Dinosaurs' hollow bones that made them giants evolved independently at least three times: Research
Publicado em 08 março 2023
Washington [US], March 8 (ANI): Dinosaurs as big as buses or five-story buildings would not be possible if their bones were dense and heavy like ours. Like present-day birds, dinosaurs had hollow bones with inner structures known as air sacs, which made their skeletons lighter and less dense.
These structures were apparently so advantageous that they emerged at least three times during the evolution of dinosaurs and pterosaurs (flying reptiles), according to a study supported by FAPESP and [...]

Research explores how exercise preserves physical fitness during aging
Publicado em 06 janeiro 2023Washington [US], January 6 (ANI): Exercise may be the most powerful anti-aging intervention known to science and has been proven to protect against a wide array of diseases. However, while physical activity can improve health during aging, its beneficial effects inevitably decline. The cellular mechanisms underlying the relationship between exercise, fitness, and aging remain poorly understood. In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at [...]ver notícia -
Study: Novel coronavirus manipulates cells to replicate
Publicado em 19 julho 2022Sau Paulo [Brazil], July 19 (ANI): An article published in the journal 'Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology' describes a study conducted by researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the University of So Paulo (USP) in Brazil that demonstrates how a human protein interacts with a SARS-CoV-2 protein, as well as one of the ways the virus that causes COVID-19 recruits cells to replicate. In laboratory tests, the researchers used a drug to inhibit the [...]ver notícia -
SARS-CoV-2 may remain active for longer than recommended quarantine period: Study
Publicado em 30 janeiro 2022Washington [US], January 30 (ANI): SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can infect a person for more than 200 days in an atypical case, a recent study has detected. The study has been published in the 'Frontiers in Medicine Journal'. The atypical case of infection by SARS-CoV-2 was part of a study involving 38 Brazilian patients followed on a weekly basis between April and November 2020 by researchers affiliated with the Pasteur-USP Scientific Platform, a partnership [...]ver notícia -

Study finds prevention of mental health problems among schoolchildren could avoid dropout
Publicado em 24 janeiro 2022Brasilia [Brazil], January 24 (ANI): The impact of mental health on a child's education and schooling was never taken seriously in this day and age of ruthless and cut-throat competition. At least ten out of every 100 girls older than the appropriate age for their school grade could have accompanied their age group if mental health problems were prevented or treated. New findings from an innovative survey led by a group of Brazilian and British scientists and reported in an article [...]ver notícia -
Respiratory disorders among obese can be detected early by cardiopulmonary exercise testing: Study
Publicado em 07 novembro 2021Santos (Sao Paulo) [Brazil], November 6 (ANI): A new study has found that cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be used for the early detection of respiratory disorders in overweight and obese individuals. This is the main finding of a study by Brazilian researchers who set out to assess the influence of obesity on the physiological responses obtained in CPET. The findings of the study were published in the journal 'PLOS ONE'. Most of the authors are researchers in the [...]ver notícia -
Respiratory disorders among obese can be detected early by cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Publicado em 05 novembro 2021Santos (Sao Paulo) [Brazil], November 5 (ANI): The findings of a new study suggest that cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), also known as ergo spirometry, can be used for the early detection of respiratory disorders in overweight and obese individuals. This is the main finding of a study by Brazilian researchers who set out to assess the influence of obesity on the physiological responses obtained in CPET. The findings of the study were published in the journal 'PLOS ONE'. Most [...]ver notícia -
Older people with weak muscles at mobility risk
Publicado em 12 setembro 2021Brasilia [Brazil], September 11 (ANI): A recent study led by a team of international researchers revealed that the dangerous combination of weak muscles and abdominal fat can lead to a significant loss of gait speed in older people. Older people with abdominal fat, weak muscles have a risk of developing mobility problems, according to a recent study led by a team of international researchers. The findings of the study published in the journal 'Age and Ageing', was conducted by [...]ver notícia -
