Girl dies after trip to the dentist
A 9-year-old girl in California died hours after being placed under general anesthesia to undergo oral surgery, officials said.
Silvanna Moreno died hours after the oral procedure, which was performed under anesthesia at Dreamtime Dentistry in Vista, California, on March 18, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“She was the sunshine in every room she entered, always greeting staff and classmates with a big smile and an even bigger hug,” a GoFundMe organizer wrote. “Her friends described her as kind, caring, and always happy, a true friend to everyone she met.”

Dreamtime Dentisty, in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, said that Morena was referred to their office for dental treatment under general anesthesia “due to her young age and situational anxiety.”
“Throughout the procedure, she was continuously monitored by our dentist anesthesiologist, who is a Diplomate of the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology as well as a Fellow in Anesthesiology from [the] American Dental Society of Anesthesiology and [an] active member of the American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists who has over 20 years of experience successfully administering general anesthesia on children, with no complications observed,” the statement by Dr. Ryan Watkins said.

Following the procedure, the dentist’s office said that she was discharged in stable condition. They noted that when she awoke and was checked for stable vital signs, she was released into her mother’s care.
The medical examiner’s office said that Moreno, on the way home, fell back asleep and was transitioned into her bed at home. Her family checked on her throughout the day and later found her unresponsive in bed.

A former Portland Trail Blazers player is taking his best shot at being the next governor of Oregon.
Chris Dudley, a Republican and 16-year NBA veteran, announced his candidacy for the role in a video posted online.
“I love Oregon, and even though we have some serious problems, there are solutions and I believe our best days are ahead of us,” he said in the video.

“However, in order to solve these challenges, the empty promises, the name calling, finger pointing and fear mongering that has solved nothing must stop. You deserve better.”
Dudley spent six of his 16 NBA seasons in Portland as the team’s center.
Dudley, who was born in Connecticut and went to high school in San Diego, California, played in Portland from 1993-97 before returning for the 2001-02 season. He played his final two seasons with the Trail Blazers before retirement.
Dudley came within less than two percentage points of becoming Oregon’s governor in 2010, falling to then-incumbent Democrat John Kitzhaber, 49.3% to 47.8%.

He joins a field now of 14 Republicans who have all announced they will be running to defeat current Gov. Tina Kotek. Kotek and five other Democrats also announced they are running.
The Oregon primary election is set for May 19.
Dudley began his NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who selected him in the fourth round of the 1987 NBA Draft. He played parts of three seasons there before a trade to the New Jersey Nets.

A young mountain lion that was spotted Monday night in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood has been located, city officials said.
Around 6:20 a.m. Tuesday, city officials said San Francisco Animal Care and Control found the mountain lion and that they are working with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to manage the situation. No injuries were reported.
A biologist is on their way to the scene, with the plan to tranquilize the animal and move it to a suitable location, officials said.
The mountain lion was first reported Monday night after being seen near Octavia Street and Pacific Avenue, according to an alert from the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management.
Animal Care and Control officials said experts believe the animal is about a year old. It had also been seen earlier Monday morning near Lafayette Park, just a few blocks from the later sighting.
City officials said the mountain lion was likely lost and may have been trying to move south out of the city.
