High Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Promising Predictor of Heart Health Concerns

A new study finds that getting your blood pressure taken while you’re lying down may give a more accurate reading that could show signs of heart disease risks. Even though the new study found something different, researchers agree that sitting up is still the best way to take blood pressure. Experts say that people should make it a priority to know their blood pressure numbers and act on them, because high blood pressure can make someone more likely to have dangerous heart events.

Researchers from Harvard University and the drug company Hoffmann-La Roche found that zosurabalpin, a new type of antibiotic, can kill A. baumannii in a study that came out on January 3 in the journal Nature.

Dr. Kenneth Bradley, global head of infectious disease discovery at Roche Pharma Research and Early Development and researcher, told CNN that Zosurabalpin works in a way that isn’t like anything else on the market.

His explanation was that this was a new way to do things, both in terms of the compound itself and the way it kills germs. It is hard to fight A. baumannii because it is a Gram-negative bacteria, which means it has protective membranes on both the inside and the outside.

Scientists first tried to find a mo
