Low BP before surgery could be deadly

London, June 1 (IANS) Patients with low blood pressure before an operation are at an increased risk of death during or after the surgery than those with preoperative high blood pressure, say researchers, including Indian-origin scientists. "While high blood pressure control is important for long-term health, high blood pressure itself does not impose a significant risk of postoperative death," said the study by Puja Myles and Sudhir Venkatesan from the University of Nottingham in Britain and colleagues. Perioperative generally refers to the three phases of surgery: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative.

Man Fined for Using Smartwatch While Driving

Toronto: It is against the law to use a smartphone behind the wheel in most countries but what about a smartwatch? A man in Canada learned the hard way that police will not tolerate those as he was fined 120 Canadian dollars and given four demerit points in Quebec for using his Apple smartwatch. Jeffrey Macesin from Pincourt said he was shocked when he was pulled over because he did not think he was breaking the law. The self-described gadget lover said he thought he was permitted to watch his new Apple Watch while driving, so long as he was not tapping away on his smartphone.
