Low protein diet in pregnancy may up prostate cancer risk in kids later
Publicado em 25 janeiro 2024
Sao Paulo: Children born to women who were malnourished during pregnancy tend to face a higher risk of prostate cancer in adulthood, according to two studies in mice.
In the first study, researchers at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil detected alterations in gene expression that may have been associated with the hormone imbalance observed in the rats’ offspring and the heightened risk of prostate cancer.
“Lack of protein during gestation and lactation deregulates [...]

Just 30-min walk can improve blood pressure in women with arthritis
Publicado em 17 janeiro 2024A 30-minute walk at moderate intensity temporarily reduced blood pressure in women with rheumatoid arthritis, not only at rest but also under stress, according to a study. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting synovial joints and causing pain, swelling, and progressive physical incapacity. People with rheumatoid arthritis also tend to have high blood pressure, and previous research has shown that the risk of death from cardiovascular disease is 50 per cent [...]ver notícia -
Severe Covid-19 is a thrombotic disease: Study
Publicado em 09 dezembro 2023Blood clotting (thrombosis) in the capillary vessels of the lungs is one of the first consequences of severe Covid-19, even preceding the respiratory distress caused by diffuse alveolar damage, according to a study. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, described autopsies of nine patients who died after developing the severe form of the disease showed a clearly typified condition involving alterations to lung vascularisation and thrombosis. For the first time, the [...]ver notícia -
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 -
The Gravity Of The Sun And Moon Has A Real Effect On Flora And Fauna Activities
Publicado em 06 janeiro 2022According to new research, the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon certainly seems to effect flora and fauna activities, however the particular methods by which this occurs are unknown. Including a conceptual of prior studies, gravitational tides can affect how animals and plants sleep, move, and grow while other causes such as night and day cycles are taken into account. Whereas the Sun and Moon's gravitational tides are quite modest about a millionth of the pull of Earth's [...]ver notícia -

Saliva can predict excess body fat in teenagers
Publicado em 20 fevereiro 2020In addition to keeping the mouth moist and protecting us against germs, saliva can also be used for early detection of the risk of developing diseases associated with surplus body fat, a new study suggests. For the findings, published in the journal Nutrition Research, the researchers in Brazil performed a study in which they used the level of uric acid in saliva to predict body fat percentages in teenagers and identify those with surplus fat even if they had no symptoms of chronic [...]ver notícia -

DECODED: HOW STRESS TURNS HAIR WHITE
Publicado em 23 janeiro 2020According to the scientists, the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the body's rapid involuntary response to dangerous situations, is affected directly by the stress, and consists of nerves that branch from the spine and run throughout the body. Researchers have identified for the first time the mechanism by which chronic stress causes hair colour loss, an advance that may lead to the development of novel drugs which can prevent the whitening of hair. In the study, published [...]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
