A new study claims to have documented the ''first'' case of an ultrasonic 'distress call' made by a Brazilian frog species' for self-defence. While humans would be incapable of hearing this scream, researchers said the distress call had an ''ear-piercing intensity'' for many animals, including predators of amphibians such as bats, rodents and small primates -- all of which can emit and hear sounds in the ultrasonic range. The research team [...]

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 DC [US], November 10 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil, in collaboration with colleagues in Australia, discovered a unique bacterial protein that can maintain human cells healthy even when the cells are heavily contaminated with bacteria. The discovery could lead to new treatments for a wide range of mitochondrial dysfunction-related ailments, including cancer and auto-immune disorders. Mitochondria are organelles that provide the majority of the [...]

Washington [US], October 27 (ANI): Researchers have discovered a low-cost anti-inflammatory hydrogel that could one day be used to treat persistent skin lesions such as those observed in diabetics. In a paper published in the journal Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, they presented the results of animal studies. According to the International Diabetes Federation, Brazil ranks sixth among countries with the most diabetes cases, which has reached epidemic proportions and has become the [...]

A review paper published in the journal Foods describes a study that provides an overview of studies on minimally processed vegetables (MPVs), with a particular focus on the Brazilian market. Data is presented on hygiene indicators and pathogenic microorganisms, especially Escherichia coli (the main indicator of fecal contamination), Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes, with prevalence rates ranging from 0.7 per cent to 100 per cent, 0.6 per cent to 26.7 per cent, and 0.2 per cent to [...]

Washington [US], August 15 (ANI): 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 [...]

Washington DC [US], July 22 (ANI): A tremendous amount of plastic has accumulated in landfills and the ocean as petroleum-derived packaging materials degrade slowly and are rarely recycled . To address this issue and meet the growing demand for products that are safe for human health and the environment, the food industry is investing in the development of more sustainable packaging alternatives that preserve nutritional quality as well as organoleptic traits such as colour, taste, smell, [...]
