time to play a little catch up

Here are four facts from my reading for the week:
1)Hypertension affects about 1 billion people worldwide (50 million in the US alone).
2)The blood pressure for a newborn is only about 50/40
3)There is a 2% chance that a person will develop Parkinson's disease in his/her lifetime.
4)Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Charles Dickens and Vincent Van Gogh were all affected by epilepsy

Sorry they are all from my pharmacology/pathophysiology readings and not very exciting
