Researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in São Paulo State, Brazil, partnered with colleagues at University College London in the UK to discover an effective, simple and inexpensive method for predicting the risk of functional disability in older adults. … They analyzed data from more than 3,000 people over sixty living in England and found that only slow gait can be considered a predictor of loss of ability to perform basic and instrumental activities [...]

Santos (Sao Paulo) [Brazil], November 6 (ANI): A new study has found that cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be used for the early detection of respiratory disorders in overweight and obese individuals. This is the main finding of a study by Brazilian researchers who set out to assess the influence of obesity on the physiological responses obtained in CPET. The findings of the study were published in the journal ‘PLOS ONE’. Most of the authors are researchers in the [...]

Brazilian study published In the magazine Earth and environment connection shows how forest fires and forest burning for agricultural purposes affect the formation of rain clouds in the Amazon. Aerosols (tiny solid particles and liquid droplets released into the atmosphere by a fire) prevent cloud droplets from freezing when the atmosphere is humid, but can also contribute to freezing when the atmosphere is dry, according to the authors. This alters the natural functioning of clouds and their [...]

A Brazilian study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment shows how wildfires and forest burning for agriculture influence rain cloud formation in the Amazon. According to the authors, aerosols (tiny solid particles and liquid droplets emitted into the atmosphere by fire) hinder the freezing of cloud droplets when the atmosphere is humidified, but can also promote freezing when the atmosphere is dry. This alters the natural functioning of clouds and their typical height, [...]

The aquatic fungus, which has led to the extinction of several species of amphibians that spend all or part of their life cycle in water, also threatens terrestrial amphibians. In Brazil, researchers supported by FAPESP have found unprecedented mortality among a genus of tiny frogs known as pumpkin toads, which inhabit the rainforests of the Atlantic Ocean away from any aquatic environment. The animals were heavily infected with chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), which causes [...]

(Reuters) – The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that have yet to be certified by peer review. Coronavirus transforms pancreas cell function When the coronavirus infects cells, it not only impairs their activity but can also change their function, new findings suggest. For example, when insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas become infected with the virus, they not only [...]
