Cognitive performance is better in girls whose walk to school lasts more than 15 minutes

65394 Cognitive performance of adolescent girls who walk to school is better than that of girls who travel by bus or car. Moreover, cognitive performance is also better in girls who take more than 15 minutes than in those who live closer and have a shorter walk to school. These are some of the conclusions… Seguir Leyendo Cognitive performance is better in girls whose walk to school lasts more than 15 minutes

Spanish scientists successfully generate ‘artificial bones’ from umbilical cord stem cells

66186 Scientists in Granada, Spain, have patented a new biomaterial that facilitates generating bone tissue—artificial bones in other words—from umbilical cord stem cells . The material, consisting of an activated carbon cloth support for cells that differentiate giving rise to a product that can promote bone growth, has recently been presented at a press conference at… Seguir Leyendo Spanish scientists successfully generate ‘artificial bones’ from umbilical cord stem cells

Exercising during pregnancy reduces the risk of high birth weight newborns

65951 Taking moderate-intensity exercise three times a week during the second and third trimester of pregnancy halves the risk of having a high birth weight newborn (babies with macrosomia, that is, weighing over 4 kilos) and, therefore, the risk of needing a caesarean delivery. These findings come from research led by Rubén Barakat of the Polytechnic… Seguir Leyendo Exercising during pregnancy reduces the risk of high birth weight newborns

Choline intake improves memory and attention-holding capacity

64817 An experimental study in rats has shown that consuming choline, a vitamin B group nutrient found in foodstuffs like eggs and chicken or beef liver, soy and wheat germ, helps improve long-term memory and attention-holding capacity. The study, conducted by scientists at the University of Granada (Spain) Simón Bolívar University, (Venezuela) and the University… Seguir Leyendo Choline intake improves memory and attention-holding capacity

Identification of animal disease-transmission agents based on social networks tools

64574 Spanish and US scientists have successfully identified animal species that can transmit more diseases to humans by using mathematical tools similar to those applied to the study of social networks like Facebook or Twitter. Their research—recently published in the prestigious journal PNAS—describes how parasite-primate interactions transmit diseases like malaria, yellow fever or AIDS to… Seguir Leyendo Identification of animal disease-transmission agents based on social networks tools
