As well as causing significant damage to human health, air pollution also inhibits tree growth, one element that is very capable attenuate this typical urban environment problem. Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have it shows that atmospheric pollutants limit the growth of trees and ecosystems services provided by trees, such as filtering pollution by absorbing metal air on the skin, absorbs CO2, reduces heat effect of the island by depleting solar radiation, [...]

But what is the role of muscle training in the action of this abnormality in one of the most important and multifunctional organs of our body, the heart? This question motivates the research of Brazilian researchers from Unicamp (State University of Campinas) and USP (University of São Paulo) in partnership with colleagues from universities at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Harvard and Massachusetts, USA. This study was published this month in the international journal [...]

At present, this disease is the second leading cause of death in Brazil One third of deaths caused by 20 cancers in Brazil can be avoided by lifestyle changes. Smoking, alcohol consumption, being overweight, unhealthy eating patterns and lack of physical activity are risk factors associated with 114 thousand cases of disease (27% of the total) and 63 thousand deaths (34% of the total) per year in Brazil. Data, published in a journal Cancer Epidemiology, is part of a study carried out by [...]

Smoking, alcohol consumption, overweight, unhealthy eating and lack of physical activity were associated with a third of deaths caused by 20 typescancerin Brazil, according to a new study. Published in scientific journalsCancer Epidemiology, work shows that of the total annual tumor cases, at least 114,000 (27% of the total) will be avoided by a healthier lifestyle. And 63,000 lives (34% of the total) can be avoided. The data comes from investigations carried out by researchers from the [...]

Lice are hematophagic ectoparasites which feed on vertebrate blood. They are vectors of various types of microorganisms that cause diseases that attack horses, cows, dogs, cats and mice, and also humans. Cattle infestation (Rhipicephalus microplus) is an infectious disease that causes severe losses to livestock. The investigation, led by virologists from the Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine, from the University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP), in Brazil, expanded knowledge of the [...]

Astronomers in Brazil just have it published in & nbsp; Astronomical Journal evidence of a "giant Jupiter" planet in the distance and"exotic"the star system in the Milky Way. As well as having 13 times the mass of Jupiter, the extrasolar planet is the first to be discovered that orbits an older or more developed binary where one of the two stars dies. What are binary stars? Think of our solar system as "normal?" Think again. The most common type of star [...]

This disease shows slow growth and, when diagnosed earlier, has high potential to be cured A new study by researchers at the Cancer Center A.Camargo, University of São Paulo (USP) and the University of Trento, Italy, found an association between colorectal cancer and changes in the intestinal microbiota. By analyzing seven studies on subjects using software, specialists have reached 16 bacteria which can indicate the presence of disease in patients. The findings, published Monday in the [...]

Researchers from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, found a way to decontaminate organs destined for transplants thanks to a new method that uses light to kill viruses and bacteria from donors. According to specialists, biophoton therapy, as is known, must expand the choice of available organs and reduce complications after surgery. "At present, there is no decontamination of organs for transplantation, only blood draws, but microorganisms are still alive, either organs are removed or, [...]

Brazilian researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary history of amoeba and showed that at the end of the Precambrian period, at least 750 million years ago, life on Earth was far more diverse than suggested by classical theory. The study, supported by the São Paulo Research Foundation – FAPESP, revealed eight new ancestral lineages of Thecamoebae, the largest group in Amoebozoa. Thecamoebian is known as the testis because of its hard outer carapace or shell. The [...]
