Could you or someone you care about have chronic kidney disease (CKD)? More than 20 million people over the age of 20 in the United States have kidney disease. If you may be at risk for kidney disease, consider scheduling a kidney screening with your primary care physician (PCP) for your next checkup. No cost screenings are offered in some areas as well.
The Paralympics and Olympic Games could merge, says the president of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Sir Philip Craven said things are developing all the time and nothing is set in stone.
The summer and winter games are each held every four years (an Olympiad). Until 1992, they were both held in the same year. Since then, they have been separated by a two year gap. The original Olympic Games were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece, and were celebrated until AD 393.
