This damage, or arteriopathy, appears to cause the arteries to stretch, narrow or kink in such a way that during high-intensity exercise the athlete experiences decreased blood flow due to the constriction or obstruction of the artery in the affected leg. This lack of blood flow, or ischemia, causes pain, burning, weakness, and powerlessness during exercise.

MORE: More athletes mired in scandal Police were called to the apartment of a woman on Wednesday after neighbors overheard an argument. Upon entering the residence, police said they saw Nunn in the living room. At first both the victim and Nunn indicated nothing happened, but later the woman called police back to her apartment....

“He’s graduating and he was talking about playing closer to home,” Cubit said of the McKeesport, Pa., native. “That’s what he’s going to do. He’s a good kid, and I respect his feelings about what he wants to do. I wish him all the luck.” MORE: 20 impact players returning in 2016 | College football’s craziest fans As a graduate transfer, Neal will be eligible to play in 2016 with the stipulation that he is prohibited from transferring to a school the Illini play in 2016, according to Scout....

Eating healthy reduces vulnerability to respiratory illness because many micronutrients work to support proper immune function. Phytochemicals from colorful vegetables, fruits, and other plant foods also have anti-microbial and immune-boosting effects. Maintaining Zinc Levels as We Age Diminished immune function increases the susceptibility to pneumonia and influenza, in addition to heightening the risk for developing autoimmune diseases and cancers. Maintaining an adequate zinc status can limit the decline in immune function that often occurs with age....

The immune response of mild COVID-19 patients may be transient—like that gained when we catch common colds, scientists have said a paper submitted to the pre-print server medRxiv. Pre-print means the study has not been through the rigorous peer review process required to publish in scientific journals. Scientists release papers in this way this to spark debate on a topic, and it is particularly useful during fast-moving situation like a pandemic....

The week began with the 15th annual Bound for Glory on Sunday from the sold-out Odeum Expo Center. The talent showed the wrestling world that while AEW and WWE are what everyone is talking about, Impact isn’t going anywhere. The show was solid from top to bottom, highlighted by Brian Cage retaining the heavyweight title over Sami Callihan in the main event. The match of the night was Ace Austin becoming the X-Division champion in defeating Tessa Blanchard, Jake Crist, Ace Romero and Daga....

Steve Bannon criticised the way the White House was responding to the impeachment crisis, sparked by claims that Trump had pressured his Ukrainian counterpart to get dirt on Democratic 2020 contender Joe Biden and his son Hunter. “This is serious. As sure as the turning of the earth, he is going to be impeached by Pelosi in the next six weeks. Nancy Pelosi is very focused,” Bannon told the New York Post, referring to the Democrat House Speaker....

Imuran works by decreasing the immune system’s ability to cause inflammation. This can be important when given for a kidney transplant, so the immune system can’t attack the new kidney and prevent it from working. In RA, Imuran prevents the immune system from being able to cause inflammation to the joints and can improve symptoms of RA. What Is Imuran Used For? Imuran is used for people who have received a kidney transplant....

I know who I turned to. The same guy I always look to. Good ol’ Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. The best friend Democrats have ever had. And he didn’t disappoint. Republicans were doing everything to run away from the Dobbs decision at the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade, as polls showed it was dragging them down. As candidate after candidate whitewashed their websites, to look more moderate on abortion, it looked as if they might blunt the impact of that decision....

A pair of 16-feet-high, 190-feet-long sections of the famed fence sold during an online auction that concluded Monday. One went for $2,025 and the other for $1,000. Together, the items drew 190 bids. When the Minnesota Twins played at the Metrodome from 1982-2009, left-handed hitters took aim at the dark blue wall that stood only 327 feet from home plate. To make up for the short distance, the fence was extended for a total height of 23 feet....

“Bottom line is our defense plays good enough, our offense struggles to move the ball when we don’t do our job, and that’s been the thing from the f—— beginning of the season,” Kelce said (via CSNPhilly.com).

Newsweek has not verified the identity of the whistleblower. In the interview, Trump mainly questioned “intent and motivation,” rather than the whistleblower’s identity, a position that echoed many on the right who pointed to a series of 2017 tweets by the alleged whistleblower’s lawyer that proclaimed “a coup has started,” as Fox News reported. “That person’s identity is known. It’s all over the internet,” the White House aide continued, repeating a point her brother, Donald Trump Jr....

Had Yandle decided south Florida wasn’t to his liking, the Panthers would have lose next to nothing in a trade that sent draft picks to the Rangers. Now that he has, the price for Yandle will stand at a sixth-round pick on Saturday and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2017.

There are only two countries outside the United States where President Trump was held in high esteem by the majority of the population—the Philippines, and Israel. Israelis, especially those on the right-wing of the political spectrum, supported Trump fully. An argument could be made that many of Trump’s actions regarding Israel might have negative long-term consequences, but the simple truth is that Israelis felt Trump truly loved Israel, and as one Israeli said to me—“If you love me, I will love you back....

In a post shared on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable subforum under the username BrocoliTrees, the child’s parent said: “Even if the wedding invite came first, knowing the date of your grandchild’s birthday, would you check to see what would be happening for their birthday?” The poster asked, “What if you would also be moving to another part of the country from said grandchild the following week?” In a later post, the user said the child is “close to these grandparents,” who are the original poster’s in-laws....

In April 2017, David Sillars went canoeing with his girlfriend’s 8-year-old son, Thomas Rancourt. According to prosecutors, Sillars, 37, had spent the day drinking and smoking pot-laced cigarettes. He wanted to retrieve a blue barrel he spied caught on a yellow barrier, but the river was swollen and icy with strong currents. Friends told Sillars not to go, but he and Rancourt left anyway. Once they got out on the river, the canoe overturned and dumped the two into the frigid water....

Nebraska just fired coach Bo Pelini after seven consecutive seasons of at least nine wins. If you’re not trending toward the top four in the nation, you’re treading water. Even something as big as the Iron Bowl has now taken a back seat to the playoff race. Don’t believe it? Listen to this: “Beating (Auburn) was just another game,” Alabama defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson said. “We’ve got bigger games to play....

Having spent the past decade reporting around the world, from over 150 countries, I believe the most significant change was a reassertion of values. People voted, bought and protested not merely on the basis of self-interest, but through an assertion of more deeply held fundamental beliefs. You cannot understand the Arab Spring, revolution in Ukraine, rolling protests in France, the election of Donald Trump, the Brexit referendum, Xi Jinping’s China or Narendra Modi’s India without an appreciation of values....

But the circumstances Thursday night weren’t regular. It was Crawford’s first game since Dec. 23 of last year in New Jersey after missing almost 10 months with a severe concussion. Over that time, speculation about Crawford’s status intensified with every game he missed, and that occurred while the Blackhawks cratered to the bottom of the Central Division. When his name was announced as a starter, the capacity crowd roared. And the times he touched the puck - even on routine saves - were met with loud cheers....
