(CNN) — Tratar la pérdida de audición podría significar reducir el riesgo de demencia, según un nuevo estudio.La pérdida de audición puede aumentar el riesgo de padecer demencia, pero el uso de prótesis auditivas reduce el riesgo de forma similar al de las personas sin pérdida de audición, según el estudio publicado este jueves en The Lancet.Los investigadores realizaron un seguimiento a más de 437.000 personas de una cohorte del Biobanco del Reino Unido, una gran base de datos biomédica y de investigación que realiza un seguimiento a largo plazo de los residentes. Analizaron el riesgo de demencia de cada persona, el uso autodeclarado de prótesis auditivas y los historiales médicos para ver si la persona desarrollaba demencia, según el estudio.“Cada vez hay más pruebas de que la pérdida de audición puede ser el factor de riesgo modificable más importante de demencia en la mediana edad”, afirma en un comunicado Dongshan Zhu, autor del estudio y profesor de la Univer...Kraken won’t get André Burakovsky back for start of playoffs

The latest setback came recently after he was on the ice for practice in a red no-contact jersey. At the time of his injury, Burakovsky was Seattle’s leading scorer. He had 13 goals and 26 assists in 49 games prior to his injury. Burakovsky signed a five-year, $27.5 million deal with the Kraken last offseason after helping Colorado to a championship.Seattle will open the playoffs next week against either Dallas or Colorado, depending on the outcome ...Cincinnati brings shutout streak into matchup with Saint Louis City SC
