[...] Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder. One in four middle-aged adults in Europe and the US will develop atrial fibrillation. 2 It causes 20-30% of all strokes and raises the risk of premature death, but outlook improves dramatically with oral anticoagulation therapy. Undiagnosed atrial fibrillation is common and many patients remain untreated. Opportunistic screening is recommended in over-65s, but has time, logistical, and resource demands.
DIGITAL-AF examined the feasibility and effectiveness of screening for atrial fibrillation with a smartphone app medically certified in the EU to detect the condition. The app was made freely available by publishing an access token in a local newspaper. Within 48 hours, 12,328 adults had scanned the token and enrolled in the study.

Just now I bookmarked a page where it's offering one of my drawings [warplife.com] absolutely free.
This one has me a little perplexed:

There's a site where you can pay them $4.99 to purchase any one of _my_ essays on mental illness and recovery [warplife.com].
Back in the day Scraper Sites were a widespread problem but Google has mostly beat them down. An effective way to determine whether one of your own pages has been jacked is to search for the verbatim text of a complete sentence out of the middle of one of your pages, in quotes.
While I mostly use relative links, here and there in each page I place an absolute URL to one of my site's pages. That will occasionally turn up clicks on scraper sites that have jacked my content without knowing to de-absolutize all the links it just put the arm on.
What A Wondrous Tool Google Is. Too bad they didn't take their own advice not to be evil [pixelbegone.org].
