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 [...]

People who have had zika run a higher risk of subsequently having severe dengue and being hospitalised, a new study has showed. The analysis by a team of Brazilian researchers showed that patients with a history of zika infection had a 2.34 times higher risk of developing severe dengue. They also had a 3.39 times higher risk of hospitalisation compared to the controls (subjects with no dengue and no zika history). Relatively advanced age (over 59) was also a higher risk factor for severe [...]

Sao Paulo, Jan 17: A 30-minute walk at moderate intensity temporarily reduced blood pressure in women with rheumatoid arthritis, not only at rest but also under stress, according to a study. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting synovial joints and causing pain, swelling, and progressive physical incapacity. People with rheumatoid arthritis also tend to have high blood pressure, and previous research has shown that the risk of death from cardiovascular disease [...]

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 [...]

New Delhi, Sep 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) The use of cell therapy to treat COVID-19 patients can reduce the risk of death from the disease by 60 per cent, according to a new study. The systematic review and meta-analysis covered 195 clinical trials of advanced cell therapies targeting COVID-19 that were conducted in 30 countries between January 2020 and December 2021, as well as 26 trials with outcomes published by July 2022.

Ageing is known to increase the production of an immune protein that may harmfully react with a person's own tissues or organs. But researchers have now found that Covid-19 infection can exacerbate their production, explaining why old age raises the odds of developing severe Covid. Increases in the immune protein, known as auto-antibodies, may also lead to blood clotting disorders such as thrombosis, showed the study, published in the journal npj Aging. "These findings open 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 [...]
