Trump puede ser candidato a unas elecciones imputado, incluso si acaba en prisión

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:21:56 GMT

WASHINGTON DC- El expresidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, podría concurrir a la contienda de 2024, como es su intención, e incluso si acaba entre rejas, pese a haber sido imputado este martes por tercera vez con cargos penales por sus supuestos esfuerzos para revocar el resultado de las elecciones de 2020.Pese a los numerosos pleitos contra él y ser el primer exmandatario del país en afrontar acusaciones penales, Trump por el momento sigue siendo el gran favorito entre los republicanos para hacerse con la nominación de su partido para las elecciones presidenciales de noviembre de 2024, muy por delante de su principal contrincante, el gobernador de Florida, RonDeSantis.Y parece que legalmente no existe nada que le impida presentarse a las primarias republicanas del próximo año ni concurrir a los comicios generales. Fiscal especial prevé un “juicio rápido” contra Trump por el asalto al Capitolio Biden y Trump igualarían de cara a las pres...

The Schemer: Macron’s man is plotting to run the EU

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:21:56 GMT

BRUSSELS — When Thierry Breton first floated the idea of becoming European Commission president, not even he seemed to take the idea very seriously.“I may be able to consider a new Plan B assignment,” the internal market commissioner replied with a smile, when asked at a POLITICO event whether he wanted the top job, prompting laughter.But as the European Parliament election draws closer, Breton’s “Plan B” pitch to take over leadership of the EU executive is coming into greater focus.A former minister and tech CEO who was France’s second choice for European commissioner, Breton amassed a vast amount of power within the Berlaymont building where the commissioners sit, putting his stamp on everything from COVID vaccines to artillery shells for Ukraine’s war effort to enforcement of the EU’s digital rules. His job — overseeing the hallowed single market of the 27 EU member countries — is one of the most critical portfolios in Brussels, and previous occupants of the post have includ...

Mets complete disappointing trade deadline day with 10th inning loss to lowly Royals

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:21:56 GMT

KANSAS CITY — You’d never know that the Mets were considered preseason World Series contenders based on the lineup they put out Tuesday for the first game of a series against the Kansas City Royals, and based on the way they lost.Brandon Nimmo was out with quad tightness. The Mets used fringe guys like DJ Stewart, Rafael Ortega and Danny Mendick in place of lineup regulars. Such is life after the trade deadline, which passed just two hours before the Mets lost, 7-6, in 10 innings at Kauffman Stadium.With the bases loaded, the Mets brought in left-handed rookie Josh Walker. He balked without even throwing a pitch and the Royals walked off with the win.Walker’s balk was the result of a PitchCom issue. Walker was unable to obtain one when he ran out to the mound. They didn’t have them in the bullpen.“I didn’t have a PitchCom in my ear so me and [catcher Francisco Alvarez] didn’t have communication, so I was trying to relay that to him,” W...

Las mamografías asistidas por inteligencia artificial aumentan la detección del cáncer de mama en un 20%, según un estudio

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:21:56 GMT

(CNN) — La inteligencia artificial encontró más cánceres de mama que los médicos con años de capacitación y experiencia y redujo la carga de trabajo de lectura de mamografías de los médicos casi a la mitad, encontró un nuevo estudio en etapa inicial.Esto no significa que su hospital permitirá que una computadora determine si tiene cáncer en el corto plazo. Todavía queda mucha más investigación por hacer, pero el estudio, publicado este martes en la revista The Lancet Oncology, muestra que la IA es segura para usar en la detección del cáncer de mama y podría hacer que los médicos sean aún más efectivos para encontrar el cáncer de lo que son ahora.Otros estudios han demostrado que la inteligencia artificial puede ser útil para predecir el riesgo de cáncer de mama, pero utilizan modelos o se han centrado en datos retrospectivos. Se cree que la nueva investigación es el primer ensayo de control aleatorio que compara la detección del cáncer de mama asistida por inteligencia artific...
