Researchers estimated biodiversity and biomass losses in the biome using data from 1,819 forest inventories. In terms of carbon storage, the losses correspond to the destruction of 70,000 km² of forest A Brazilian study published (http://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-20217-w) in Nature Communications shows that human activities have directly or indirectly caused biodiversity and biomass losses in over 80% of the remaining Atlantic Rainforest fragments. According to the authors, in [...]

A protein secreted by body’s fat help lose weight. Researchers have identified a substance capable of promoting weight loss and improving the control of glucose and circulating lipids. Brazilian and North American researchers have identified a protein secreted by brown adipose tissue that can communicate with the liver and, thus, favour weight loss, in addition to improving the control of glucose and circulating lipids. The finding covers the way for new treatments against chronic [...]

Scientists will monitor areas in which these diseases are endemic, such as São Paulo, the Amazon, the Pantanal and Panama, to investigate the factors that trigger outbreaks (monkey being examined in Manaus área. Yellow fever was the first human disease to have a licensed vaccine and has long been considered important to an understanding of how epidemics happen and should be combated. It was introduced to the Americas in the seventeenth century, and high death rates have resulted [...]

The black and white tegu lizard, which depends on external environmental factors to regulate body temperature, can survive swings between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius in a single day while keeping blood pressure steady The mechanism that keeps arterial blood pressure stable in black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) even as their body temperature varies substantially is more efficient at lower than higher external temperatures, contrary to what has always been believed, and vascular [...]

The mechanism that retains arterial blood pressure secure in black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) at the same time as their physique temperature varies considerably is more efficient at decrease than increased exterior temperatures, opposite to what has at all times been believed, and vascular regulation performs a key function in pressure changes, in response to an article revealed in PLOS ONE by researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) within the state [...]

The mechanism that keeps arterial blood pressure stable in black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) even as their body temperature varies substantially is more efficient at lower than higher external temperatures, contrary to what has always been believed, and vascular regulation plays a key role in pressure adjustments, according to an article published in PLOS ONE by researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The [...]

Sao Paulo, Feb 11 - Lung ultrasound, considered a simple method for diagnosing lung disease, can also help predict the clinical progression of severe Covid-19 patients, a new study suggests. The study, published in the journal Annals of Intensive Care, showed that the higher the lung ultrasound score, the greater the risk of admission to an intensive care unit (ICU), intubation and death. "We found lung ultrasound to be a good predictor of the need for intensive care with endotracheal [...]

The use of cover crops between cotton harvests protects the soil, conserves water, and reduces the danger of erosion. Researchers on the University of Western São Paulo (UNOESTE) and São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil discovered that software of potassium (Ok) to a grass cover crop grown earlier than cotton in sandy soil lowered manufacturing value and resulted in cotton with a better market worth. “The dynamics of early application of potassium to grass planted [...]

Lung ultrasound, considered a simple method for diagnosing lung disease, can also help predict the clinical progression of severe COVID-19 patients, according to a study conducted at the University of São Paulo’s Medical School (FM-USP) in Brazil. The principal investigator for the study was Heraldo Possolo de Souza, a professor at FM-USP and an attending physician at its teaching and general hospital, Hospital das Clínicas (HC). The researchers applied an ultrasound [...]
