Anemia refers to a deficiency in red blood cells or of hemoglobin in the blood. Anemia can also refer to an insufficient number of healthy red blood cells in circulation. The most common form of anemia is usually relatively benign. Sometimes, however, anemia can be the first indicator of cancer, or some other serious illness.

Ana Cardenas, of El Paso, Texas, said she woke at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday after hearing a dripping noise which she thought was rain. Cardenas then saw blood which was dripping from her ceiling had splattered into the walls of her apartment, face, body and bed after being propelled by her ceiling fan. “It grossed me out, I was in shock, I thought this isn’t real this is a dream, wake up,” Cardenas told KTSM....

Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. It is determined by the electrical system of the heart. This article discusses the relationship between your heart rate and blood pressure, factors that can affect each of them, and when to seek help for abnormal readings.

Monitoring Blood Pressure Your blood pressure is measured using a device called a sphygmomanometer, which historically evaluated circulating blood pressure based on the height of a column of mercury in a thermometer-like tube. For this reason, blood pressure is still described in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), even though current monitors are either digital or do not contain mercury. Blood pressure readings are described with an upper and lower value:...

The change came after 49 minutes, with Gabriel Paulista coming on to replace the France international defender. Benzema passes Henry’s goal record And the enforced change did not seem to help matters for the Gunners, with Bayern scoring two without reply inside the 10 minutes after the centre-back was forced off. The north Londoners have been knocked out at the last 16 stage by the German giants in two of the last four seasons and already appear to be on their way out once again....

The 25-year-old finished top of the Bundesliga assists chart with 19 in 2016-17 and also scored eight goals to help the club to a stunning second-place finish behind champions Bayern Munich. Ozil not ruling out Schalke return Forsberg’s form has led to speculation linking him with a number of clubs, including Liverpool, AC Milan and, most recently, Bayern and Arsenal. The Sweden midfielder’s agent recently said it is “time to test himself at one of the big clubs”, prompting further talk of a move, but Rangnick is adamant the team will not allow one of their best players to leave....

On the surface, you wouldn’t have thought they faced a mid-game crisis that threatened all that joy and optimism, immediate and long term. They earned the happy face, and it’s pretty much their job to put on a brave one. But losing cornerback Jimmy Smith for the rest of the season, and knowing the highly ranked defense and the lowly ranked offense have to compensate for him, is daunting no matter what the final score said....

After going down on strikes against CC Sabathia in the first inning, Donaldson walked back to the Blue Jays dugout and threw his bat in frustration. Manager John Gibbons, obviously displeased with the reigning AL MVP’s display, stepped to the slugger to likely tell him to grow up.

GM Alex Anthopoulos last week rejected a contract extension offer to remain with the team, which is in the midst of a front-office overhaul after Shapiro, a former Indians general manager, was added to the front office in August.

Nardi, a former Villanova guard from 2003-07, was telling the team’s go-to shot maker to pass up those looks. Why would Gillespie do that? It is part of the Wildcats’ culture. MORE: Villanova survives slugfest vs....

There are few moments quite so fine in this film, but for anyone curious about bluegrass, this is a fine place to start. Intercutting performance footage with interviews. Liebling spotlights the music’s principal figures, including Mac Wiseman, Ralph Stanley and Jimmy Martin. She slights no one, but after a while-you wish she hadn’t fretted about fairness, because when she obeys her instincts and points the camera at her heart’s darling-82-year-old Bill Monroe-the movie takes wing....

As general manager Dave Gettleman works toward a new contract for OBJ with Giants owner John Mara watching closely, my advice to the team is simple: Proceed with caution. Be sure the deal includes protections for New York so Beckham has to be productive on the field and trouble-free off the field in order to max out the potential dollars.

It’s these simple play-on words that helped propel the third-generation superstar from NXT up to the WWE earlier this year.

The Patriots come into the Minneapolis showdown as defending champions having beaten the Atlanta Falcons last year. Their recent dominance has turned some fans off, leaving neutrals cheering for the opposition this weekend. Bayern Munich defender Boateng nonetheless says the Patriots deserve immense credit for their consistency. “It’s very interesting,” the World Cup winner tells Goal. “Two very strong teams and I think a lot of fans don’t want the Patriots to win it again!...

The expansion MLS side went into CenturyLink Field and knocked off the two-time defending Western Conference champion Seattle Sounders, 1-0, to become the first team since those very same Sounders in 2009 to kick off an expansion season with a shutout victory, and first since the 2011 Vancouver Whitecaps to win their MLS debut.
