There's a really nice new study using phone data from Americans who relocated from one city to another to look at the effect of walkable environments on physical activity. E.g., people move TO New York and walk more, they move FROM New York and walk less www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Countrywide natural experiment links built environment to physical activity - Nature

By analysing the smartphone data of 2,112,288 participants, in particular observing and comparing the activity of the same individual in two different environments, we find that increases in the walkability of environments result in increases in daily physical activity, providing evidence of the importance of the built environment on physical health.

You can have a thrombectomy, which is surgical or cath removal of the clot. Thrombolysis is administering medications to break up the clot. Sometimes a cath procedure is done to target the thrombolysis medication to the clot. Unclear exactly what he had based on the article I saw.

📱 Screens, sleep, and heart health

A new study found that more screen time = higher heart risk in kids and teens, especially for those who sleep less. A metabolic ‘signature’ of screen use was also found in blood.

➡️ abbreviated (10m) watch seems adequate for many AP locations (in expert hands)
➡️right free wall AP are trouble and need standard (30m) watch or maybe longer
