35、 comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has t

36、o work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You wont feel any immediate effects, but

37、repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Dont keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside o

38、f your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis （麻痹）of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your anklewhat we know as that pins and needles sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only

39、 last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health i

43、e as the industry catches up with the artificial- intelligence （Al） revolution.Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks Al will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors1 words into

44、 patient records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, Al is set to save time, lives and money.The fear some people have is that Al will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modern medicine. If it gives a “gift

45、 of time to doctors, they argue that this bonus should be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an ever-bigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as gove

46、rnments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations.

48、eigh the surgeon s knife or the chemisf s drug. There s lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human carers fails to satisfy the demand for health care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chatbots. The considerately warmed stethoscope（听诊器），placed gently on a patienf s back, may become a relic of the past.32. ?Whaf s Dr?Top
