Washington [US], July 22 : The schistosomiasis worms (Schistosoma mansoni) are uncommon in a number of aspects, most notably the requirement that male and female adults remain partnered throughout their lives in order for reproduction to be effective. As many as 3,000 eggs might be laid daily by females. About half go to the stomach or bladder of the host. The remainder is carried away by the circulation to the liver and spleen, where they cause serious inflammation and liver cirrhosis, which [...]

Washington DC [US], July 18 (ANI): Because petroleum-derived packaging materials degrade slowly and are rarely recycled, there has been a massive buildup of plastic in landfills and the ocean. To address this issue and meet the growing demand for products that are safe for human health and the environment, the food industry is investing in the development of more sustainable packaging alternatives that preserve nutritional quality as well as organoleptic traits such as colour, taste, smell, [...]

Sao Paulo [Brazil], July 4 (ANI): Regular physical exercise, such as resistance training, can help to prevent Alzheimer’s disease or postpone the onset of symptoms, and it is a simple and inexpensive therapy for Alzheimer’s patients. This is the conclusion of a paper published in Frontiers in Neuroscience by Brazilian researchers from the Federal University of S. Paulo (UNIFESP) and the University of S. Paulo (USP). Although most Alzheimer’s patients and older [...]

Washington [US], May 6 (ANI): Millions of Amerindians living in today’s Amazonia altered the formerly poor soil through numerous mechanisms between 450 BCE and 950 CE. Soils were enhanced with charcoal from low-intensity fires used for cooking and burning trash, animal bones, broken pottery, compost, and manure through many human generations. The end product is Amazonian dark earth (ADE) or terra preta, which is extremely fruitful due to its high concentration of nutrients and stable [...]

New Delhi, April 18 - Poor diet contributed to over 14.1 million cases of type 2 diabetes in 2018, representing over 70 per cent of new diagnoses globally, according to a study. Of the 30 most populated countries studied, India, Nigeria, and Ethiopia had the fewest case of type 2 diabetes related to unhealthy eating, the researchers said.

Sau Paulo [Brazil], April 15 (ANI): Researchers at the Federal University of So Carlos (UFSCar) and the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil invented an electrochemical sensor that can identify Parkinson’s disease at various stages. The gadget was created using a standard 3D printer and showed early disease detection capabilities, serving as a model for the detection of other diseases, according to the study. Findings in the journal published in the journal Sensors and [...]

A study by Brazilian researchers, funded by FAPESP and reported in an article published in the scientific journal Healthcare, identified several risk factors for spinal health, [...]

TRINDADE ISLAND, Brazil (Reuters) – The geology of Brazil’s volcanic Trindade Island has fascinated scientists for years, but the discovery of rocks made from plastic debris in this remote turtle refuge is sparking alarm. Melted plastic has become intertwined with rocks on the island, located 1,140 km (708 miles) from the southeastern state of Espirito Santo, which researchers say is evidence of humans’ growing influence over the earth’s geological [...]
