Why old age is a risk factor for Covid-19
Publicado em 14 setembro 2023Ageing is known to increase the production of an immune protein that may harmfully react with a person's own tissues or organs. But researchers have now found that Covid-19 infection can exacerbate their production, explaining why old age raises the odds of developing severe Covid. Increases in the immune protein, known as auto-antibodies, may also lead to blood clotting disorders such as thrombosis, showed the study, published in the journal npj Aging. "These findings open the [...]ver notícia -
Less whole-grain intake, more red meat behind global spike in diabetes
Publicado em 18 abril 2023New York, April 18 Increased intake of refined rice and wheat as well as processed red meat, and low consumption of whole grains is causing a significant increase in the global cases of diabetes, according to a study. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, showed that poor diet contributed to over 14.1 million cases of Type-2 diabetes, representing over 70 per cent of new diagnoses globally. They found factors such as drinking too much fruit juice and not eating enough [...]ver notícia -
Covid virus can be detected in tears sampled by ocular swab: Study
Publicado em 18 fevereiro 2023San Francisco, Feb 17 A team of researchers found that the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can be detected in tears sampled by ocular swabs, a new study has shown. The researchers analysed samples from patients diagnosed with the disease by conventional methods and admitted to the Hospital, according to the study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine. SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 18.2 per cent of the samples, suggesting this method could be an alternative to the conventional [...]ver notícia -
Scientists use human breast milk to treat prolonged Covid
Publicado em 24 junho 2022Sao Paulo, June 24 - In a rare case, Brazilian scientists used breast milk to treat Covid-19 in a woman with a rare genetic disease that makes her immune system unable to combat viruses and other pathogens. The patient who was diagnosed with Covid-19, in March 2021, tested positive for 124 days by RT-PCR. She was advised by the team from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Sao Paulo, to take 30 millilitres of breast milk every three hours for a week. The breast milk was donated by a [...]ver notícia -
Omicron’s Mutations Explain Why It Is Less Severe Among Vaccinated
Publicado em 09 fevereiro 2022Sao Paulo, Feb 9 Brazilian researchers have found that Omicron has mutations detected in previous variants and that is the reason why it is less severe among the vaccinated. Omicron emerged as a variant of concern only in November 2021, but all the mutations it contains, except one, had been described before that. Researchers at the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil attribute this factor to the effectiveness of the existing vaccines against the variant, reflected in the [...]ver notícia -
Music may reduce cardiac stress while driving: Study
Publicado em 13 novembro 2019Rio de Janeiro, Nov 13 (IANS) Stress while driving is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac complications such as heart attack, but now researchers have found that listening to music while driving can reduce cardiac stress. “We found that cardiac stress in the participants in our experiment was reduced by listening to music while they were driving,” said study lead author Vitor Engracia Valenti, Professor at Sao Paulo State University in [...]ver notícia
