Study investigates Atlantic Rainforest regeneration in the state of São Paulo
Publicado em 28 maio 2020
The Atlantic Rainforest has been so savagely clearcut and burned over several centuries that only approximately 12% now remains. Nevertheless, it is still one of the planet's largest repositories of biodiversity, and counter to a process that appeared irreversible, forest cover in the biome has begun to recover in recent decades.
To confirm this trend and understand the dynamics of forest fragment degradation and regeneration, a study conducted at the National Space Research (INPE) [...]

COVID-19 should be treated as a thrombotic disease, Brazilian pulmonologist argues
Publicado em 27 maio 2020The hypothesis that blood clotting disorders may explain some of the worst symptoms of COVID-19, including respiratory failure and pulmonary fibrosis, was suggested in mid-April by researchers in Brazil affiliated with the University of São Paulo's Medical School (FM-USP) via an article accepted for publication by the Journal of Thrombosis. One of the first scientists to report the "thrombotic nature" of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was Elnara [...]Medical Xpress (Reino Unido) -

Study indicates the need to revise the protocol for detecting Zika in placenta
Publicado em 21 maio 2020Shortly after the explosion in microcephaly cases caused by Zika virus in Brazil in 2015-16, several scientific studies were published with evidence that the pathogen is capable of crossing the human placenta, the organ that keeps the fetus connected to the mother's body during pregnancy. From then on, the states began following a protocol established by the National Ministry of Health requiring collection of placental samples to help diagnose the disease in women with symptoms during [...]Medical Xpress (Reino Unido) -
