Marriage vows usually go something like this: “...to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part.” In addition to this specific vow — sporadically made before God and only kept 50% of the time — there’s the more fundamental understanding that marriage is a partnership in which both members look out for each other’s best interest. In simple terms, for example, a loving spouse would be expected to support their partner through emotional hardship, work-related stress, or...

Even though Africa largely failed to embrace the orthodox anti-covid strategies of lockdowns, masks, social distancing, and vaccines that world health authorities were successful in foisting on so many other parts of the globe, they also avoided most of the illness and harm experienced by those who did embrace the recommended strategies.

The Clintonville, Ohio, resident had been experiencing fatigue and shortness of breath, finally going to the emergency room with what he thought was pneumonia. Instead, he learned he'd had a "widowmaker" heart attack and a 100% blockage in a major artery. "I thought people who had heart attacks or heart disease were older people who drink and smoke a lot and weigh much more than I did," Conway said. "Recovery has been really tough, but I'm willing to do whatever my doctors tell me is needed to keep...

An ischemic stroke, also known as brain ischemia, is caused by blockages in arteries that carry blood to the brain. The safety concern requires more investigation and 'the totality of the data currently suggests that it is very unlikely that the signal … represents a true clinical risk', CDC wrote in...

Approximately 40% of stroke survivors experience aphasia, a difficulty with comprehending or producing spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular accident.
