Women may face a higher risk of heart attacks during geomagnetic disturbances caused by solar storms, especially between ages 31 to 60. Heart attack frequency appears to rise in correlation with disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field caused by solar storms, particularly among women, according to findings published in Communications Medicine (1 ✔ ✔Trusted Source Influence of geomagnetic disturbances on myocardial infarctions in women and men from Brazil Go to source). This [...]

Scientists have uncovered a new cosmic concern — nearly invisible asteroids lurking around Venus that could pose a risk to Earth in the long run. Here’s what you need to know about this intriguing and important discovery: 1. What Are These Hidden Asteroids? Researchers have identified a group of asteroids orbiting near Venus, often called “co-orbital asteroids” because they share a similar orbit around the Sun. These asteroids are small, dark, and extremely hard to detect with [...]

The world’s first vaccine trial against elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV)—a leading cause of death in young Asian elephants—is safe and triggers a strong virus-fighting immune response, according to an international team led by the University of Surrey, in collaboration with Chester Zoo and the Animal and Plant Health Agency. Published in Nature Communications, the proof‑of‑concept study involved adult elephants at Chester Zoo. No side effects were seen, and the vaccine [...]

Scientists have just unveiled a new vaccine that might finally protect Asian elephants from the deadly EEHV virus—a disease that's been wiping out young elephants for years. Early tests on adult elephants at Chester Zoo in the UK are looking really promising, giving hope to conservationists everywhere.

Researchers at Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo (ESALQ-USP), Brazil have developed a new methodology to project how climate change will affect the physiology of livestock between 2050 and 2100. The research findings indicate that ruminant animals reared in the Northern Hemisphere are, and will be, the most impacted ones by heat stress. For Southern Hemisphere poultry production will be the most impacted chain by heat stress. According to current estimations [...]

Earth is apparently at risk from nearly invisible asteroids around Venus. Latest research suggests that some asteroids sharing Venus' orbit are extremely difficult to detect from Earth because they are masked by the Sun's glare. But they might emerge as a potential threat as simulations have indicated that some of them could intersect Earth's path within a few thousand years, posing a collision risk. "Our study shows that there's a population of potentially dangerous [...]

A powder based on morin, a natural compound extracted from plants such as guava leaves, apple and fig peels, certain teas, and almonds, has shown antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects against bacteria that cause periodontal disease. It is expected that the substance, released in a controlled manner through polymers, will help with nonsurgical treatments as an alternative to antibiotics for controlling microorganisms. In in vitro laboratory studies, researchers at the [...]

Astronomers have warned that Earth may be at risk from asteroids that have remained undetected near Venus for a long time. A new study which was published in Astronomy & Astrophysics indicates that these asteroids co-orbit Venus, which could pose a direct threat to our planet. The study suggests that these objects are mostly “invisible” because sunlight obscures them. At some point, they could be re‑oriented into an orbit that crosses Earth’s path. Threats Lurking in the Inner [...]

A promising new powder derived from morin, a natural flavonoid extracted from sources such as guava leaves, apple and fig peels, teas, and almonds, has demonstrated significant antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, especially against bacteria responsible for periodontal disease. Researchers believe this controlled-release formulation could serve as a non-antibiotic alternative for managing oral microorganisms during nonsurgical treatments for periodontal issues. The [...]
