-infectious complications play roles in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders.

Android is now the new Apple

» Some may be wondering why have I used an Android phone up to now compared to, say, Apple iPhone? In the beginning, it was for the following four reasons -- a headphone jack, a removable battery, the ability to insert an SD card for storage and the ability to load a program into the computer. That last part may sound a little strange but a 12GB device with 1TB of storage and a graphics unit built in is a computer now. The "program" loading here means you can put your own operating system on the device and install applications, bypassing the Play Store. So where are we now? No headphone jack, no SSD support, no removable battery and based on a recent announcement, no ability to "side-load" programs any more. In other words, Google phones have now or will soon be turned into iPhones.
