Led by pharmacologist Professor Arduino Mangoni, the article highlights that while identifying and treating high blood pressure in the community is of vital importance, it's likely that in-hospital elevations in blood pressure are relatively common and might not reflect poorly controlled blood pressure before admission. "The measurement of blood pressure in hospital patients significantly differs from the best practice recommended for primary care and outpatients," says Professor Mangoni,...

Since former President Donald Trump launched his campaign in 2016, the FBI has been involved in a series of shady, politicized acts that seem to benefit the Democratic Party.

The same lenient sentences were handed to hundreds of...

It is common for gun control zealots to bloviate about how the United States is such a violent country, and others such as Canada’s dictator in chief Justin Trudeau using the crime rate in the United States as justification to seize firearms from his citizenry.
