Covid in the last six months could be at risk of a deadly side effect.People who caught the virus less than half a year ago could be more likely to get blood clots, with researchers in Sweden discovering a risk of deep vein thrombosis up to three months post-infection.The research also found that people with Covid in the last six months were more susceptible to a blood clot in the lungs.Reports also indicate that there is a greater chance of a "bleeding event" in the two months after being ill.The new research from Swedish provided more evidence to the vital use of vaccines to protect from Covid complications, which aren't limited when infected with the virus.Experts found that even mild, non-hospitalised Covid patients could be at risk of potentially deadly deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.They said: "Our findings arguably support thromboprophylaxis to avoid thrombotic events, especially for high risk patients, and strengthen the importance of vaccination against Covid-19."The chances of getting a blood clot were found to be higher during the first wave of the pandemic, which suggests improvements in treatment and wide-ranging vaccine coverage has lessened the risk.Researchers at the University of Glasgow looked into "living with Covid" as more governments ease restrictions.The researchers said the study "reminds us of the need to remain vigilant to the complications associated with even mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, including thromboembolism".Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms on a deep vein, usually in your legs, and if the blood clot breaks off and travels into the lungs, it can cause a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism.

It's been 22 years since iconic pop group Blue formed - but what are the lads up to these days? Let's take a look...Back in the day, band members Lee Ryan, Duncan James, Antony Costa and Simon Webbe stormed the noughties charts with their debut album, All Rise.Over four years, they released 16 singles and even collaborated with top music stars such as Elton John and Stevie Wonder.But shortly after in 2004, the lads left devastated fans all over when they announced they would be taking an indefinite hiatus.Five years later, in 2011, the group reformed for the Eurovision Song Contest where they came 11th. The pals then got came together again in 2013 thanks to ITV's Big Reunion and their following headline tour.Unfortunately, Blue were dropped by their record label in 2015 after their album, Colours, peaked at number 13 in the charts.However, skip to 2022 and they are set to put on a secret intimate show this weekend, release new music in the coming months and be heading out on tour once again.But let's take a look at what they've been up to individually over the years...In 2016, Duncan suffered a terrifying illness that almost left him wheelchair-bound.The star had two ­emergency operations on his back and was told by doctors he had faced death and might not ever walk again.He told The Mirror: “They said if they didn’t operate that same day I’d be paralysed because a nerve that was trapped would die.“I’d also lost control of my bladder.

cordless or robot models, but for cleaning power and reliability, it still beats the competition. It's easy to store — an upright vacuum can stand by itself and has a narrow body — and, as with a cylinder vacuum, it’s plugged into the mains rather than battery-powered.A cordless vacuum may only last for a few minutes on max power, so while they’re handy for spot cleaning, “a corded upright would have an advantage for a thorough clean,” says Katerina Petrova of the Happy House Cleaning Company. Petrova says there are very good models on the market for around £150, so an upright vacuum will be markedly cheaper than a cordless model on average. The best upright vacuum cleaners excel on carpet but work well on hard floors, too – look for the option to switch off the motorised brush roll to protect wood, tile or linoleum floors, or for models that come with an extra floorhead especially for that purpose. Upright vacuums have a significantly larger capacity than their cordless counterparts so are a good choice for larger homes, and can clean a large area quickly. The downsides are weight and bulk; upright vacuums are larger, chunkier and usually more cumbersome than cordless, which means they can be harder to lug up and down the stairs or get into tight corners or under furniture. Most vacuums come with an input power rating in Watts, although this is not quite the same as measuring suction.

Just weeks earlier, the Soviet Union had gotten a young new leader named Mikhail Gorbachev who ultimately would end that war and change the world in the process, for the better, it seemed at the time.Sadly, four decades later, Russia has launched the most devastating ground war in Europe since World War II with its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and it’s necessary to strike a humanizing tone again, and Sting has released a re-recorded version of the song to benefit www.helpukraine.center — a volunteer storage center established by Ukrainian business owners where humanitarian and medical aid can be sent from all over the world – with funds being processed through the German charity foundation, Ernst Prost, People for Peace – Peace for People.
