The results of the stent study were probably the most unexpected—one doctor at the meeting told reporters he was “incredulous” upon seeing them. But they’re real, and they fit into a growing body of research suggesting that the tiny metal tubes aren’t the cure-all they were touted to be when they hit the market 13 years ago. In the study, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, some patients with chronic coronary artery disease were treated with stents as well as a cocktail of drugs that affect the arteries, including cholesterol-lowering statins....

RELATED: The 10 Best Blizzard Games Of All Time (According To Metacritic) Upon release, the Demon Hunter was, quite simply, disastrously overpowered.

Let’s take a look at what the Demon Hunter excels at, and give a glimpse at some of the best cards unique to the class....

The bench, comprising Chief Justice Navaniti Prasad Singh and Justice Raja Vijayaraghavan, gave the verdict on a petition filed by the BCCI against a single-judge bench’s order, lifting the life ban imposed on the 34-year-old pacer. The division bench said there was no violation of natural justice against the cricketer and quashed the single bench order in Sreesanth’s favour. In its appeal, the BCCI had said the decision to ban the cricketer was taken based on the evidence against him....

Salah struggled to make an impact during his time at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho, making just 19 appearances for the capital club before heading to Italy in February 2015. But, after productive spells with Fiorentina and Roma in Serie A, the Egypt international has taken the Premier League by storm with Liverpool this season. Salah has scored 31 times in the league and was recently crowned PFA Players’ Player of the Year, edging out another Chelsea old boy in Kevin De Bruyne to scoop the individual honour....

Sarri is reportedly close to leaving Chelsea after less than 12 months at the club amid suggestions he has been enticed back to Serie A by Italian champions Juventus. Fan favourite Lampard has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed Sarri following a positive first campaign in management with Championship side Derby County, which ended with defeat to Aston Villa in the play-off final. Some have questioned the 40-year-old’s lack of managerial experience, but Di Matteo believes his old team should take a gamble by appointing their former midfielder....

Pitch-Perfect Pedro At just 27, Pedro Martinez is baseball’s premier pitcher, a threat to become the first hurler in 30 years to win 30 games. And in the All-Star Game held last week on his home turf, Fenway Park, the Red Sox star demonstrated why. With Boston fans chanting his name and waving Dominican flags, Martinez set a record by striking out the game’s first four batters–including whiffs by sluggers Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire....

Cancer, by comparison, claims a little more than half that number (about 550,000). But most causes of cardiovascular disease are preventable. This week, the American Heart Association released a new set of guidelines to help Americans reduce their risk of developing the deadly disease. For the first time, doctors are also being advised to routinely evaluate the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients as young as 20....

For example, while chest pain is the classic symptom associated with reduced blood flow to the heart, many women having a heart attack have no chest pain. Still others experience a burning sensation that can easily be confused for heartburn. Heart attack symptoms in women also include things that are not immediately thought to be attributed to the heart, such as nausea. This article covers the signs of heart attack in women, along with when women should contact their healthcare provider regarding symptoms they may be having....

Called Battlegrounds, this forthcoming Hearthstone game mode will be familiar to players that are already vested in autobattlers like Teamfight Tactics and Dota Underlords. To be enjoyed by eight players, Hearthstone’s Battlegrounds will let players “take on the role of a familiar Hero straight out of Hearthstone history, craft a powerful board of recruited Minions, and face-off in an action-packed series of duels until a single winner is crowned.”...

In 2022, Hearthstone esports featured a total prize pool of $3 million spread across more than a dozen events.

More than 1 million people have liked the clip posted by Caitie Evers, 30, who uses the handle @caitiesfosterfam. The high school teacher, who runs a non-profit rescue, spoke to Newsweek about Peyton, the injured pup who is currently recovering from sacrum surgery. The viral clip captioned: “It’s so hard to believe someone could hit this sweet girl and then just leave her there all day. And that nobody out of the millions who drove by stopped to help....

The rescue operation took place at a home in Yucca Valley in San Bernardino County, California. San Bernardino County Fire Department said two 5-month-old puppies made their way into the tortoise den and were prevented from leaving by Oscar. The 100-pound tortoise blocked the pups’ exit out of the den and firefighters were called to dig them out. After all attempts to coax Oscar out of the way with watermelon pieces proved, well, fruitless, firefighters spent over an hour digging a tunnel to the dogs’ position....

Tyler Herro was a Heat hero in during his rookie season, but has come back down to Earth in recent weeks before coming back to life vs. the Spurs on Wednesday. The Heat, though, are apparently keeping an eye on what Herro’s up to off the court. On the “Inside the Paint” podcast (conversation starts at 38:24) Ethan Skolnick and Ira Winderman say that Herro’s desire to become a celebrity off the court may have rubbed some teammates the wrong way, and that Miami brass is concerned with what’s happening with the shooting guard:...

The foul also was upgraded to a Flagrant Foul 2 from a common infraction. The incident occurred with 8:05 remaining in the third quarter of the Heat's 102-97 home victory. Watch the incident below:

The film, which comes out on DVD next month, is also a tale of the thwarted possibilities for Iraq’s youth. The band’s four members are educated and Westernized, and though they’re intensely loyal to Iraq, they yearn for a place where wearing a Slip Knot shirt won’t get you killed. Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has never been easy, but there was a brief moment—between Saddam Hussein’s fall and the chaos that ensued—in which the band, like many Iraqis, hoped real change would come....

Prescott becomes the new ‘chalk’ this week with yet another showcase game on deck Saturday. Auburn brings its unbeaten record to Starkville with its own Heisman candidate in quarterback Nick Marshall.

Fantasy baseball owners in standard and even deep mixed leagues won't miss Hellickson, who posted a 12-10 record, 5.17 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 135 strikeouts in 174 innings last year, but his absence could provide someone else with an opportunity to shine.
