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

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:42:36 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.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:42:36 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 ...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:42:36 GMT

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...
