For the nearly half of Americans with hypertension, it's a potential death sentence; it increases the risk of stroke and chronic heart failure. While it's relatively easy to prevent or moderate if caught early - eat well, exercise more, consume less alcohol - it can be tough to treat. Although physicians have a bevy of potential hypertension medications to choose from, each is littered with pros and cons, making prescribing the most effective one a challenge. Now, a new artificial intelligence program may help doctors better match the right medicines to the right patients.

KHARTOUM — Fighting could be heard in Khartoum early on Monday as the United Nations warned of a humanitarian 'breaking point', with rival military forces accusing each other of fresh violations of a ceasefire as their devastating conflict enters a third week. Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands wounded since a long-simmering power struggle between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted into conflict on April 15. Violence has rocked the capital Khartoum and risks reawakening war in the vast Western region of Darfur scarred by a two-decade old conflict, despite numerous ceasefire pledges.

People walk on a zebra crossing in front of the buliding of Bank of Korea in Seoul, South Korea. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji/File photo BENGALURU  – The Bank of Korea (BOK) will keep its key policy rate unchanged at 3.5 percent on Thursday and for the rest of the year as inflation continued to ease, a Reuters poll of economists predicted, but rate cut forecasts were pushed back by a quarter to early 2024. While inflation in major economies remains elevated, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank to pursue policy tightening, it fell to a 21-month low in South Korea last month, bringing it closer to the central bank's 2-percent target.
