(CNN) — Beyoncé dio el comienzo de su esperada gira mundial “Renaissance” en Suecia el miércoles por la noche y, como no podía ser de otra forma, fue una noche de numerosos cambios de ropa. También fue una noche de (casi tantos) bodys personalizados.Había uno plateado de Courrèges con un corte circular tornasolado en el centro; uno brillante de Alexander McQueen que se abría elegantemente en las caderas; y uno de Balmain bordado con una intrincada red de perlas.Sin embargo, el body que más ha dado que hablar en Internet ha sido el de la firma española Loewe.Dos de las “manos” subían por las piernas de la estrella, otras dos cubrían partes más íntimas de su cuerpo y dos descansaban sobre su parte trasera (como se vio cuando la cantante se puso de espaldas al público durante una interpretación de “Drunk in Love”). Completaba el look con un par de guantes de látex de goma negros a juego con sus propios juegos de uñas rojas.“Ese body de Loewe qu...

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — Inside the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, Dr. Roland Flores is no stranger to asking patients tough questions. As an anesthesiologist, Flores needs to know everything he can about each patient, as he prepares a mix of drugs to put them to sleep for surgery.

He said patients who use marijuana also require more medication after surgery to remain comfortable. Doctors recommended to ask about cannabis useThe reas...
