Hypertension
Article Abstract:
High blood pressure has a negative impact on the circulatory system, and people with high blood pressure have an increased risk of stroke and coronary heart disease. The causes of high blood pressure are very variable, but include being overweight, smoking and failing to take regular exercise. The key factor in reducing the risk from high blood pressure is improved awareness. It is important that blood pressure is measured at least once every five years, and more frequently in those already known to have high blood pressure.

Dyslexia
Article Abstract:
People suffering from dyslexia often feel they need to hide their difficulties in writing and reading from their employers. Some employers are using their dyslexic employees skills of visualization, particularly in computer aided design work. Severe dyslexics may be helped to gain employment under the UK Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Children with dyslexia are sometimes accused of being lazy by their teachers.
