Scientists 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 [...]

Stress while driving is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac complications such as heart attack (myocardial infarction), according to studies published in recent years. Selecting suitable driving music may be one way to mitigate this risk. A study by researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Marília, Brazil, suggests that listening to instrumental music, for example, may relieve cardiac stress. The results of the study, which [...]

Scientists have proven that a novel compound inhibits key enzymes to interrupt the malaria parasite's lifecycle in human organisms and prevents transmission to vector insects. Malaria kills nearly 500,000 people per year, and more than 200 million new cases of the disease are reported annually. One of the obstacles to eradication is the parasite's emerging resistance to existing drugs. The results of the study, published in the journalSciencepave the way for the development of a new [...]

This is something to get amped up about: a team from the Smithsonian Institute has discovered a new species of electric eel that can generate an electrical shock of up to 860 volts, the strongest of any known animal. Despite their misleading name, electric eels are actually naked-back knifefishes and are more closely related to catfish and carp than to other eel families. They can reach up to 2.5m in length and are the only fish capable of producing such strong electrical discharge via three [...]

A previously undiscovered species of electric eel which delivers a shock with more than three times the voltage of a domestic plug socket has been discovered in the Amazon rainforest. The enormous 2.5 metre eel has been named the Electrophorus voltai after Alessandro Volta, the Italian physicist who invented the battery.  The animal, a type of knifefish, can discharge an electric shock reaching as high as 860 volts, the most powerful of any animal known to [...]

Pesquisa feita por um group internacional de pesquisadores identificou um composto capaz de interromper o ciclo de vida do parasita causador da malária no corpo humano, impedindo a transmissão da doença para o mosquito vetor. Os resultados do estudo abrem caminho para que um novo medicamento contra a doença seja desenvolvido. A trabalho teve a participação de brasileiros, financiados thus Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do state of [...]

A major budget crisis at Brazil’s leading science funding agency could disrupt the lives of thousands of students and early-career scientists. In September, the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) in Brasília could run out of money to continue to fund the grants and scholarships it provides to more than Brazilians. On 15 August, the agency took to Twitter to announce the suspension of financial support for its recipients—a measure that many [...]
