An easy way to understand the term is that the infection tends to lack evidence that it was incubating, or present when the patient entered the healthcare setting, thus meaning it was acquired post-admission. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that roughly 1.7 million Healthcare-Associated infections, from all types of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year. In Europe, where hospital surveys have been conducted, the category of gram-negative infections are estimated to account for two-thirds of the 25,000 deaths each year. Nosocomial infections can cause severe pneumonia and infections of the urinary tract, bloodstream and other parts of the body. Many types display antimicrobial resistance, which can complicate treatment. In the UK about 300,000 patients were affected in 2017, and this was estimated to cost the NHS about £1 billion a year. In-dwelling catheters have recently been identified with hospital acquired infections.

If you have high blood pressure, and you don’t control it, your heart has to work progressively harder to pump blood through your arteries. Your heart may enlarge, and you’ll be at an increased risk for heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure, and atherosclerosis (buildup of plaque in the arteries). Men have a greater risk of high blood pressure than women until age 55, when their respective risks become about the same. At age 75 and older, women are more likely to develop high blood pressure than men. People who have high blood pressure should work with their doctor to control it. Eating a proper diet, losing weight, exercising regularly, restricting salt (sodium) intake, and following a program of medication may all be prescribed to lower blood pressure and keep it within healthy limits. Your blood pressure is a measurement of the pressure of the blood flow in your arteries. Your systolic blood pressure, the higher number, tells you the pressure in your arteries when your heart is contracting and pumping blood out into the body.
It is confirmed in Deathly Hallows when the object is inherited by Ron that the Deluminator is of Dumbledore’s own design. Dumbledore is the possessor and master of the Elder Wand, an extremely powerful object known also as the “Wand of Destiny” or the “Deathstick”, and one of the Deathly Hallows. Unlike many of the wand’s previous owners, Dumbledore keeps its identity a closely guarded secret. He also has a pet phoenix named Fawkes. It is revealed in Philosopher’s Stone by Mr. Ollivander that Harry’s wand carries a phoenix feather as its magical core and that particular phoenix only gave one other feather, the one in Voldemort’s wand that gave Harry his scar. It is later revealed in Goblet of Fire that Fawkes was the phoenix whose feathers provide the magical core in Harry’s and Voldemort’s wands. Percival and Kendra Dumbledore.
