Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:05:27 GMT

(CNN) — Según un estudio reciente, los adultos mayores que tomaron un complejo multivitamínico a diario durante tres años experimentaron una leve mejora de su memoria al cabo de un año, en comparación con las personas que tomaron un placebo, o pastilla de azúcar.Al inicio del estudio, se pidió a 3.560 adultos mayores de 60 años que aprendieran 20 palabras en un programa de cómputo. Los participantes en el estudio disponían de tres segundos para estudiar cada palabra antes de que apareciera la siguiente. Inmediatamente después, se pidió a los participantes que teclearan todas las palabras que pudieran recordar.Al final del primer año, el estudio descubrió que las personas que seguían tomando un multivitamínico diario eran capaces de recordar, de media, casi una palabra más que quienes tomaban un placebo. Aunque el efecto fue pequeño, fue estadísticamente significativo, según el estudio publicado este miércoles en la revista académica The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.S...

LITTLETON, Colo. (KDVR) — A Littleton man is hoping to track down two heroes he credits for saving his life after having a seizure in a local gym hot tub 10 days ago.The incident happened on Mother’s Day around 5:30 p.m. at the Chuze Fitness jacuzzi. Chip Hart told FOX31 he wants to do more than thank his heroes on TV for saving his life. He hopes his story can help track them down so he can share that gratitude in person.“It's been an emotional week,” Hart said. “I am just glad to feel alive.”Hart has epilepsy and has a special implant that’s helped him avoid seizures for several years. However, on Mother’s Day evening while wrapping up a relaxing jacuzzi dip at his gym, his head started to turn and his body quickly went stiff.“This is the scariest seizure that I've had. I’ve dealt with them for 40 years all my life,” Hart said. “I had enough time to tell myself, 'oh crud,' but I knew I didn’t have enough time to do anything, by then it had my body.” High schooler celebrated...

DeNiro meets the parents – again in ‘About My Father’

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:05:27 GMT

MOVIE REVIEW“About My Father”Rated PG-13. At the AMC Boston Common, AMC South Bay and suburban theaters..Grade: BAlthough its title evokes Pedro Almodovar’s 1999 Oscar-winner “All About My Mother,” Robert De Niro’s comedy vehicle “About My Father” is more like a variation on a theme of the 2000 De Niro-starring hit “Meet the Parents.” Featuring De Niro as Chicago hairdresser Salvo Maniscalco, a part played by Tony Danza in the 2016 Maniscalco effort “Sebastian Says,” “About My Father” starts out as a story heavily narrated by son-of-immigrants Sebastian Maniscalco (himself). Sebastian’s mother and father came from Italy to America, we learn, where they raised their son. The mother has recently died and Sebastian and his father are all that is left of the family. Afraid that her country club-approved, hotel chain-owning family disapproves of his modest Italian immigrant background, Sebastian both fears the prospect and longs to meet his girlfriend Ellie Collins̵...

Historically, the Legislature has been a closed-door operation, where committee votes have been hidden from the general public, and legislation has been voted on in the dark of night,” DiZoglio said in a statement.DiZoglio isn’t alone in aiming a slingshot at Goliath. This week Gloucester state Sen. Bruce Tarr offered an amendment to the upper chamber’s fiscal 2024 spending plan in a bid to increase transparency by requiring every one of the state’s at least 42 public adjacent agencies to post the...
