A new coronavirus has been discovered in bats in Brazil, sharing similarities with the deadly MERS virus, but its risk to humans remains still unclear, scientists say. Researchers from São Paulo said the newly discovered novel coronavirus has a resemblance with the Middle East respiratory syndrome virus, or Mers-CoV, which was first identified in 2012 in Saudi Arabia and has killed over 850 people, with cases of infection reported across more than two dozen countries. According to [...]

Diabetes is a chronic disease that happens when your blood sugar levels are too high. And if it does not get controlled, it can damage your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. While there are so many different ways to control high glucose, a breakthrough study has suggested that fish oil could be the magic mantra. A Brazilian study published in the journal Nutrients suggests that fish oil improves glucose tolerance by influencing the body’s inflammatory response. According [...]

Joint pain and depression are more than just burdens for seniors—they may collectively harm brain function, particularly memory. A new study, published in the journal Ageing and Mental Health, reveals that older adults experiencing both chronic joint pain and depression are at higher risk of faster cognitive decline over time. The study, conducted by Brazilian researcher Patricia Silva Tofani and her team at the Federal University of Sergipe, tracked 4,718 adults aged 50 and above from [...]

A new study has found that high blood pressure can impair one’s breathing capacity by hardening the airways in the respiratory system, thereby increasing resistance. The study was a study published in the journal Advances in Respiratory Medicine and conducted by researchers from the Federal University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The study, however, found that being physically active can help by improving the functioning of respiratory muscles, resulting in better coordination between [...]

A recent study found microplastics in brain tissue above the nose. Scientists say that this could be a passage for microscopic plastic shards and fibre to enter the brain. Earlier, microplastics were discovered in almost every organ in the human body including the bloodstream and plaque that clogs arteries. The study was published in the journal JAMA Network Open and conducted by included researchers from the University of São Paulo Medical School in Brazil. The study looked at the [...]

Even a mild COVID-19 infection can take a heavy toll on your cognitive health – severely affecting your memory and attention span, with effects lingering up to 18 months later, scientists say. According to a new study, conducted by the University of Sao Paulo, it is not just people who survived a severe bout of coronavirus infection that can be left battling "brain fog". The study collected data from over 300 volunteers – all of whom had mild, moderate, and severe cases [...]

A simple blood test could help predict your risk of obstructive sleep apnea or OSA – a life-threatening condition that can stop you from breathing. According to statistics, more than 936 million adults across the world are estimated to have mild to severe OSA. Snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea in up to 94 per cent of patients. Many with this condition wake up choking or gasping for breath, while others feel extremely fatigued during the day. Studies say, if left untreated, [...]

A recent study published in the Journal of Human Hypertension revealed that a 30-minute walk at moderate intensity temporarily reduced blood pressure in women with rheumatoid arthritis, not only at rest but also under stress. Mayo Clinic defines rheumatoid arthritis as, “a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just your joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. “An [...]

New Delhi: Geologists at the Federal University of Parana, Brazil were left stunned after they discovered a new type of rock created by melted plastic trash on Brazil’s volcanic Trindade Island. Researchers are calling the discovery evidence of humans’ growing influence over the earth’s geological cycles. “This is new and terrifying at the same time because pollution has reached geology,” Reuters quoted Fernanda Avelar Santos, a geologist at the Federal University [...]
