Washington DC [US], August 30 (ANI): A review paper published in the journal Foods describes a study that provides an overview of studies on minimally processed vegetables (MPVs), with a particular focus on the Brazilian market. Data is presented on hygiene indicators and pathogenic microorganisms, especially Escherichia coli (the main indicator of fecal contamination), Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes, with prevalence rates ranging from 0.7 per cent to 100 per cent, 0.6 per cent [...]

Sao Paulo [Brazil], July 4 (ANI): Regular physical exercise, such as resistance training, can help to prevent Alzheimer's disease or postpone the onset of symptoms, and it is a simple and inexpensive therapy for Alzheimer's patients. This is the conclusion of a paper published in Frontiers in Neuroscience by Brazilian researchers from the Federal University of S. Paulo (UNIFESP) and the University of S. Paulo (USP). Although most Alzheimer's patients and older individuals are [...]

Sau Paulo [Brazil], December 4 (ANI): Madagascar's nature is so unique that 82 per cent of its plant species and 90 per cent of its animals are endemic, found exclusively on the island off the coast of Southeast Africa.

Two studies published in the journal [...]

Washington [US], November 22 (ANI): Two recent papers by Brazilian researchers have added to the scientific understanding of the genetic factors that protect people from SARS-CoV-2 infection or prevent progression to severe COVID-19. The first describes the findings of a study involving a group of resilient older people aged 90 or more, while the second examines a case of severe COVID-19 in identical twins, only one of whom had long-term symptoms of the disease. Since 2020, researchers in [...]

Washington [US], September 15 (ANI): A group of researchers has made an important contribution to scientists' understanding of the brain's navigation system by identifying a subtype of these neurons that can gauge speed with great precision, more than a decade after the role of pyramidal neurons in mental representations of space and location was discovered. "In experiments involving animals, we demonstrated an association between the electrical activity of inhibitory [...]
