At stake, was history, as is usually the case when Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal play a Slam final. A win for Djokovic would bring him within 2 titles of Nadal, and in 3rd place overall, overtaking the legendary Pete Sampras. It would also make him the outright title leader at the Australian Open, at 7 titles. A win for Nadal would take him to 18 Slams, 2 short of Federer....

Djokovic employed Agassi as coach this month in an attempt to get back to the peak of his powers and the American great sat placidly in the Serbian’s box to see him win 6-3 6-4 6-2 on Court Philippe Chatrier. The second seed has failed to add to his tally of 12 major titles since completing a career Grand Slam at Roland Garros last year and still has plenty of room for improvement on the evidence of his display on day two....

UTC, also known as RenRX, agreed not to be included in any federal health care program for 25 years. Between 2013 and 2017, UTC allegedly paid physicians to order pharmacogenetic testing, which studies how an individual is affected by drugs. The National Institute of Health says the aim of pharmacogenetics is “to develop effective, safe medications and doses that will be tailored to a person’s genetic makeup.” In return, patients were allegedly recruited to take part in genetic testing for the Diagnosing Adverse Drug Reactions Registry (DART)....

Many make the mistake of using condoms past their expiration date, but doing so may mean that you are not getting the protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy that you expect. Why do Condoms Expire? Most health and medical products have an expiration date, and condoms are no exception. The material that condoms are made from is what dictates expiration dates, as some are more resilient to the effects of time than others....

Reasons for this can vary, but the fact that both the first Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 were remastered is a testament to these games’ popularity. However, one game from that era is an outlier: Call of Duty: World at War. In discussions surrounded around the series, this particular installment is not mentioned as often as its contemporaries. This can make its popularity among modern Call of Duty fans more ambiguous than it needs to be, especially when it comes to how big the current online player base is, if there is still such a thing....

However, while you may think you know Harvard and Yale, some other college campuses may be harder to recognise — especially when they’re doubling for other universities. Both famous and lesser known college campuses from across the United States have popped up on screen over the years - can you recognise these 15? Agnes Scott College This private women’s liberal arts college in Decatur, Georgia, has been around for over 130 years, and the campus is designated as a historical district....

Introduced in Office 2007, they are like DOCX files in that they can also store formatted text, images, shapes, charts, etc., but they’re different because they can execute macros to automate tasks in Word. This format uses XML and ZIP to compress data down to a smaller size, similar to Microsoft’s other XML formats like DOCX and XLSX. How to Open a DOCM File Microsoft Word (version 2007 and above) is the primary software program used to open DOCM files, as well as edit them....

Nikos Razis, a doctor in the Greek capital of Athens, reportedly shared the invitation on Facebook in a post shared with an image of him wearing a mask and a face shield, according to The Guardian. “This is an official invitation to mask- and COVID-19 deniers to accompany me for nine whole hours during the emergency duty of the hospital the day after tomorrow. But without a mask and a signed statement....

Lance VanGundy, who is the emergency medical director at UnityPoint Health in Marshalltown, described in a video posted to his Facebook page his concerns at the misinformation out there about the jabs. “We are drowning in people who are dying with this illness, and I have yet to admit a single person because of a vaccine-related incident,” he said. “I don’t want to be political, I just want everybody to really know, in over 20 years of doing this, I’ve never been this busy or been this stressed or seen this many sick people....

After the events of Loki season one and Spider-Man: No Way Home, the next MCU film will follow Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange through the alternate realities of the multiverse as he is forced to make new allies in order to defeat new threats that seek to wreak havoc on several universes. The long-awaited sequel comes six years after its predecessors’ release, making it the longest gap for an MCU character’s sequel...

With so much happening in the MCU during this gap like the conclusion of the Infinity Saga to the introduction of the multiverse in phase 4, it feels like the appropriate time to discuss the highly anticipated sequel that is shaping up to be one of the MCU’s most expansive and mind-bending films to date. Here’s what we know so far about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness....

While it’s only a rumor, this new Doctor Strange spinoff series will reportedly offer a look at a learning institution to help new magic users hone their skills. Unlike the more intensive training Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange himself took on, this appears to be a bit more official and focused on a legitimate academic setting. It looks like anybody who just so happens to be searching for a story about a magical school without problematic origins may now have a beacon of hope to focus on....

According to a Verywell survey, one in three Black Americans have experienced racism while navigating the U.S. healthcare system. Racism damages the Black health experience by influencing the entire health journey. The survey, consisting of 1,000 White respondents and 1,000 Black respondents, asked about how their healthcare experience drives their decisions to switch providers or make health decisions. To get at the heart of why racism persists in health care and what can be done to alleviate its harms, Verywell gathered a panel of four members of its Medical Expert Board representing different medical specialties....

Starting left fielder Carl Crawford and starting pitcher Dan Haren are not expected to travel for the Dodgers, manager Don Mattingly said Saturday. Diamondbacks' manager Kirk Gibson also announced which starting pitchers wouldn't travel. Wade Miley, Brandon McCarthy and Bronson Arroyo will not make the trip, according to Fox Sports Arizona. Gibson does plan on bringing three catchers: Miguel Montero, Henry Blanco and Tuffy Gosewich. Dodgers outfielder Crawford is expecting a child "any day now" with fiancé Evelyn Lozado....

Puig, who is hitting .265 with 11 home runs, was removed from Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Angels during a fifth-inning at-bat. Earlier, Puig had homered for the second consecutive game. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Puig might not return until August. “It’s going to be a few weeks,” Roberts said. “With the time we have left in the season, we have to be very careful. Otherwise it can come back to bite you at an important time....

In a word, yes. But how? The answer depends on several factors, but two of the more researched factors include the amount of alcohol consumed and whether someone is an APOE ε4 gene carrier. Excessive Amounts of Alcohol Multiple research and observational studies have demonstrated that people who drink high amounts of alcohol are at an increased risk of developing dementia. Alcohol-related brain damage may account for approximately 10% of all dementia cases....

The story begins with four young children getting ready for Halloween. They dress up as a witch, a mummy, a skeleton, and a monster. They meet up at their usual spot, but their fifth friend Pipkin isn’t there. When they go to his house, they see him being lifted into an ambulance. The four friends chase after the ambulance, cutting through a creepy backroad to reach him quickly. That’s when they see Pip running away....

When O’Shannessy teamed up with Djokovic as his chief strategist in 2017, there were doubts over the Serbian star and whether he was a spent force on the ATP Tour due to injuries and form. Djokovic drifted to 22nd in the world rankings during the 2018 season after ending the previous year without a slam crown – Australian Open (second round), French Open (quarter-finals), Wimbledon (quarter-finals) and US Open (absent due to injury)....
