High blood pressure is more dangerous for WOMEN than MEN:

                                  High blood pressure may be more dangerous in women than in men, new research suggests.

Doctors may need to treat high blood pressure in women earlier and more aggressively than they do in men, according to scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre, in the U.S.

In a new study, published in Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease, the researchers found significant differences in the mechanisms that cause high blood pressure in women when compared to men.

‘The medical community thought that high blood pressure was the same for both sexes and treatment was based on that premise,’ said Carlos Ferrario, professor of surgery at Wake Forest Baptist and lead author of the study.

Saudi Twitter user is jailed for three months and sentenced to 80 lashes.

                                                    A Saudi court has sentenced a man convicted of defaming a Kuwaiti singer by accusing her on Twitter of adultery to three months in jail and 80 lashes. 

The Saudi national, apparently a fan of a rival pop star, was sentenced for accusing Kuwaiti singer Shams of adultery without providing proof, the Saudi Sabq news website cited the verdict as saying.

The ruling is based on Islamic sharia law which stipulates flogging for those who accuse others of having extra-marital sex without giving proof.
