Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 16:31:28 GMT

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — Lilia Vu birdied the first playoff hole to win her first major at the Chevron Championship after fellow American Angel Yin hit her approach shot into the water on Sunday.Yin’s second shot came up short and left and splashed into the pond guarding the par-5 18th hole, and Vu hit her approach just over the green. Vu went with putter from off the green and came up well short, but she converted from about 10 feet for the victory.The 25-year-old Californian won for the second time on the LPGA Tour and took a celebratory leap into the pond, a tradition borrowed from this tournament’s former venue at Mission Hills in the California desert.Vu birdied her last two holes for a 4-under 68 and a four-day total of 10-under 278 at Carlton Woods, then waited as other contenders — including Yin — faltered.But Yin, after bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes, birdied the 18th to force the playoff.Vu played at UCLA but considered quitting the game after a rough sta...

Estudio: vinculan la pérdida prolongada del olfato por COVID-19 con una actividad cerebral reducida

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 16:31:28 GMT

Un estudio reciente que examinó los impactos duraderos del coronavirus concluyó que las personas que viven con COVID-19 durante mucho tiempo y sufren de anosmia, la pérdida del olfato, experimentaron un cambio significativo en la actividad cerebral. Investigadores del University College London encontraron el vínculo entre la pérdida del olfato y la reducción de la actividad cerebral después de estudiar tres grupos de personas: aquellos con COVID-19 prolongado que perdieron el sentido del olfato, aquellos cuyo olfato regresó después de recuperarse del virus y aquellos que nunca dieron positivo. La pérdida del olfato se convirtió en uno de los síntomas clave de la COVID-19 en los primeros meses de la pandemia, con una duración típica de una a dos semanas. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, los síntomas han durado mucho más y cualquier persistencia de más de 12 semanas se conoce como COVID-19 prolongado.

The two-time Cup champion didn’t even lead his first laps of the race until the start of second overtime. It was the 13th win for RCR at Talladega, and team owner Richard Childress entered the post-race news conference carrying an open bottle of champagne from his vineyard.But as the race headed toward additional laps, Busch’s crew chief made a late call for Busch to come in for some gas. The message was received too late and Busch had to save fuel just to ensure he could complete another two-lap sprint.Bubba Wallace surged past him into the lead from the outside line but was turned by Ryan Blaney to trigger a multi-car crash that automatically ended the race. “Sometimes...
