Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:17:41 GMT
Patients who take blockbuster drugs like Wegovy or Ozempic for weight loss may face life-threatening complications if they need surgery or other procedures that require empty stomachs for anesthesia. This summer’s guidance to halt the medication for up to a week may not go far enough, either. Some anesthesiologists in the U.S. and Canada say they’ve seen growing numbers of patients on the weight-loss drugs who inhaled food and liquid into their lungs while sedated because their stomachs were still full — even after following standard instructions to stop eating for six to eight hours in advance. The drugs can slow digestion so much that it puts patients at increased risk for the problem, called pulmonary aspiration, which can cause dangerous lung damage, infections and even death, said Dr. Ion Hobai, an anesthesiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “This is such a serious sort of potential complication that everybody who takes this drug should know about it,” s...Linda Yaccarino, cuestionada por el caos en la X de Elon Musk, ofrece respuestas fuera de la realidad

(CNN) — Linda Yaccarino vive en un mundo de engaños.La líder de Twitter/X hizo el jueves una serie de afirmaciones descabelladas, y completamente ridículas, sobre la compañía propiedad de Elon Musk donde ella tiene el título (al menos en papel) como directora ejecutiva, aparentemente sin darse cuenta del sombrío estado de cosas en la plataforma en peligro.Durante una larga entrevista con Sara Eisen de CNBC, Yaccarino describió la antigua plataforma del ave como si todo no solo estuviera bien, sino que estuviera en una mejor posición desde la caótica toma de posesión y el reinado de Musk.Yaccarino habló fantásticamente sobre Twitter, que ha tenido un verano de extrema dificultad para realizar funciones básicas, como mostrar tweets y alojar transmisiones de audio en vivo, y proclamó que la aplicación pronto se sumergiría en el mundo de las videollamadas sin esfuerzo y el procesamiento de pagos en línea sin problemas.La exjefe de publicidad de NBCUniversal también fingió efectiva...France and Australia bury the AUKUS hatchet via football

Forget about the scuttled submarine deal that plunged Australia-France relations to an historic low. Paris and Canberra are acting like besties again, thanks to football and online bantz.French President Emmanuel Macron and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have spent most of the weekend joshing about their national teams — Les Bleues and the Matildas — facing off in the quarter-finals of the Women’s World Cup, which Australia is co-hosting with New Zealand. Ahead of the Saturday match, Albanese threw down the gauntlet in a social media post. “How about a bet @EmmanuelMacron? If [Australia] win tonight, you’ll support Australia in the semi-finals. If [France] win, I’ll support France. Deal?” the Aussie leader wrote. Macron gamely accepted the challenge, not without first praising Australia for “brilliantly” co-organizing the tournament. The camaraderie is a far cry from where the two country’s relations stood in 2021, when France rec...Orioles break through in 10th to beat red-hot Mariners, 1-0, backing Cole Irvin and bullpen

The Mariners honored King Félix on Saturday. The Orioles showed a new reign has begun.After Seattle inducted Félix Hernández into their hall of fame, Baltimore beat the Mariners, 1-0, in 10 innings, with Ryan Mountcastle singling in automatic runner Cedric Mullins in the top half of the extra frame before closer Félix Bautista stranded Seattle’s free runner in the bottom half with three strikeouts in his second inning.Mountcastle’s go-ahead knock was his second hit of the night, giving him half of Baltimore’s total in a dominant pitching night by both teams. The Orioles (72-45) failed to get in a runner in scoring position in second-year Seattle starter George Kirby’s first eight innings. They finally managed one in the ninth when Jordan Westburg singled and stole second, but Kirby retired the next two batters, spiking the ball after catching Mullins’ foul popup to end the inning.That meant Mullins began the top of the 10th at second...Latest news
