This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent hand-shaking and the use of aspirin,' she further added.According to MedlinePlus, venous insufficiency occurs when the veins struggle to return blood from the legs back to the heart. Although the condition typically worsens over time, it can be managed effectively if addressed early.In April, President Trump's physician, Captain Sean Barbabella, issued an official memo detailing the president's health following his annual physical examination.- EndsWith inputs from ReutersTune InMust Watch

'Equipment For Sale': Gaza Journalist Offers To Sell Press Shield To Feed His Starving Family
Last Updated: Gaza-based photojournalist Mohammed Abo Oun offered his camera equipment and press shield to feed his family as the enclave faces an acute hunger crisis due to Israel's offensive. As the talks for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war reached another roadblock, a Gaza-based photojournalist's plea to sell his equipment to buy food for his starving family has cast the spotlight on the growing humanitarian crisis and hunger in the besieged Palestinian enclave. Israel has come under mounting international outrage over severe shortages of food, clean water and medical supplies in wake of its devastating offensive in retaliation for the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. The humanitarian crisis is now affecting aid workers and journalists as well. In a LinkedIn post, journalist Mohammed Abo Oun has offered his camera equipment and press shield to buy food for himself and his family. His post has ignited global attention, reflecting a growing desperation among Gaza's population, who are staring at a devastating food scarcity. 'I am the photojournalist Mohammed Abu Aoun from Gaza, I want to offer my equipment and the press shield for sale so that I can buy food for me and my family," he said. Abo Aoun has contributed to major international media outlets, including The New York Times, Sky News, and ABC News. Gaza Facing Imminent Famine The United Nations and NGOs are warning of an imminent famine in the Gaza Strip – a designation based on strict criteria and scientific evidence. 'A large proportion of the population of Gaza is starving", according to the World Health Organisation's chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Malnutrition-related deaths have surged this month, with even humanitarian workers struggling to obtain basic food supplies. Israel imposed a total blockade on the entry of aid into Gaza on March 2 after talks to extend a ceasefire broke down. It began to allow a trickle of aid to enter again in late May, but many groups warned that these steps are not enough to prevent the acute scarcity Gaza faces. Humanitarian organisations have also accused the Israeli army of imposing excessive restrictions on the goods allowed into Gaza and on the routes made available to transport the aid to distribution points. Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Talks Furthermore, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to abandon Gaza ceasefire negotiations with Hamas on Friday, both saying it had become clear that the Palestinian militants did not want a deal. 'Hamas really didn't want to make a deal. I think they want to die. And it's very bad. And it got to be to a point where you're going to have to finish the job," Trump said, while Netanyahu said Israel was considering 'alternative" options to bring its hostages from Gaza. 'Trump's remarks are particularly surprising, especially as they come at a time when progress had been made on some of the negotiation files," Hamas official Taher al-Nunu told AFP.

‘Investigate the health' of Donald Trump, ex-navy veteran urges Congress not to ignore POTUS' red flags
Donald Trump is facing new pressure for a full mental health check after a series of strange public appearances left even some of his supporters confused, according to Mirror report. Dr. Bandy Lee, a former Yale psychiatry professor, said she first saw signs of cognitive decline in Donald Trump back in 2017.(REUTERS) At the same time, some Republicans are still going after the former President Biden's health records from when he was in office. But one retired Navy commander says they're going after the wrong person. Paul Mazich: 'Investigate the health of our current president' Paul Mazich, a former Navy commander, called out Congress for focusing on Biden instead of Trump. He wrote in a column, 'Does it really matter whether Congress investigates former President Joe Biden's health in office? He's retired. Leave him alone. Here's a better idea: Investigate the health of our current president.' Trump, who returned to the presidency earlier this year, has made headlines with some odd speeches. In one, he claimed his late uncle taught the Unabomber, even though the dates don't sit align. That comment is just one of several that experts have called out as troubling. Mazich said, 'Clues to Trump's mental state have been plainly observable for many years. During his first term, dozens of psychiatrists and mental health professionals tried to warn the public.' Also Read: 'Trump: Convicted Felon' headline goes viral | A look at his indictments Trump suffers from a health issue He urged Congress to act quickly, 'If they determine that Trump suffers from a health issue that makes him unfit for office, they must act for the nation's good and not for political advantage." Trump has waved off concerns, saying he 'aced' a memory test and 'got every answer right.' Dr. Bandy Lee, a former Yale psychiatry professor, said she first saw signs of cognitive decline in Trump back in 2017. She now heads the World Mental Health Coalition. Also Read: In US, Pakistan's foreign minister backs Donald Trump's 'ceasefire' claim as he meets Marco Rubio 'Trump's bizarre speech and political decisions…' Last year, that group released a warning signed by more than 50 top psychiatrists, neurologists, and dementia experts. It said, 'What's alarming is how the rate of Trump's bizarre speech and political decisions have been increasing. He gave an answer about childcare to the Economic Club of New York so incoherent that even his supporters were concerned.' The group also pointed to signs like how Trump walks, problems speaking clearly, and dropping vocabulary and thought complexity, all common symptoms of dementia.

Gaza: Hunger deaths rise to 122, UN food aid says a third of Gazans starving for days
Warnings of starvation in Gaza have intensified this week. Nine more people died of malnutrition on Friday, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry - bringing the total such deaths since the war began to 122 read more Displaced Palestinian mother Samah Matar holds her malnourished son Youssef, who suffers from cerebral palsy, at a school where they shelter amid a hunger crisis, in Gaza City. Reuters Gaza is facing its worst humanitarian crisis, with the UN's World Food Programme saying, 'Malnutrition is surging with 90,000 women and children in urgent need of treatment.' Warnings of starvation in Gaza have intensified this week. Nine more people died of malnutrition on Friday, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry - bringing the total such deaths since the war began to 122. France and the UK have called on Israel to 'immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid' into the territory. In a joint statement, the two countries said, 'Withholding essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD UN Chief Antonio Guterres said he could not 'explain the level of indifference and inaction we see by too many in the international community - the lack of compassion, the lack of truth, the lack of humanity'. Trump asks Israel to 'finish the job' Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has called on Israel to escalate its military conflict to 'finish the job' against Hamas, days after withdrawing his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and other negotiators from ceasefire talks. 'I think they want to die, and it's very, very bad. It got to be to a point where you're gonna have to finish the job,' Trump said, referring to Hamas, as he embarked on his four-day private visit to Scotland. The president's comments signal a shift in his tone from negotiation to war mongering as ceasefire talks failed earlier this week. 'They're gonna have to fight and they're gonna have to clean it up. You're gonna have to get rid of 'em,' Trump told Israel. Gaza truce talks Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire have reached an impasse, more than two weeks after they began. A Hamas official on Friday accused US envoy Steve Witkoff of reneging on Washington's positions and distorting reality after he announced the United States' withdrawal from Gaza truce talks and accused the group of blocking a deal. 'The negative statements of the US envoy Witkoff run completely counter to the context in which the last negotiations were held, and he is perfectly aware of this, but they come to serve the Israeli position,' said Hamas political bureau member Bassem Naim in an interview with AFP.
