This cellular reprogramming creates a disorder the authors call post-sepsis syndrome, whose symptoms include frequent reinfections, cardiovascular alterations, cognitive disabilities, declining physical functions, and poor quality of life. The phenomenon explains why so many patients who survive sepsis die [...]

Study may help develop effective biosensors for non-invasive diagnosis of prostate cancer
Publicado em 23 março 2021The efficacy of biosensors used in clinical tests depends critically on the surface of the device on which the biorecognition molecules are immobilized. This surface can be adjusted and sometimes controlled using self-assembled molecular monolayers as matrices. The monolayers are films made up of organic molecules that under the right conditions assemble spontaneously on metal surfaces via chemical bonds between the sulfur atoms and the metal. A study conducted at the University of São [...]ver notícia -
Study evaluates guidelines for exercise for high blood pressure patients
Publicado em 24 setembro 2020Researchers in the University of São Paulo’s School of Physical Education and Sports (EEFE-USP) in Brazil compared the effect of two widely used classes of anti-hypertensive drugs on post-exercise hypotension, an expected and beneficial fall in blood pressure after a session of aerobic exercise, especially in the late afternoon or early evening. According to the researchers, the findings of their study can help health professionals choose the most beneficial time of day for [...]ver notícia
