New Delhi, Jun 18 (PTI) Unusually higher levels of grey matter in foetuses during the first trimester of pregnancy could signal severe autism, marked by lifelong difficulties in social and cognitive skills and possibly not being able to speak, according to a new study. Researchers said that the biological basis differentiating mild and severe (or profound) autism in children develops in the first weeks and months in their embryo stages, which immediately follows conception. The most [...]

Sao Paulo [Brazil], February 17 (ANI): Brazilian researchers described the case of a nine-year-old boy admitted to the hospital with multiple symptoms and overlapping conditions that made diagnosis difficult, including short stature, thin tooth enamel (dental enamel hypoplasia), moderate mental deficiency, speech delay, asthma, mildly altered blood sugar, and a history of recurring infections in infancy. The article was published in the Journal of Pediatrics. The scientists searched for [...]

Washington: Artificial intelligence can make a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, reveals ' Scientific Reports ' a journal that published a study. Due to the intricacy of the condition, diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) still presents a difficult issue that calls for highly qualified clinicians. Multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorder autism has a wide range of symptoms. The study was based on brain imaging data for 500 people, about half of whom (242) had been [...]

New Delhi: Researchers have analysed microRNAs in extracellular vesicles (EVs), produced by most cells in the body including neurons and other nervous system cells, and found them to be associated with mental health disorders. The study by researchers at the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil is published in the journal Translational Psychiatry. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small transcripts that target messenger RNAs and regulate the expression of several genes at once. They can [...]

New Delhi, April 18 - Poor diet contributed to over 14.1 million cases of type 2 diabetes in 2018, representing over 70 per cent of new diagnoses globally, according to a study. Of the 30 most populated countries studied, India, Nigeria, and Ethiopia had the fewest case of type 2 diabetes related to unhealthy eating, the researchers said. The analysis, published in the journal Nature Medicine, looked at data from 1990 and 2018, providing valuable insight into which dietary factors are [...]

A study has found that poor diet has contributed to over 14.1 million cases of type 2 diabetes. The study was published in the journal, 'Nature Medicine.' The analysis, which looked at data from 1990 and 2018, provides valuable insight into which dietary factors are driving type 2 diabetes burden by world region. Of the 11 dietary factors considered, three had an outsized contribution to the rising global incidence of type 2 diabetes: Insufficient intake of whole grains, [...]

Sau Paulo: An electrochemical sensor that can identify Parkinson's disease at various stages has been created by researchers at the Federal University of So Carlos (UFSCar) and the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil. The gadget was created using a standard 3D printer and showed early disease detection capabilities, serving as a model for the detection of other diseases, according to the study. Findings in the journal published in the journal Sensors and Actuators B: [...]

The findings are published in the journal Language Resources and Evaluation. While there are multiple studies involving natural language processing (NLP) focussed on depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder, most of these analysed English texts and did not match Brazilians' profiles, the researchers said. The first step in this study involved constructing a database, called SetembroBR, of information relating to a corpus of 47 million publicly posted Portuguese texts and the network [...]
