The bride and groom have always aspired to share their lives under the same roof. Until the Til and Latin Couples arrived

by

The schedule was very clear: a certain age one was looking for a relationship, lived a more or less long courtship and then (with a ‘yes I want’ through) The couple was going to live together. Today it is no longer about the bride and groom to cohabit before getting married (Many never do), but there are directly couples who do not even consider sharing. They do it starting from such a curious as challenging question for the fee: Do you have the love to bring yes or yes to coexistence? Is it true that ‘Casado, Casa wants’? What happened? Than couples They are changing. It is no novelty. Times change and with them society does, Demographybirth, labor opportunities, vital projects, the way of relating and concepts until not so much immovable as marriage or home. The INE is a good reflection of that transformation. Throughout the last years he has registered the increase of de facto couples and Unipersonal homesthe growing weight of those who They do not live With their ‘loves’ or The descent In the number of links, a phenomenon that arrives accompanied by a delay In weddings. Today the Spaniards married on average with 39.6 years. And the Spanish with 36.9. Three letters: Til. The term may not sound you, but reflects the reality of many Spanish relations (and other countries). Til are the acronym for Together in Life (“Together in life”), a label that serves to identify those couples that establish a mutual bond and commitment, form a common vital project, make future plans … but do not sleep under the same roof. The first is millimetrically adjusted to the traditional couple pattern. The second, no. Til couples break the fee in a fundamental aspect: coexistence. “The classic coexistence models are redefining and what a few decades ago could be seen as an exception, now socially accepted,” Explain Ana Domínguez, couples therapist, Welife. “Now they call it Til, but it is true that in consultation we see couples who, for different reasons, do not live together but maintain an affective bond and a deep level of commitment.” What characterizes them? The details may vary depending on the source that is consulted, but usually the TIL couples are characterized by two key features: the first is that their members do not share a roof; The second, that this lack of coexistence is not the result of a weaker level of commitment than those who wake up, eat and do their routine in the same house. In fact, often, the lack of prolonged coexistence is not even the result of a decision or a vital plan, but rather a ‘quo’ status established by couples to adapt to certain conditions or needs. And of course that lack of coexistence does not mean that the couple makes decisions for the team in team. “These types of couples do not choose non -coexistence as a permanent form, but assume it as a transitory or inevitable situation, maintaining a strong emotional connection, mutual support and joint planning of the future,” insists The expert. There is link and there is commitment, but there is a common roof. Different yes, simple no. Domínguez acknowledges that, as well as coexistence entails their challenges for couples, til relations face their own challenges, such as “the lack of shared daily life.” “Coexistence allows routines, small gestures and day to day, strengthens the connection. By not living together, those spontaneous moments are lost,” The therapist reflects. In fact, to compensate him encouraged to create rituals that can be kept at a distance. Of course, not everything is challenges. “When they are together, these couples spend quality time and are dedicated to enjoying each other without the disagreements of coexistence undergoing the relationship,” They point to The world From the Center for Psychology Mess Sana, which warns: “When this model of coexistence is not a free choice or born of fear and reserves, the relationship does not last long.” Another key term: Lat. To understand the phenomenon well we must become familiar with another concept: lat, acronym for Living Apart Together, “Living separate, but together.” The difference Between the til and lat relationships it is subtle and not all The definitions They draw it equally, but it is still important and above all it helps us to understand how relationships are being diversified. Both realities share a common feature, the lack of coexistence, but they differ in the vital approach of its members. There is who says That in Latin couples the commitment is more flexible, but its main characteristic is that the two parties live with an autonomy to which they do not consider renouncing. Without that, of course, suppose the couple having to break. Coexistence is simply not sought, even if there is nothing external that prevents it. “We look forward to it”. As an example is always understood that a definition is good to take an eye to the report What a few weeks ago dedicated The Sydney Morning Herald To Latin Couples, relations formed by people who have decided that a romance does not have to derive yes or yes in coexistence. Among others, its author chatted with Judy Wolff and Alex Ruschanov, who have been without cohabitation for about three decades, except in the occasions in which they have had to take care of each other by convalescences. “Every time we meet is like an event. It’s something we expect with illusion and something beautiful.” Both are around 70 years. She is a retired library. He a former merchant who shortly before knowing her, about 30 years ago, has just divorced and lived with two children who still went to school. “I remember telling Alex: ‘Look, you’re dating with me, not with my children.’ I wanted that to be apart,” He tells him. She had also shared a roof with an ex -partner for more than a decade, an experience that came out without wanting to repeat. Love = coexistence? That is … Read more

has integrated it into its new induction plate

by

Open kitchens have conquered many European homes: less cabinets, large islands, spaces without barriers. But cooking in these environments is not always as idyllic as it seems. Traditional bellswith their constant noise, they force the volume of the voice and to live with a large apparatus suspended on the work table. That vision contrasts with the warm and orderly environment that some seek. Samsung has devised a different alternative. The extraction ceases to be on your head to integrate directly into the plate, capturing the smoke rings. An idea that, it is promised, combines aesthetics and functionality so that open kitchen is a place where everything flows, without visual or sound interruptions. When the extractor hides in the countertop and the kitchen breathes The South Korean company will present in the IFA 2025 one of its most interesting bets in integration appliances: An induction plate with “bell” built -in. The Turbo fan, hidden inside the surface itself, extracts the air through a duct that is installed under or behind the countertop. In this way, the fumes and smells will be eliminated at the same point where they are generated, without the need for visible structures on the work area. As we point out above, it is designed for open kitchens and spaces that seek visual continuity. Eta solution avoids adding unnecessary volume and makes the countertop into the protagonist. Flex Zone Plus is one of the keys to this proposal. By incorporating four coils in each areathe plate allows you to use small containers to large casseroles, with uniform heat on the entire cooking surface. It has been manufactured with “scratch -resistant” materials and an antihuellas coating. The integration of extraction into the plaque itself reinforces that idea of ​​continuity. With this approach, the upper cabinets disappear from the scene and the central countertop wins prominence, creating an environment more similar to that of a modern cafeteria. It can occur as a step forward towards open kitchens that do not compromise the design or experience of those who cook. This plate adds to Bespoke philosophy, the Samsung line focused on integrating design and technology into appliances that land in households with style. It is not just that the products mimicate with the furniture: they also incorporate advanced functions, as demonstrated by the Bespoke Ai Laundry Combo, that even allows you to call calls. Samsung raises this plate as a flexible solution: it can be installed with recirculation system or by extraction, depending on the distribution of the kitchen. This versatility is compatible with island designs, although in some cases specific accessories will be needed. Therefore, the company recommends consulting distributors previously to guarantee the correct installation. It can be installed with recirculation system or by extraction. Although the concept is promising, there are still many details to be confirmed. Samsung has not facilitated specific data on the extraction flow, noise levels or the exact measures of the plate. Nor is the final price known beyond that its launch is planned in the First semester of 2026. IFA 2025, which will be held in Berlin from September 5 to 9, will serve as a showcase to know its performance first hand. Until then, the product is presented as a commitment to integrate advanced technology in the kitchen without breaking the aesthetics of space. What Samsung poses goes beyond a new appliance: it is a vision of the kitchen as a fluid and orderly space, where each element fulfills its function without highlighting more than necessary. Total integration becomes a design argument and a practical advantage. Images | Samsung In Xataka | The supreme clarifies all doubts about placing gunshot with camera at home.

A certificate that converts any car into a luxury

by

In the city-state of Singapore, it is not uncommon that A Toyota Yaris Cross comes out for more than 120,000 euros. And it is that at the purchase of the car you have to add a certificate to circulate through its streets that It has become a luxury object. This certificate can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and it is mandatory to go through the hoop if we want to drive our own car through its streets. The most restrictive system in the world. Since 1990, Singapore forces its citizens to acquire a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) Before you can buy any vehicle. This certificate, which is obtained for auction every fifteen days, can reach 100,000 euros for vehicles with more than 1,600 cubic centimeters or 130 hp of power. The little ones require a certificate of about 72,000 euros. With this, the government intends to keep the car park below 950,000 vehicles throughout the country.

20 euros for the most anticipated game of the year

by

With ‘Silksong‘We have gone through all phases, if not the duel, yes of the excessive expectation before the launch of one of the most commented titles of the year: six years after its announcement, we have lived the illusion, denial, we have converted it In a memewe have regained hope, and finally, in the Gamescom We receive the news that There was date: September 4. And it was only the first of the two major news related to the sequel to ‘Hollow Knight’. 20 euros of the wing. Team Cherry, knowing that he had one of the most anticipated titles of 2025, could have risen to the parra and ask for a higher price for his game. But no: fans have gone mad to knowing that The game will cost only 19.99 euros. And it is not an intelligent commercial play, but after seeing how fans spent months talking about the high precious of the AAA Games, it is a declaration of intentions. Why not pass. The decision to maintain ‘Silksong’ in 20 euros reflects a development and marketing philosophy that prioritizes access to the game of the greatest possible number of players about the immediate maximization of benefits. This approach is not new in the indie world, but it is remarkable for the magnitude of the expectations deposited in this sequel. 20 euros is a usual price in independent productions, but the honesty of maintaining low cost can generate a very interesting expansive wave in the industry. It is not the only one. We must not go to the productions made by three people, such as ‘Silksong’, to find cheaper games than usual. The French ‘Clair Oscur: Expedition 33‘, Without a doubt, one of the most acclaimed games of the year, and with an overproduction finish, it went on the market around 50 euros. And China has twisted the usual prices with its last success, ‘Wuchang: Fallen feathersr‘, which arrived at stores last week also around 50 euros. We do not speak in these cases of high profile games like a ‘Call of Duty‘or a’Assassin’s Creed‘, But of international games and very high sales (‘ Clair Osccur ‘reached 3.3 million copies in 33 days, and some analysts estimate some Total sales around 8). In the case of ‘Wuchang’ that price brushing the unusual for a production of that caliber has a lot to do with the intentions of Chinese studies to break the international market in the international market, but commercial strategy or not, it is still remarkable: it is clear that it can be done. With this perspective, it is clear that planting 80 euros from PVP to a game can begin to be received as an excess. Indie world. At this point, say that a good part of the best games that come out every year are Indies, there is nothing provocative: you just have to have eyes on your face. Digital stores are full of games already considered masterpieces (‘Celeste’, ‘Cuphead’, ‘Dead Cells’ …) around 20 euros. ‘Balatro‘, the game sensation last year, costs 14 euros. ‘Blue Prince‘, The best puzzle of recent years, 24.’ Vampire Survivors’, my personal favorite of recent times, just five. And the list is endless. The two recent deliveries of ‘Shinobi’ and ‘Ninja Gaiden’, for example, sensational independent cutting games, move in circles that in no case exceed 30 euros and are two of the most commented and praised games of the moment. ‘Silksong’ rides this wave that gradually introduces a viral thought in the heads of the players: cheap does not equals bad, expensive does not equivalent to good. Once the contrary! Nintendo, now what. The panic seized the players a few months ago when Nintendo announced the exorbitant price of His new ‘Mario Kart’, 90 euros. His ambition did not seem to have limits: even for a title that looked like a technical demo of switch 2 like ‘WELCOME TOUR‘I demanded to go through a box (in exchange for a small price, yes, but the comparison with the free’Astro’s Playroom‘PS5 was flagrant -for the same way: Astro Bot’s complete adventure cost less than 60 euros). Thus began the rumor that the price close to 100 euros for the next AAA was inevitable. And that rumor has not been extinguished: with ‘GTA 6 ‘on the horizon It is inevitable to think that Rockstar can exceed the feared psychological border of the three figures. With ‘Silksong’ to twenty euros we would not talk about a brutal pricing contrast. We would be speaking, almost, of means that circulate at two different (financial) speeds.

Billing record, dismissal avalanche

by

The Spanish video game sector exceeded 2,400 million euros in turnover in 2024. A historical record that hides a bitter reality: mass layoffs, emblematic studies closures and the first sector strike in history. The panoramic. Spain is the third European market and one of the ten World Cups. More than 22 million people play 75 minutes average and revenues grew 3%. But the industry is fractured: multinationals with record benefits while national studies fall into chain. Between bambalins. The closure of Tequila Works and Novaramatwo of the most emblematic studies in Spain, has been only the tip of the iceberg. The list continues to grow every month. The pattern is repeated: foreign multinationals buy Spanish studies promising growth and stability, and then close or jibarize their templates when business priorities change. The backdrop. Pandemia created a bubble of unreal expectations. The consumption of video games shot 75% during confinement, and that attracted huge investments that expected perpetual growth. But when the world returned to normal, the demand stabilized. By then, business structures had grown excessively. Investors have retired almost 20% in the last two years and large technological ones have responded with mass dismissals: Xbox and PlayStation They accumulate thousands of layoffs this year. Electronic Arts, a almost 700. Globally, more than 14,000 Workers lost their employment in 2024. In 2025 the account continues. Yes, but. The sector continues to generate opportunities. Scopely has opened a HUB In Barcelona With 700 employees. Electronic Arts announced last year The creation of 600 positions in Madrid. The most agile small studies find profitable niches. But these exceptions do not compensate the general bleeding: More than half of Spanish studies invoice less than 200,000 euros per year. The threat. The AI ​​looms over the sector. King used his own workers to create an AI tool that designs levels, as they said The countryand now that same tool replaces them. Microsoft has made it clear that AI will be its “new great mission”, justifying 9,000 layoffs despite achieving record benefits. The workers from Asian countries charge half that Europeans. IA tools promise to reduce development costs by 40%. Investment funds require immediate profitability, not long -term creative projects. What is being said. “It is a crisis with capital letters,” acknowledges the Spanish Association of Developing Companies in a report of eldiario.es. The CSVI union It is more direct: “Our main work is now to accompany in all you are that are being produced.” Workers denounce a systematic pattern of “buying, squeezeing and throwing” by multinationals. The industry claims tax incentives similar to those of the audiovisual sector, which in other European countries reach 30%. Without them, they warn, Spain will lose competitiveness against France, Germany or the United Kingdom, which are already attracting investments with better conditions. Decisive moment. The Spanish video game industry is located at a crossroads. Or it reinvents itself with a more sustainable model that protects local talent and creativity, or will be reduced by cheap labor for multinationals that can close the tap at any time.

Breaking a bad habit is difficult, but not impossible. The key is to make your brain hate it

by

Habits have a very important role in daily life. In fact, as indicated in the book ‘Emotional Intelligence: Good habits‘ Harvard Business Review, approximately half of our daily actions are based on habits that we repeat without just realizing. However, the same mechanism that anchors good habits, also explains why changing a bad habit may seem like a task almost impossible. It is not only willpower, but to understand how our brain works and how habits are anchored in it. Why do we adopt bad habits? We know that leading a sedentary life is not healthy, that navigating Tiktok video video until many in the morning Take takes the next day and that smoking seriously harms our health. However, such and As explained to Harvard Business Review Judson Brewer, neuroscientist and author of the book ‘Undo the anxiety‘, we cannot avoid falling into any of these negative habits, and eliminating them is very uphill. According to Brewer, the environment in which we live is designed to bombard us with stimuli that reinforce those habits, especially negatives. The rewards that our brain receives when performing certain behaviors alter our Reward -based learning systemso a pattern difficult to break is created. “Every time we try to disconnect from an exhausting task (with social networks), we reinforce the reward, to the point that harmful distractions can become habits.” However, although it is not a simple process, research carried out by Brewer demonstrate that it is possible to change the bad habits definitively. Understanding the response mechanism that articulates them gives us the tools to achieve it. Bad habits have their origin in the way our brain learns through an immediate rewards system (yes, as in Animal training). These behavioral patterns arise because they reinforce the feeling of pleasure or relief quickly. This rewards system implies a trigger (hunger sensation), followed by behavior (eating) and a reward (feel satiated). “These three components (trigger, behavior and reward) appear every time we smoke a cigarette or eat a cake,” says the neuroscientist. Detect the origin of bad habit Bad habits are not eliminated, they are only replaced by good habits. Therefore, one of the important steps of the process to get rid of them is to find the trigger that generates the action to seek the reward. “Once you know your triggers, try to identify the behaviors you make when these bad habits occur. Do you look at social networks instead of working? Do you eat sweets during difficult tasks? You should be able to identify the actions to which you resort to feel comfortable or quiet before you can evaluate your reward value.” For this reason, the neuroscientist ensures that knowing the scenario in which activation occurs and what action is carried out to obtain the reward is one of the key points so that it is easier to eliminate bad habits. For example, eating sweets would be the search for reward that is activated by a situation of stress or anxiety, and sugar rush reward. Avoid or learn to manage the stress situation It is the first step to subtract weight from sugar reward. The key: break the reward chain According to studies of the University of Utrecht (Netherlands), self -control alone is not enough to eliminate a habit, since the brain associates that behavior with a reward that temporarily cancels rational thinking. No smoker will tell you that tobacco It is beneficial for healthbut even so smokes. A fundamental step to break with a bad habit is to reduce or eliminate the reward that the brain receives. That implies not only changing the behavior itself, but also the context that activates it and the associated sensations. Modifying those three elements: detonating, behavior and reward, it is basic for the brain to stop finding satisfaction in that behavior and abandons the need to carry it out. Brewer’s investigations have revealed that an effective way to face bad habits is to replace them with behaviors that offer similar, but positive health or well -being rewards. One of the techniques that Brewer has used with his patients full care training to teach the brain that this behavior is not only benefits, but also represents something unpleasant or even harmfulcausing him to hate him and not look for him anymore. The neuroscientist said that, when someone joined his program to quit smoking, the first thing he asked is to pay attention while smokeing: to the smell, the environment, to the sensation when smoking, etc. The objective of this exercise is that patients become aware of the “value of the reward” and if this value, which probably had positive connotations (social acceptance, etc.), still remains. Studies From the University of Bethesda they have shown that if that reward is no longer appreciated as it used to be, it is less likely that the brain will claim it and, with it, it will be easier to get rid of that bad habit. This can be applied to any other habit that the past may have a positive connotation, but has already been diluted. According to Brewer, an important factor is in question what gives you that bad habit before consuming it and analyzing how you feel before, during and after the process from a critical point of view, instead of simply having a reactive behavior of repentance after having obtained the reward. “Your behaviors may not change immediately, but persevere. If you manage to control your mind with our methods, over time you can free yourself from unwanted habits and see how your cravings disappear with peace of mind,” said the neuroscientist.

Scale AI investment has put the two ‘goals’ at war

by

In June, he invested 14.3 billion dollars in Scale AI and for the walked signed his CEO, Alexandr Wang. He made him an owner and lord of his brand new Superintelligence Division, in addition to surrounding him with a team of engineers With salaries of elite athletes. The movements have been so exaggerated and convulsive that they are having important side effects. The 100 million club. Mark Zuckerberg He shook the foundations of the AI ​​industry in early June, when he began to rob their rivals the best AI engineers. He offered them Salaries of hundreds of millions of dollars And soon companies like OpenAi confirmed that Someone had “cast at home”. The signings of high -level managers, such as Nat Friedman (Exceo de Github) or Daniel Gross (co -founder of Safe Superintelligence with Ilya Sutskever) confirmed that series of unusual movements. Sudden resignations. Among the signings was Ruben Mayer, who had already worked with Wang in Scale AI. Two months later Mayer has left the company, According to nearby sources. The executive worked five years in Scale AI, but soon discovered that he was going to work in an area outside the development unit of the Superintelligence Model. He has claimed that he was “very happy” with his experience in goal, but has decided to leave the company “for a personal matter.” He has not been the only one to take that step. The two “Goals”. That resignation is joined by others that occurred in recent weeks. According to Wiredat least three researchers have abandoned the company. Two of them returned to Openai, where they had previously worked, while the third, Rishabh Agawal, has not made clear Your destiny. The huge changes that the team has undergone has made adaptation to the new situation difficult. The two “goals” – before the signings and the one now – are having problems to get perfectly. But there is even more. Scale Ai Flaquea. The team that is working on the development of the superintelligence, called TBD Labs, is in turn collaborating with data labeling companies such as Mercor and arises, which are in turn competing of Scale AI. It is something strange considering that goal had already invested billions of dollars in it – although there was no talk In that agreement of exclusivities—, but sources close to the company indicate In TechCrunch That the quality of Scale AI labeling is low and prefer to work with these two firms. The situation of the company co -founded by Wang has changed. After the agreement with Meta, both Openai and Google indicated that they would stop working with her. Shortly after Scale ai He said goodbye 200 of its employees, although the new CEO, Jason Droge said they would compensate with hiring in other areas of the company. Much mess and a restructuring. Having signed all that talent has its good part, but it also has can complicate the goal organization chart. It is what seems to have happened according to all these data, and in fact target announced internally A restructuring of all that division. Four different subdivisions have been created, which will be led by Wang. Other senior managers will report to it, but those movements also caused some finishing employees before the “galactic signings” have ended up leaving the company to go to firms such as OpenAi, Cohere or Figma. Of the open to a closed model. The arrival of Wang has coincided with an apparent change of approach, they pointed out In nyt. Although goal was a pioneer to bet on ia open source models as callthe company seems to be exploring now other possibilities. For example, those of using third -party AI models on their platforms —Chatgpt in WhatsApp? – or even license “closed” models of other companies. But beyond that, the company is valuing to work In a closed model as their main rivals are doing in the AI ​​segment in the US. OpenAi, Google or Anthropic precisely adopted that strategy from the beginning, and it seems that in the finish line they want to have their own alternative.

Windows 10 is one step away from running out of support. Almost half of the world’s computers continue to trust him, even more

by

In just over 40 days, Windows 10 will stop receiving patches and security updates. Microsoft will thus mark the end of support for an operating system that still Almost half of the global market dominates (In Spain, 54%). Windows 11 It has been in the market for several years, but the change has been slower than expected. The countdown is still underway And millions of users apparently have not yet decided how to face the jump before October arrives, although those willing to pay may keep it with extra support. What real options now has the standard user The end of support does not mean that your computer stops working, but it is more exposed. Microsoft offers three main outputs: Make the leap to Windows 11. If your PC has the necessary hardware, the update is free and guarantees updates and new functions. The equipment that does not meet requirements will have to be renewed to continue protected. Pay for extended updates (ESU). With this plan they continue to receive security patches paying an annual fee. It is designed to win margin, not to stay indefinitely in Windows 10. Keep Windows 10 or explore alternatives. Install Linux or using the system without support in controlled environments is possible, but requires assuming risks and planning in the medium term. Compare the situation of Windows 11 with that of its predecessors helps to understand if this slow change is an exception or simply history that is repeated. According to statistaat three years and ten months of life Windows 11 is around 49% of the global market. Windows 10, at that same age, had reached about 57%, and Windows 7 moved in even higher figures, around 61%. At the opposite end, Windows 8.1 barely reached 10%, a reflection of his warm welcome. These data draw a clear pattern: Windows 11 progresses more slowly than its successful predecessors, but leads widely against Windows 10. Everything indicates that the hardware barrier, which leaves millions of old teams out, explains a good part of this rhythm. It is not that users resist by custom, but that the jump to the new generation implies more effort than ever, and that shows in global and European figures. The slow advance of Windows 11 is better understood when looking at the requirements imposed: TPM 2.0 and a closed list of processors leave out millions of computers that were runnings 10 without problems before. For many users, update implies renewing the equipment, and that slows the transition. There are unofficial methods to install Windows 11 on non -compatible PC, But doing so entails risks. The result is a slower adoption and a Windows 10 that is still very alive at the doors of its end. Microsoft Operating Systems Market share at a global level Europe and Spain advance to another rhythm. While the global average shows that Windows 11 is already present in almost half of the teams, in the old continent Windows 10 maintains more than 53% quota and Windows 11 is around 43.9%. Spain follows that same pattern (54% in Windows 10 and 42.61% in Windows 11), with practically traced figures. ANDThe result is a photograph other than the global: Here the version jump progresses more slowly and Windows 10 is still the protagonist at the doors of its support end. Microsoft operating systems market share in Spain Update resistance is not unpublished either, although the current context has nuances. Windows 7 reached its support end in January 2020 with a still significant presence, around 27% of the global market, but already surpassed long by Windows 10. Today the situation is different: Windows 11 leads, but Windows 10 retains almost half of the teams, just over a month of running out of patches and official support.

Science puts the beta blockers in certain cases

by

In the late 50s, Sir James Black Cardiovascular therapy revolutionized With your new treatment: beta blockers. A medication that has been the immovable pillar in current medicine for patients with an acute myocardial infarction in their history. But now, A series of studies They have arrived to change the idea we had about the administration of this treatment. A group of patients more affection. Studies published in the most prestigious medical magazines, such as The New EnglandThey arrive to draw a much more complex and personalized panorama of treatment administration. And he has reached such an extent that he suggests that for some people with a very specific clinical profile, and especially in women, their administration may not be necessary. Why are the beta blockers. To understand the magnitude of this change, you have to travel in time. The studies that cemented the use of beta blockers were carried out in the 80s, a very different era for cardiology. At that time, a heart attack was much less aggressive. There were no urgent angioplasties with stents to open obstructed arteries, nor the general use of High power statins either antiplatelet therapies dual In that context, the beta blockers demonstrated reduce mortality by an impressive 23%. A question in the air. Today, the standard treatment of a heart attack is radically different and much more effective. The question that floated in the air for years was: in this new era, are they still the universally necessary beta blockers, especially for those patients whose heart has not been seriously damaged? A concept that is key. To understand the great advance that has been made, you have to know what the left ventricular ejection fraction (FEVI). You can think like the “power percentage” that the heart has to expel the blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and by entity towards the coronary vessels of the heart. In this way, there are two scenarios right now on the table: Patient with a reduced fevi (≤40%): the heart has been weakened. In this group, no one doubts the benefit of the beta blockers since the evidence is solid. Patient with a non -reduced FEVI (> 40%): The heart maintains a good pumping force after infarction. It is here that the great debate has emerged around whether it is necessary to apply or not beta blockers so that they have a beneficial effect. THE REBOOT TEST. The first great protagonist of this new story is the reboot essaya massive study conducted in Spain and Italy with more than 8,500 patients. All participants had suffered an acute myocardial infarction, but had a FEVI greater than 40%. Half of these received beta blockers and the other half not. After a follow -up of 3.7 years, the results were overwhelming: there was no statistically significant difference between the two study groups. The Beta blocker group had an event rate of 22.5 per 1000 patients-year, compared to 21.7 in the group without them. Statistically, a technical draw. Beta blocker effect on women. Reboot analysis by sexwhich included 1,627 women, revealed a significant interaction. In men, the beta blockers showed neither benefit or harm. The event rate was practically identical, with or without treatment. In women, the result was radically different. Those who took beta blockers had a relative risk of 45% greater to suffer the main combined event with which they did not take them. Concentrated in two groups. This excess risk in women was mainly driven by an increase in mortality due to any cause. The study also discovered that this potential damage was concentrated in two subgroups: women with FIVI preserved (≥50%) and women who received higher doses of beta blockers. The researchers suggest that there could be pharmacokinetic reasons behind this. At equivalent doses, women tend to reach higher concentrations of the drug in blood due to physiological differences such as lower body weight and different metabolism. This could lead to adverse effects not seen in men with the same doses. Although it is something that will have to continue deepening. Studies that are opposite. The grace of science is that opposite results can be found on the same topic. And just when the reboot result seemed to sentence the debate, the results of the twin trials were published Betami and Danblock made in Norway and Denmark with almost 5,600 participants. With a similar design (patients with IAM and FEVI ≥40%) their conclusions were different. In this case, the treatment with beta blockers did demonstrate a benefit, reducing the risk of the primary objective (a death combined, major cardiovascular events, unplanned revascularization, stroke …). The incidence was 14.2% in the group with beta blockers compared to 16.3% in the control group. When the data broken down, the main engine of this benefit was a significant reduction in the incidence of a new myocardial infarction: 5% vs. 6.7%. Interestingly, and in direct contrast with reboot’s findings, its subgroup analysis showed that the benefit seemed more pronounced in women. A meta -analysis to find the midpoint. We have two mass studies, well designed and with opposite results. How do we solve this apparent contradiction? For this we use the most powerful tool of scientific evidence: a meta -analysis of individual patient data. An international team, led by the researchers of the previous essays, decided to combine strength. They combined the data of reboot patients, Betami, Danblock and a fourth smallest study (capital-RCT) to focus on a very specific group: those with slightly reduced FEVI (between 40% and 49%). This is the “gray area”, patients who do not have seriously damaged heart, but not completely normal. A surprising result. When analyzing the 1,885 patients who fit in this profile, the conclusion was clear: in this subgroup, the beta blockers are beneficial. A 25% reduction was seen in the risk of having a heart attack, heart failure or dying. In addition, the Hazard Ratio (a risk measure) was 0.75, indicating a clear and statistically significant protective effect. Beta … Read more
