Ella le hizo verificación de los hechos a Trump durante los 70 minutos del foro en vivo. Una y otra vez le dijo a Trump que la elección no fue robada. Que no estaba amañada. Que no había evidencia de las mentiras que estaba diseminando en el escenario.“La elección no fue manipulada, señor presidente”, le dijo Collins a Trump en un momento del evento. “No puede seguir diciendo eso toda la noche”.Sin embargo, Trump lo hizo. Con frecuencia el expresidente ignoró o interrumpió a Collins durante toda la noche mientras desataba una andanada de desinformación sobre el país, que es en lo que una gran parte del Partido Republicano sigue creyendo. Trump, una máquina de mentiras profesional, disparó falsedades a un ritmo rápido mientras usaba su bravuconería para abrumar a Collins, rob...

Sleep apnea, lack of deep sleep linked to damage in brain, study says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:04:45 GMT

(CNN) — Uncontrolled sleep apnea — a disorder in which people stop breathing for 10 seconds or more at a time multiple times a night — may harm future brain health, a new study found.It’s estimated 936 million adults worldwide between the ages of 30 and 69 may suffer from sleep apnea, with many more people undiagnosed. If the sleep apnea is severe and untreated, people have three times the risk of dying from any cause.People with severe sleep apnea who spent less time in deep, also known as slow-wave sleep, had more damage to the white matter of the brain than people who had more slow-wave sleep, according to the study.White matter is the tissue that forms connections between brain cells and the rest of the nervous system. When the brain is scanned, small white spots, called white matter hyperintensities, show the extent of the damage.For every 10% decrease in time spent in deep sleep, there was an increase of white matter hyperintensities in the brain similar to the eff...
