El uso elevado del móvil puede afectar el recuento de espermatozoides, según un estudio

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:59:10 GMT

(CNN) — En los últimos 50 años, el número de espermatozoides en hombres ha disminuido más de un 50% en todo el mundo, lo que ha llevado a los investigadores a preguntarse por qué. ¿Podrían ser responsables la contaminación, las PFAS (ciertas sustancias químicas en el ambiente) y otras posibles toxinas presentes en los alimentos y el agua, el aumento de la obesidad y las enfermedades crónicas, o incluso el omnipresente teléfono móvil?Un nuevo estudio ha analizado el papel de los teléfonos móviles y ha descubierto que los hombres de entre 18 y 22 años que afirmaban utilizar el móvil más de 20 veces al día tenían un riesgo un 21% mayor de presentar un recuento global de espermatozoides bajo. Los hombres también tenían un 30% más de riesgo de una baja concentración de espermatozoides, una medida menos importante del recuento de espermatozoides en un mililitro de semen. El estudio no especificaba si los hombres llamaban o enviaban mensajes de texto, o si utilizaban sus teléfonos pa...

Same countries, same venue: India against Sri Lanka in a rematch of the 2011 Cricket World Cup final

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:59:10 GMT

MUMBAI, India (AP) — A heavy bout of nostalgia will descend upon the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday when India plays Sri Lanka at the Cricket World Cup.It will be a rematch of the 2011 final, when India won by six wickets and the venue became hallowed turf for the cricket crazed nation. A sea of blue had poured out onto the streets of Mumbai that night after MS Dhoni lifted India’s second World Cup trophy.Dhoni’s winning shot – a six over long on – was immortalized and two seats at the Wankhede are permanently decorated as that spot where the ball landed. All of it adds to the aura of this magnificent cricket venue by the seaside, where India is aiming to continue its unbeaten run in this tournament.Much has changed since 2011, of course. The great Sachin Tendulkar is long retired, although his name is stamped on the stands at the Wankhede. Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan – all of vital contributors to India’s second World Cup title — are also retired. Virat Kohli and spinner Ravi...

Stock market today: Asian shares track Wall Street gains ahead of Fed decision on interest rates

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:59:10 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian shares were mostly higher Wednesday after Wall Street advanced to claim back some of the ground it gave up in another losing month. Investors are awaiting a decision later Wednesday by the Federal Reserve on interest rates and updates on the state of the U.S. economy. The overwhelming expectation is that the Fed will keep its overnight interest rate steady. The bigger question is how long it will keep that main rate high. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index added 2.4% to 31,601.65 a day after the Bank of Japan held back from any major changes to its near-zero interest rate policy, though it adjusted its controls on government bond yields.The dollar weakened against the Japanese yen, trading at 151.28 yen. It jumped on Tuesday after the Japanese central bank’s decision. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng edged less than 0.1% higher, to 17,126.70. The Shanghai Composite index gained 0.1% to 3,023.08. South Korea’s Kospi advanced 1% to 2,301.56 and the S&P/ASX ...

(CNN) — La repentina muerte del ex primer ministro chino Li Keqiang desató una oleada de dolor y luto en todo el país.

St. Anthony Shrine is part of the solution to today’s tent ban along the long-neglected Mass and Cass encampment.“We’re going to get people into programs and change their lives,” said Fr. Thomas Conway, executive director of St. Anthony Shrine. “They just need a trained social worker to give them a little push.”That’s where the Shrine’s Mary Ann Ponti, director of outreach programs at St. Anthony Shrine, goes to work.“God bless Mary Ann,” said Conway. “She’s working on the mayor’s teams and is spending part of the week over on Mass and Cass.”The Shrine, located in Downtown Crossing on Arch Street, has been a respite for the soul and for the hungry for decades. The friars and staff hold their annual fundraising gala tonight and donations go to missions like the one along Mass and Cass.Conway said there’s no one answer to the opioid epidemic — seen in its raw reality in the encampment ̵...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:59:10 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani security forces on Wednesday rounded up, detained and deported dozens of Afghans who were living in the country illegally, after a government-set deadline for them to leave expired, authorities said.The sweep is part of a new anti-migrant crackdown that targets all undocumented or unregistered foreigners, according to Islamabad, though it mostly affects some 2 million Afghans who are in Pakistan without documentation. The crackdown has drawn widespread criticism from U.N. agencies, rights groups and the Taliban-led administration in Afghanistan. Pakistan’s interior minister confirmed that the deportations have begun. “Today, we said goodbye to 64 Afghan nationals as they began their journey back home,” Interim Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This action is a testament to Pakistan’s determination to repatriate any individuals residing in the country without proper documentation.”The authorities said Wednesday’s ...

Tories hold lead over Liberals, Canadians report limited trust in institutions: poll

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:59:10 GMT

OTTAWA — The Conservative party is maintaining a steady lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, a new poll suggests, at a time when Canadians are reporting limited trust in their institutions. Pierre Poilievre’s Tories are 14 percentage points ahead of the governing party, with 40 per cent of respondents in the survey saying they would vote Conservative, 26 per cent Liberal and 17 per cent NDP if an election were held that day.The poll conducted from Friday to Sunday also suggested that people in Canada are generally more trusting of institutions than their neighbours to the south — especially when it comes to federal election administrators, the countries’ top courts and the police. Nonetheless, majorities of Canadians said they don’t trust federal legislative bodies, provincial governments, the media and large corporations.A total of 1,632 Canadian respondents participated in the web survey, along with 1,002 Americans. It cannot be assigned a ma...
