Overview Giant cell arteritis, or GCA, is a vasculitis that affects large- and medium-sized blood vessels. The term “vasculitis” means that the blood vessels become inflamed. GCA mostly affects the branches of the external carotid artery, a large artery in the neck. The inflammation of specific arteries in GCA impairs blood flow, causing various symptoms like a headache, vision changes, and jaw pain when chewing. Diagnosis Obtaining a thorough medical history is critical to diagnosing GCA....

Former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Tina Brown has given an account of a lunch she attended with the princess—along with two other examples of similar lunches—in her examination of Diana’s relationship with the media as part of an extract of her new title The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor—The Truth and Turmoil. The examples are given to illustrate Brown’s conviction that toward the end of her life Diana was a sharp, keen publicity maneuverer, not—as has been suggested since her death—a manipulated victim of press intrusion....

Today, those I knew in Baghdad who remembered Eliot and wrote about him have died or, long since, abandoned a city that has become the epicenter of a widening civil war. But as I watched President George W. Bush give his press conference yesterday, I couldn’t help thinking of another Eliot poem. In “The Hollow Men,” there is that line about “paralysed force, gestures without motion,” and the famous conclusion about the world ending “not with a bang but a whimper....

Fortunately, a study published Wednesday by the New York City police department’s Intelligence Division, which is run by former CIA deputy director of operations David Cohen, provides a clear-eyed assessment of the risks that are real, rather than imagined, and opens the way for solutions that support the enforcement of the laws we’ve got in the war of ideas that is at hand. The terrorists’ ideology, it warns, “is proliferating in Western democracies at a logarithmic rate....

To encourage peace Abdullah has been willing, literally, to go where no Saudi monarch has gone before. Just yesterday he visited the Vatican for an unprecedented meeting with Pope Benedict XVI, and this only a year after Benedict’s remarks about the violent heritage of Islam provoked storms of angry protest in the Muslim world. For a Saudi ruler whose official title describes him as custodian of the two holiest shrines in Islam, this was no small gesture....

The internet celebrity rose to fame on the platform but will no longer be able to access her account due to “multiple violations” of the company’s Community Guidelines. “Well time to get a job,” Rae tweeted on Thursday night to her 4.8 million Twitter followers.

As you can tell from the statement above, Joe Torre, the league’s chief baseball officer, made the announcement. Torre, of course, was a longtime manager for the Yankees and had plenty of success with the franchise. After seeing the suspensions, some raised questions.

That included theatrics that some would classify as Oscar-worthy. After a missed free throw in the fourth quarter, James went flying through the air when he got tangled up with Phoenix’s Chris Paul on the rebound. James took a hard-looking fall after Paul’s foul, and that led to a scuffle between the teams and four technical fouls: one on the Lakers’ Alex Caruso, one on LA’s Montrezl Harrell and two on the Suns’ Cameron Payne, who was ejected....

The U.K. network announced that Morgan was stepping down after he stormed out of the studio during his live show on Tuesday. “Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain,” ITV wrote in a statement. “ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.” During Meghan and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on Sunday, she opened up about having suicidal thoughts when she was a working member of the royal family....

When Duke died at her Beverly Hills home on Oct. 28, 1993, the obituaries said she had suffered a heart attack. Duke’s friends thought otherwise. Why was she cremated the next day – without an autopsy – when she had a fear of fire and had asked to be buried at sea? Some thought she committed suicide. Duke herself believed for years that someone was trying to harm her – including her own adopted daughter – and had even set up an account with ransom money, in case she was kidnapped....

Romo might have extended his psychic ways to another sport on Monday, exchanging tweets with MLB free agent and former NL MVP Bryce Harper. MORE: Top 79 MLB free agents in 2019 It’s anyone’s guess who will sign Harper, but credit Romo with embracing the momentum gained over the weekend. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS Sports color commentator was only joking around with Harper, but based off Romo’s success on Sunday, would anyone really be surprised if the outfielder signed with the Rangers?...

“This is the year we’re going to take back the House,” Trump said toward the end of his speech. “We’re going to take back the Senate and we’re going to take back America. And in 2024, most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent White House.” The former president added that while he didn’t want to “detract” from what he called a “country-saving election” on Tuesday, a “very big announcement” would be coming from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on November 15....

Here’s the almost-impossible-to-believe paragraph ever typed about Will Muschamp in regards to the 2014 season: Muschamp and the Gators could take a 7-3 record into the season finale at Florida State with wins in hand against rivals Tennessee and Georgia. That’s really 8-3 if you count the canceled season opener against Idaho. It would’ve been 8-2 (or 9-2) if not for some fourth-quarter craziness against LSU.

However, news broke on the east coast early Sunday morning that the striker would not suit up for the contest. After running for 30 minutes on Friday, coach Mauro Biello told reporters at Stade Saputo that Drogba still felt some pain in his back, a problem that has been nagging him over the past two weeks....

Conte wins battle with Costa on and off the pitch Costa did not play against Leicester City on Saturday evening; it was left to Eden Hazard to lead the line in the 3-0 victory against the beleaguered champions, who set up Marcos Alonso for the opener. Talk that Costa had had his head turned by the lure of Chinese cash was dismissed by Conte, who instead claimed it was a back complaint which kept Costa from featuring....

“In Russia, they say that time cures, but we cannot forget. We must not forget.” –Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a phone call to President George W. Bush “It was the perverted hope of the perpetrators of this heinous crime that they could bring humiliation to and terrorize the American nation. [But] instead of being terrorized by this catastrophe, they became more steadfast and determined.” –Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, in a message to President George W....

Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) was boxing for the first time under new trainer Buddy McGirt. The pair worked together for six weeks in California, and Whyte’s approach was a lot more measured than is usually the case. He was also tested by an unheralded — yet undeniably talented — contender. “An undefeated heavyweight is the hardest thing to beat on this planet,” Whyte told DAZN afterward. “It was hard because I was boxing to new instructions....

This new phenomenon sees parents-to-be revealing their unborn baby’s sex at a gathering of friends and family.

This can be done in many creative ways—from firing a confetti cannon, to cutting into a cake to popping a balloon....
