Highlights: Propolis reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in HIV patients, potentially improving immune response The study highlights the immunomodulating properties of propolis and the need for further clinical trials Propolis demonstrates increased CD4+ T cell proliferation and production of regulatory T cells, which play vital roles in immune system function Taking 500 milligrams (mg) of propolis every day can help those living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, [...]

CEPOF is a Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center (RIDC) funded by FAPESP and hosted at the University of São Paulo's São Carlos Institute of Physics (IFSC-USP) in Brazil. Some 750 million people suffer from tinnitus worldwide, according to a European study that analyzed five decades of patient data. Often described as ringing or hissing in the ears, it is considered a symptom rather than a disease but is unpleasant and in some cases incapacitating. Its known causes can [...]

A research model of dietary intake in 184 countries, developed by researchers at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, estimates 7 out of 10 cases of type 2 diabetes worldwide in 2018 linked to food choices. Of the 11 dietary factors considered, three had an outsized contribution to the rising global incidence of type 2 diabetes: Insufficient intake of whole grains, excesses of refined rice and wheat, and the overconsumption of processed meat. Factors such [...]

A new study discovers the mechanism that explains the association between decreased levels of PKMzeta protein and Alzheimer's disease. The findings are published in the journal Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) – Gene Regulatory Mechanisms.// To understand the mechanism, the researchers used epigenetics, the science of how environmental stimuli activate or inhibit gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. An epigenetic technique often used by researchers is [...]

  A simple, cheap, and flexible sensor that rapidly analyzes saliva to monitor the action of Paracetamol, a widely used analgesic in real time for permitting dosage correction was developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Paracetamol is the main non-opioid drug recommended for mild pain by the World Health Organization (WHO), but its excessive consumption is associated with liver and kidney problems caused by the accumulation of toxic metabolites, [...]

The newly developed electrochemical sensor detects Parkinsons disease at different stages. The device was developed by University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) researchers.   Kalinke is a postdoctoral fellow at UNICAMP's Institute of Chemistry (IQ) and a visiting researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom.

Excessive usage of mobile phones for texting, e-mailing, choosing a song on a iPod could lead to postural problems - in specific hunchback, as it requires constantly looking down,warn doctors. Despite make communication easier, the new technology has exposed us to a gamut of upper back-related problems, especially the neck area. "If you're constantly looking down, you develop a forward curvature that rounds the whole spine," the Daily Mail quoted Kirsten Lord, managing [...]

Physical activity benefits muscles through mitochondrial processes, as evidenced by nematode worm experiments conducted at the University of São Paulo's Biomedical Sciences Institute (ICB-USP). Regular exercise can guarantee the quality of life and longevity, specialists agree. However, exactly how exercise influences the functioning of muscle cells is poorly understood. Post-meal exercises are beneficial in diabetes, weight loss, and digestion. The exercises that can be done [...]
