This Test Can See a Heart Attack in Your Future
A long list of Lynda Hollander's paternal relatives had heart disease, and several had undergone major surgeries. So when she hit her mid-50s and saw her cholesterol levels creeping up after menopause, she said, 'I didn't want to take a chance.' A cardiologist told Ms. Hollander that based on factors like age, sex, cholesterol and blood pressure, she faced a moderate risk of a major cardiac event, like a heart attack, within the next 10 years. Doctors typically counsel such patients about the importance of diet and exercise, but Ms. Hollander, now 64, a social worker in West Orange, N.J., didn't have much room for improvement. She was already a serious runner, and although 'I fall off the wagon once in a while,' her diet was basically healthy. Attempts to lose weight didn't lower her cholesterol. Her doctor explained that a coronary artery calcium test, something Ms. Hollander had never heard of, could provide a more precise estimate of her risk of atherosclerotic heart disease. A brief and painless CT scan, it would show whether the fatty deposits called plaque were developing in the arteries leading to her heart. When plaque ruptures, it can cause clots that block blood flow and trigger heart attacks. The scan would help determine whether Ms. Hollander would benefit from taking a statin, which could reduce plaque and prevent more from forming. 'The test is used by more people every year,' said Dr. Michael Blaha, co-director of the preventive cardiology program at Johns Hopkins University. Calcium scans quadrupled between 2006 and 2017, his research team reported, and Google searches for related terms have risen even more sharply. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Ivan Taylor
For the first time since 2019, someone other than Malachi Moore will be wearing the No. 13 jersey for the Alabama Crimson Tide defense. The player taking over that jersey number for the Crimson Tide will be Ivan Taylor, a fellow defensive back who is a highly-touted prospect in his own right. Advertisement Coming to Alabama out of the state of Florida, Taylor is the son of former NFL cornerback Ike Taylor, and is a name that could easily make an impact in the Crimson Tide's defensive backfield in year one. Here is everything you need to know about Alabama true freshman defensive back Ivan Taylor entering the 2025 season. Ivan Taylor player information Position: Defensive Back Jersey Number: No. 13 Height: 6'0 Weight: 195 Class: Freshman Hometown: Winter Garden, Florida High School: West Orange Ivan Taylor career stats As mentioned previously, Taylor is a new face to Alabama this season, as well as college football overall. This will be the first season for Taylor collegiately. Ivan Taylor 2024 stats Taylor is new to Alabama this season, but is however coming off a strong high school senior season at West Orange High School in Florida. Playing both ways, Taylor amassed 75 tackles, nine TFL, and five interceptions across nine games defensively. Ivan Taylor recruiting ranking Taylor was among the headline defensive names in Alabama's 2025 recruiting class, coming to Tuscaloosa as the nation's No. 62 overall player according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. A four-star prospect who flipped to Alabama from Michigan in November of 2024, Taylor was also considered as the nation's No. 6 safety, as well as the No. 10 player in the state of Florida out of West Orange High School. Ivan Taylor 2025 season outlook When looking at Alabama's secondary, there are only two significant names who have moved on in Malachi Moore and DeVonta Smith. Advertisement Because of this, the Crimson Tide could have some playing time up for grabs at the safety and husky positions, but those spots however also return some experienced names such as Keon Sabb, Bray Hubbard, and DaShawn Jones as projected starters, meaning that Taylor projects as a backup to start the season. However, that does not mean that the talented freshman will not see playing time either, as Taylor should be one of Alabama's top backups who could potentially see time at both spots. Expect the freshman to see time on special teams as well, and for Taylor to enjoy a solid first season at Alabama.

Like a Tom Cruise stunt: hawk uses traffic patterns to target prey
It is a tactic worthy of Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt: wait until a beeping pedestrian crossing indicates a traffic queue has formed then use the line of cars as cover to reach your target. But this isn't a scene from Mission: Impossible – it's the behaviour of a young hawk. The discovery is not the first time birds have been found to make use of an urban environment. Crows, for example, are known to drop foods such as walnuts on to roads for cars to crush them open. However, the researcher behind a new study says it is the most advanced case so far of raptors making use of traffic patterns. 'When I figured out what was going on, I was really impressed. I didn't expect that,' said Vladimir Dinets, a zoologist at the University of Tennessee and author of the study. 'On the other hand, every time I study some animal species it proves smarter than I expect.' Dinets made the discovery during the school run in West Orange, New Jersey, when he spotted a young Cooper's hawk emerge from a tree near a road junction. The bird flew close to the pavement behind a queue of traffic that had stopped at a red light before crossing the road and taking a dive near one of the houses. After seeing the behaviour for a second time, Dinets realised the hawk was pouncing on a flock of birds that had gathered in front of a house where a family often ate dinner outdoors. Writing in the journal Frontiers in Ethology, Dinets describes how he then carried out 12 hours of observations from his car over 18 days during the winter of 2021-22. These were made on weekday mornings and only when the flock was present and there was no rain or snow the day before – weather that would prevent the residents of the house from eating alfresco. Dinets recorded six attempted attacks by the same hawk, identifiable by its plumage, and on one occasion saw it fly away with a house sparrow in its grip. He found the hawk only emerged from the tree when a long queue of traffic had built up, offering sufficient cover for its approach – something that depended on the pedestrian crossing being activated. Dinets also noticed the bird took up its position in the tree when the crossing's sound signal began, suggesting the hawk used the sound as an indication that a longer traffic queue was to form and that it was time to prepare for attack. 'This behaviour required having a mental map of the area and understanding the connection between the sound signals and the change in traffic pattern – a remarkable intellectual feat for a young bird that likely had just moved into the city,' Dinets writes, noting Cooper's hawks tend to be winter visitors to urban areas. Related: California town investigates mystery of 'exploding' bird deaths The following winter he twice saw an adult hawk, possibly the same bird, hunting in the same way. But the following summer the sound signals stopped working and the residents that ate alfresco moved out of their house. 'No hawks were ever observed at the intersection after that,' he wrote. Dinets added that while it is known social birds such as crows and parrots can be very clever, intelligence in more solitary species is more difficult for humans to recognise and so probably underestimated. 'Cities are extremely dangerous places for wild animals,' he added. 'Anything that can survive here must have some special abilities and deserves our respect.'
