(CNN Español) — Las decisiones suelen definir a los líderes políticos. Y a sus entornos también. El presidente electo de Argentina, Javier Milei, viajaba rumbo a la Quinta presidencial de Olivos para la cumbre de la transición con el actual presidente, Alberto Fernández, pero antes de llegar decidió hacer una escala previa. Pasó a buscar a una persona de su máxima confianza, Nicolás Posse.“Un hombre de una inteligencia extraordinaria, hiperhonesto, con una capacidad de trabajo furiosa, y, sobre todo, es muy ordenado, y el jefe de Gabinete tiene que ser muy ordenado”. Así calificó Milei antes del balotaje a quien será uno de los funcionarios clave de su gobierno.La oficina del presidente electo le confirmó a CNN que Posse será el jefe de Gabinete de Ministros a partir del 10 de diciembre. Sin embargo, sus tareas no comenzarán esa fecha dado que es uno de los encargados del “armado de equipos” que arribará al poder, tal como describe una fuente que acompaña el día a día de...

South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius up for parole 10 years after killing his girlfriend

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:19 GMT

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius could be granted parole on Friday after spending nearly 10 years in prison in South Africa for murder. The double-amputee Olympic runner was one of the world’s most admired athletes before he killed his girlfriend by shooting her multiple times through a toilet door at his home on Valentine’s Day 2013.Pistorius, who turned 37 this week, was sent to prison in late 2014. He has been given a second chance at parole in the space of eight months after he was wrongly ruled ineligible for early release at a first hearing in March. That was due to an error made by an appeals court over when the sentence officially started.Pistorius was initially convicted of culpable homicide — a charge comparable to manslaughter — for killing Reeva Steenkamp. That conviction was overturned and he was convicted of murder after an appeal by prosecutors. They also appealed against an initial sentence of six years for murder, and Pistorius was ultimate...

People taking ADHD medications should closely monitor their heart health, study suggests

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:19 GMT

Long-term use of ADHD medications can raise the risk of cardiovascular disease in both children and adults, according to a study published Wednesday in JAMA Psychiatry. Experts say that the benefits of treatment still outweigh the risks for many, but heart heath should be carefully considered and monitored when making individual decisions.Researchers in Sweden followed the medical records of thousands of individuals with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder — known as ADHD — for an average of four years, and up to 14 years, between 2007 and 2020. The patients, ages 6 to 64, were monitored for a range of cardiovascular disease diagnoses. The researchers found that people taking ADHD medications had a higher risk of hypertension and arterial disease, and the risk increased over time.Each additional year of ADHD medication use elevated the risk of heart disease by an average of 4%, stabilizing after more substantial increases in the first three years of treatment.

Dilan Yeşilgöz, the leader of the biggest center-right party in the Dutch parliament, ruled out joining a potential Geert Wilders-dominated coalition but said she could support such a government from the sidelines.This could pave the way for an alliance between Wilders’ far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) and Pieter Omtzigt’s center-right New Social Contract (NSC) in government.“The big winners are the PVV and NSC. After 13 years, a different role suits us,” Yeşilgöz, leader of the liberal-conservative People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the part of outgoing premier Mark Rutte told reporters in The Hague on Friday. “But we will make a center-right cabinet possible. We will support constructive proposals, so it is a form of tolerance,” she added, according to public broadcaster NOS.Wilders quickly reacted on X, formerly Twitter, saying VVD’s decision, taken before the start of coalition negotiations, was “very disappointing.&#...
