Study gives insight into significance of genetic sequencing to diagnosis of growth disorders
Publicado em 17 fevereiro 2024
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 [...]

Sanitised ready-to-eat salad may contain pathogenic bacteria:Research
Publicado em 03 setembro 2023A 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 [...]ver notícia -
Artificial intelligence can diagnose autism spectrum disorder: Study
Publicado em 15 agosto 2023Washington [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 [...]ver notícia -
Study suggests resistance training can prevent or delay Alzheimer’s disease
Publicado em 04 julho 2023Regular physical exercise, such as resistance training, can prevent Alzheimer’s disease, or at least delay the appearance of symptoms, and serves as a simple and affordable therapy for Alzheimer’s patients. This is the conclusion of an article published in Frontiers in Neuroscience by Brazilian researchers affiliated with the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and the University of São Paulo (USP). Although older people and dementia patients are unlikely to [...]ver notícia -
Low-cost sensor detects early-stage Parkinson’s disease in biological samples
Publicado em 12 abril 2023Researchers at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in Brazil have developed an electrochemical sensor that detects Parkinson’s disease at different stages. The device was fabricated using an ordinary 3D printer and proved capable of early diagnosis, also serving as a model for the identification of other diseases, according to an article published in the journal Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical. “The sensor rapidly [...]ver notícia -
Sugar consumption, early interruption of breastfeeding are threat elements for dental caries: Research
Publicado em 07 fevereiro 2023A research involving 800 youngsters confirmed that the inclusion of sugar of their weight loss plan and early interruption of breastfeeding are the primary elements that contribute to the looks of dental caries by the age of two years. The research was printed within the journal ‘Neighborhood Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology’. The World Well being Group (WHO) recommends unique breastfeeding for the primary six months of life, adopted by continued breastfeeding together with [...]ver notícia -

New research adds to understanding of genetic factors that naturally protect people from Covid-19
Publicado em 22 novembro 2022Washington [US], November 22 (ANI): Two recent papers by Brazilian researchers have added to the scientific understanding of the genetic factors that protect people from SARS-CoV-2 infection or prevent progression to severe COVID-19. The first describes the findings of a study involving a group of resilient older people aged 90 or more, while the second examines a case of severe COVID-19 in identical twins, only one of whom had long-term symptoms of the disease. "If we can really prove [...]ver notícia -
Researchers identify neurons that specialize in remembering speed and location
Publicado em 18 setembro 2022By Mônica Tarantino | Agência FAPESP–Over a decade after the role of pyramidal neurons in mental representations of space and location was discovered, a group of Brazilian and American researchers has made an important contribution to scientists’ understanding of the brain’s navigation system by identifying a subtype of these neurons that can gauge speed with great precision. “In experiments involving animals, we demonstrated an association between the [...]ver notícia
