Cardiovascular and Renal Damage in Primary Aldosteronism: Outcomes After Treatment | American Journal of Hypertension | Oxford Academic: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one of the common forms of curable hypertension. Recent views have suggested that PA is far from being relatively benign, as it was previously thought, but it is associated with a variety of cardiovascular and renal sequelae that reflect the capability of inappropriately elevated aldosterone to induce tissue damage over that induced by hypertension itself.

Microsoft’s new Wireless Display app lets you cast your Windows or Android screen to an Xbox One

Microsoft’s new Wireless Display app lets you cast your Windows or Android screen to an Xbox One, and it works with PC games OnMSFT.com: "One the blue cast screen is loaded, you can connect to it just like you would any other Miracast display, by going into the display menu (via the Win P command) and select XBOXONE. If you intend to control the PC from the Xbox such as for playing games, make sure to tick the box to enable keyboard and mouse input from the Xbox."

"If all goes well, you should be able to easily switch between mouse and gamepad inputs by simultaneously hitting the view and menu icons on the gamepad. From our end, we were able to get mouse input to work just fine on the Surface Go, but had trouble getting the gamepad to work in a game of Minecraft. On the other hand, Asphalt 9 worked just fine, so it’s hard to understand what the limitations are for the controller support. However, it doesn’t seem to work on Android devices at all as of the time of this writing."

"From the PC side, you can also switch between various screen latency modes, Gaming, Working, and Watching videos from the connection bar at the top of the screen. Despite the latency option, though, watching protected content such as that on Netflix is a no go."

The Peelian Principles | The Crime Prevention Website

The Peelian Principles | The Crime Prevention Website:



  1. The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder
  2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions
  3. Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public
  4. The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force
  5. Police seek and preserve public favour not by pandering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law
  6. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient
  7. Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence
  8. Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary
  9. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it

Eyelashes that Grow Inward: Trichiasis Causes, Treatment and More

Eyelashes that Grow Inward: Trichiasis Causes, Treatment and More: "Eyelashes that brush up against your cornea -- the clear, front part of your eye -- for a long time could cause eye irritation or a more serious condition on the surface of your eye. That can lead to infection and scarring. It could even affect your eyesight.

Treatment
There are many ways to treat trichiasis.

Your doctor may use little forceps to pluck out the pesky lashes. This is the most common way to treat it. He or she will numb your eyeball with drops and pull the lash out of its follicle. It usually comes out easily and doesn’t hurt.

You may need artificial teardrops for a couple of days. Your lashes will grow back in 3 to 5 months, but there’s still a chance they’ll come in the wrong way."
