Puede que los científicos hayan descubierto las causas de las náuseas matutinas, y ven esperanzas en un posible tratamiento

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:28 GMT

(CNN) — La mayoría de las personas que se quedan embarazadas sufren náuseas matutinas. Algunas, como Catalina la princesa de Gales y la actriz Amy Schumer, padecen formas tan graves que necesitan ser hospitalizadas, y algunas mujeres incluso mueren a causa de ellas.Los científicos llevan años tratando de entender su causa con la esperanza de encontrar algún día una cura.Un estudio publicado esta semana en la revista Nature sugiere que algunas personas embarazadas son especialmente sensibles a una hormona llamada GDF15. Se produce en niveles bajos en todo el organismo, pero una persona embarazada recibe otra fuerte dosis del feto en crecimiento, y eso puede desencadenar náuseas y vómitos. Los estudios realizados con pacientes con cáncer han descubierto que cuando el cuerpo produce demasiado GDF15, puede provocar náuseas crónicas y pérdida de peso.Un estudio de 2018 encontró un vínculo entre el gen que controla el GDF15 y las náuseas y los vómitos durante el embarazo en 53.000 m...

PHOENIX (AP) — Jalen Brunson’s eighth 3-point attempt of the night initially looked a little off the mark, hitting the side of the rim before bouncing around a couple times and finally dropping through.The sixth-year guard was so hot from the field that a shooter’s roll almost seemed unfair. He got it anyway.Brunson scored a career-high 50 points while hitting all nine of his 3-point attempts, Julius Randle added 23 and the New York Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns 139-122 on Friday night.It was a brilliant shooting display from Brunson, who made 17 of 23 shots, including 12 of 12 in the second half.

He also had five steals.“I had no idea,” Brunson said about his perfection from long range. “I was just playing free.”Brunson is the first Knicks player in franchise history to score 50 points while making nine 3s.Phoenix — which lost star guard Bradley Beal to an ankle injury in the first quarter — has dropped six of its last eigh...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:28 GMT

Rudy Giuliani must pay $148 million in damages to two former Georgia election workers whose lives were upended after the former New York City mayor falsely accused them of manipulating ballots in 2020, a federal jury determined Friday.The eight-member panel awarded Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss about $16 million apiece for claims that Giuliani defamed them, as well as $20 million apiece for the emotional distress they experienced after Giuliani’s allegations were followed by a deluge of threats, harassment and professional consequences.The jury of Washington, D.C., residents also determined that Giuliani must pay $75 million in “punitive” damages, a penalty intended to deter him and others from engaging in similar smear campaigns in the future.The verdict was announced late Friday afternoon, after about 10 hours of deliberations following an unusual four-day trial in which the jury’s only task was to make damage awards, since U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell had ...

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A prolonged communications blackout that severed telephone and internet connections compounded the misery Saturday in the besieged Gaza Strip, where a United Nations agency said hunger levels had spiraled in recent days.Internet and telephone lines went down Thursday evening and were still inaccessible Saturday morning, according to internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org, hampering aid deliveries and rescue efforts as Israel’s war against Gaza’s ruling militant group Hamas stretched into the 11th week. “The internet blackout is ongoing, and based on our records it is the longest such incident” in the over-two-month war, said Alp Toker, the group’s director. The United Nations’ humanitarian affairs department said communications with Gaza were “severely disrupted” due to damage to telecommunications lines in the south.The offensive, triggered by the unprecedented Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, has flattened much of northern Gaza and driven 8...

The Indian Navy is shadowing a bulk carrier likely taken by Somali pirates in the Arabian Sea

NEW DELHI (AP) — The Indian Navy said Saturday that it is shadowing a bulk carrier that was boarded by unknown attackers — likely Somali pirates — in the Arabian Sea.The Maltese-flagged MV Ruen, with a crew of 18, had sent a Mayday message on the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations portal on Thursday indicating that six unknown people had boarded the vessel, the Indian Navy said in its statement. The navy responded to the distress call by sending its anti-piracy patrol warship and maritime patrol aircraft to locate and assist the vessel, it added. The aircraft overflew the hijacked vessel early Friday and has since been continuously monitoring the movement of the vessel, which the Indian Navy said was headed toward the coast of Somalia. It added that its warship, which was deployed in the Gulf of Aden for anti-piracy patrols, also intercepted the carrier early on Saturday. The Ruen, which is managed by Bulgarian shipping company Navibulgar, was off the Yemeni island of Socotra ...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia and Ukraine each reported dozens of attempted drone attacks in the past day, just hours after Hungary vetoed 50 billion euros ($54.5 billion) of EU funding to Ukraine. Ukraine’s air force said Saturday that Ukrainian air defense had shot down 30 out of 31 drones launched overnight against 11 regions of the country.Russia also said Friday evening that it had thwarted a series of Ukrainian drone attacks. Russian anti-aircraft units destroyed 32 Ukrainian drones over the Crimean peninsula, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Telegram. Russia annexed the peninsula from Ukraine in 2014, a move that most of the world considered illegal, and has used it as a staging and supply point during the war.Earlier, Russia’s Defense Ministry said that six drones had been shot down in the Kursk region, which borders Ukraine.In Ukraine’s partially occupied southern Kherson region, Russian-installed governor Vladimir Saldo reported on Telegram that Russian anti-aircraft uni...

Toronto’s homeless residents and frontline workers brace for bitter winter

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:28 GMT

TORONTO — In warmer weather, Jamie Lee Pauk is usually on the move searching for food or a job. But as winter closes in, she’s mostly staying close to a downtown Toronto encampment squeezed into a churchyard lot off the sidewalk of a busy downtown street.“With this cold specifically, I’ve been quite still. I can’t even function,” says Pauk, wearing in an overcoat and multiple sweaters as temperatures hovered around 0 C. “Some days it’s unbearable and then other days, you just hunker down.”Pauk was the last remaining resident of a homeless encampment outside St.-Stephen-in-the-Fields Anglican Church as of last week. Most of it was cleared by City of Toronto crews over a day in late November as temperatures dipped below freezing.Despite trespass notices and threats of arrest, Pauk refuses to budge. She says leaving the encampment would mean leaving friends, community and nearby supports she’s depended on since July 2022. At St.-Ste...
