Se espera que la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos decida el sábado si aprueba la primera píldora para la depresión posparto.El medicamento, llamado zuranolona, se toma diariamente durante dos semanas. En un par de ensayos clínicos en los que participaron mujeres que experimentaron depresión grave después de tener un bebé, el medicamento mejoró los síntomas, como ansiedad, problemas para dormir, pérdida del placer, poca energía, culpa o aislamiento social, tan pronto como tres días después de la primera píldora.El medicamento fue desarrollado conjuntamente por las compañías farmacéuticas Biogen y Sage Therapeutics. Si se aprueba, se convertirá en el primer tratamiento para la depresión posparto que se puede tomar en casa. La única otra opción disponible es una inyección intravenosa que la FDA aprobó en 2019.

Homeless camp cleared out, but where will they go now?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:41:08 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Friday morning, crews and first responders arrived at 22nd and Stout streets downtown for a sweep of a homeless encampment.This sweep was the first of new Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's term. He said the encampment was rat-infested, and health and safety necessitated the move. Johnston, alongside the district's first-year Council Member Darrell Watson, visited the encampment Thursday, a day before this sweep, to ensure people knew this would be happening and to provide resources. Related: Mayor Mike Johnston declares emergency over homelessness in Denver The issue for some was that the city did not have a permanent place or shelter for these people to go to."This is a temporary Band-Aid on a much bigger solution," said Justin Paris, one person advocating on the scene.Sweeping the encampment without ensuring housing for the people involved is something Johnston said he wouldn't do."I think that’s very shameful, because he said he would not sweep people unless he had s...

NTSB releases report on February runway scare at Logan Airport, says charter jet pilot took off without permission

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:41:08 GMT

Federal investigators said Thursday that the pilot of a charter jet took off without permission, creating a “conflict” with a JetBlue plane that was preparing to land on an intersecting runway at Boston’s Logan International Airport in February.A screen grab from video shot from the JetBlue cockpit captures the moment that the Learjet operated by charter service Hop-A-Jet crossed the runway just in front of the JetBlue plane.Pilots of the JetBlue Embraer jet estimated they were about 30 feet (9 meters) off the ground when they saw a plane cross in front of them — the captain said he couldn’t estimate how close they were to the smaller plane, according to a report from the National Transportation Safety Board. The JetBlue pilots were able to pull up and circle around and land safely.The captain of the Hop-A-Jet said he heard air traffic controllers tell him to line up and wait before taking off — and even repeated the order back to the controller — “but in his m...

Column: Hollywood is spending more than ever. Where is the money going?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:41:08 GMT

Nina Metz | Chicago Tribune (TNS)Streaming platforms have been spending more on television programming than at any other time in history. And yet, as the Hollywood actors and writers strikes have made clear, that money isn’t going to most of the workaday people who make these TV shows. So where is the money going? Let’s make some educated guesses.In 2022, Netflix spent $16.7 billion on content. Over at Warner Bros. Discovery, that number was $18 billion.How does that compare to what TV networks were spending 25 years ago? A 1997 report on the FCC’s website titled “TV Programming Costs” gives us a snapshot. The cost is broken down by licensing fees paid per week, or what TV networks were paying to license shows from the studios that actually made them (for example, NBC licensed “Friends” from Warner Bros).For the ‘97-’98 TV season, NBC was spending the most, with $29 million a week in licensing fees. If we assume those shows had 22-episode seasons, the total spend on scripted program...
