A major study by scientists has claimed that the Amazon rainforest could hit a tipping point by 2050 due to deforestation, water stress, and climate change. The study published in Nature on Wednesday claimed that 10–47 per cent of the forest would be exposed to compounding stressors by 2050.

Washington:  A study has found that artificial intelligence can diagnose autism spectrum disorder. The study was published in the journal, ‘Scientific Reports’. Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is still a daunting challenge because of the degree of complexity involved, requiring highly specialized professionals. Autism is a multifactorial neurodevelopment disorder with widely varying symptoms. The study was based on brain imaging data for 500 people, about [...]

Scientists have identified a form of exercise that can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. The new study carried out on mice led to the findings that regular resistance training can help prevent or at least delay the onset of symptoms for the age-related neurological condition. It could also lead to affordable therapies for people at risk of the disease. Although dementia patients are unlikely to go on long daily runs or perform other high-intensity aerobic exercises, [...]

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 [...]

Most cases of type 2 diabetes are caused by poor diet, with meat and bread – your barbecue basics – most at fault. This is the main finding of an investigation into what people were eating in 184 countries, and how many of them ended up with type 2 diabetes. The study used a research model developed by the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. Overall, the researchers estimate that in 2018, poor or a “sub-optimal” diet contributed [...]

New research has identified the three eating habits that contribute most to cases of type 2 diabetes. Obesity is one of the biggest driving factors for developing the blood sugar condition that impacts insulin levels. Now, poor diet has also been linked to the rising global number of cases. Analysis by scientists at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University examined dietary patterns of 184 countries, referring to data between 1990 and 2018 - and it's bad [...]

There are few places on Earth as isolated as Trindade island, a volcanic outcrop a three- to four-day boat trip off the coast of Brazil. So geologist Fernanda Avelar Santos was startled to find an unsettling sign of human impact on the otherwise untouched landscape: rocks formed from the glut of plastic pollution floating in the ocean. Santos first found the plastic rocks in 2019, when she traveled to the island to research her doctoral thesis on a completely different [...]

This icy rock beyond Neptune has a ring, and it's raising some questions. While an object the size of Spain drifts through the distant Solar System, astronomers watch it block faraway starlight to gather information. Recently, they found something exciting: this primordial chunk has a ring. This is a show-stopping feature of Saturn and other planets, but much smaller bodies have them too. A decade ago, this same team made the first-ever detection of a ring around an asteroid. The [...]

Rapid, low-cost, and accurate tests are still required for epidemiological surveillance and healthcare services to monitor and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Brazilian researchers have contributed to this field’s efforts by creating an electrochemical immunosensor that identifies antibodies against the virus. The innovation is described in an article published in the journal ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering. In search of a novel diagnostic method, the group opted for a [...]
