Covid patients dying of unique fungus, researchers begin probe
Publicado em 19 julho 2020
A team of researchers has for the first time discovered hybrid fungus involved in lung infections and are investigating the role of fungi in COVID-19.
Several COVID-19 patients have died owing to concomitant infection by Aspergillus.
Aspergillus latus, a species of fungus previously found only in soil or plants, has been found for the first time in a hospital environment by an international group of researchers.
The group sequenced its genome and discovered that it is actually a hybrid and [...]

Saliva can predict excess body fat in teenagers
Publicado em 20 fevereiro 2020RIO DE JANEIRO: In addition to keeping the mouth moist and protecting us against germs, saliva can also be used for early detection of the risk of developing diseases associated with surplus body fat, a new study suggests. For the findings, published in the journal Nutrition Research, the researchers in Brazil performed a study in which they used the level of uric acid in saliva to predict body fat percentages in teenagers and identify those with surplus fat even if they had no symptoms of [...]ver notícia -
LISTENING TO MUSIC DRIVING LESS STRESS WHILE DRIVING A CAR
Publicado em 19 novembro 2019Scientists from universities in Brazil, Italy and Britain conducted a study and found that riding in the car to music improves heart function, lowering the stress level of the driver. On the work of experts said in an article published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine. The researchers conducted the experiment, selecting for his five girls aged 18 to 23 years old with little driving experience, having taken over the wheel 1-2 times a week. This is because experienced drivers [...]ver notícia -
Growth hormone acts to foil weight loss: Study

Scientists identify 4 extremely young asteroid families
Publicado em 25 setembro 2018Brazilian scientists have identified four new families of extremely young asteroids, taking the total number to 13. The four families, all of which are less than seven million years old, orbit between Mars and Jupiter as part of a grouping known as the Main Asteroid Belt. The researchers dated the families using a numerical simulation method to process current data to go back in time to the asteroid formation era. "We identified the new families by means of numerical simulation using the [...]ver notícia
