According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1 per cent of the world population over 65 had Parkinson's in 2019. Brasilia: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can increase the benefits of aerobic exercise and improve the gait of patients with Parkinson's disease immediately after a session. Step time variability decreases, reaction time shortens, and executive control of gait is enhanced. These were the main findings of a randomized, double-blinded, [...]

A recent study found that remotely supervised workout sessions proved to be more effective than face-to-face exercise classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Washington: Remotely supervised workout sessions were found to be more effective than face-to-face exercise classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggested a new study. The findings of the study appeared in the journal 'Psychiatry Research'. Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil investigated the effects of [...]

Brasilia: A research group at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) has analyzed how Candida albicans fungi and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria influence gene expression and tumour cell survival. An in vitro study conducted by researchers at UNESP in Araraquara, Brazil, shows how fungi and bacteria can activate genes associated with head and neck tumours, as the metabolism of biofilms (communities in which these microorganisms self-organize in a structured and coordinated manner) stimulate tumour [...]

Washington: A study conducted by an international team of researchers with FAPESP's support shows that infection by chikungunya virus can produce even more severe manifestations than the typical symptoms of the disease, such as acute fever, headache, rash, and intense joint and muscle pain. The analysis was performed by 38 researchers affiliated with the Federal University of Ceara (UFC), the University of Sao Paulo (USP), and the Ministry of Health in Brazil, and with Imperial [...]

WASHINGTON, Sept 30:Researchers have discovered that a fat molecule 12-HEPE—produced in the human body in response to cold external temperatures—plays a role in reducing the blood sugar levels, an advance that may pave the way for new diabetes treatment methods. The study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, also found that a drug used to treat urinary dysfunction increased the amount of 12-HEPE released into the bloodstream in human patients. When the researchers, including [...]

Sao Paulo : A team of global researchers has discovered that a lipid — produced in response to cold by brown adipose tissue in the human body — helps reduce blood sugar. The discovery with the lipid known as 12-HEPE can pave the way for new treatments for diabetes, said the team from Brazil, the US and Germany. The group also observed that a drug used to treat urinary dysfunction increases the amount of 12-HEPE released into the bloodstream in human patients. White adipose [...]

What was once known as a single species of electric eel is actually three different species, with one of the newly classified organism producing the highest voltage discharge of any known animal, according to a study. The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, offers new insights into the origin and production of strong electric discharges in fishes. Electric eels belong to the knifefish family, and are closely related to catfish and carp than to other eel families, the [...]

Washington DC: In a recent study, scientists have discovered that growth hormone (GH) plays an important role when it comes to losing and maintaining weight. According to the research published in the journal Nature Communications, GH stimulates skeletal maturation and linear bone growth, as well as helps maintain tissue and organs throughout life, also acts directly on the brain to conserve energy when the body loses weight. "Growth hormone has been known for decades, but our discovery shows [...]

One of the group's experiments on mice shows how a low-calorie diet can protect the brain from neuronal cell death associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and epilepsy.
