The ActiveBrains study, led by the University of Granada, analyzes the effects of a 5-month aerobic and resistance exercise program, performed 3 times a week, in children with overweight/obesity. The researchers/as have observed that the schoolchildren who performed exercise, compared to a control group, improved their intelligence in a prominent way, and also their cognitive… Seguir Leyendo Schoolchildren who exercise are smarter and perform better academically
A study led by the UGR reveals that men with periodontitis who are also diagnosed with erectile dysfunction are almost four times more likely to suffer a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) The onset of erectile dysfunction among men with periodontitis could be a warning sign of potentially much more serious (cardiovascular) conditions and events… Seguir Leyendo Men with periodontitis and erectile dysfunction are more likely to suffer a major cardiovascular event in the next four years
Wearing FFP2-type facemasks for any length of time produces a concentration of CO2 between the face and the mask that is higher than the normal atmospheric concentration, due to the gas we exhale when breathing. CO2 rebreathing can cause adverse health effects, even in healthy people, such as general malaise, headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath,… Seguir Leyendo Experts design a ‘smart’ FFP2 facemask that sends a mobile alert when CO2 limits are exceeded

Researchers from the University of Granada and the Institut d’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (Tarragona) have identified that the levels of a small molecule, succinate, found in plasma could help identify those young people at high risk of cardiovascular disease The study offers fresh insights in the field of cardiovascular risk biomarkers among the young, and… Seguir Leyendo Scientists show that succinate, a small molecule identifiable in plasma, helps predict cardiovascular disease in young people
Scientists from the UGR have participated in an international study analysing the benefits and detriments linked to wild ungulates on a global scale The benefits to humans most commonly associated with wild ungulates—such as deer, hippos, wild boar, or giraffes—are hunting (and the food-source it represents for many communities) and their aesthetic value. This is… Seguir Leyendo Study finds a growing appreciation of the benefits provided by hoofed animals
The study, conducted by researchers from the UGR and the company Notaliv Cosmética Natural, will be aimed at people who have to wear an ostomy pouch (mainly following colon/rectal cancer), which is a small bag that collects the waste eliminated by the body The deterioration of the peristomal skin (the area of skin surrounding the… Seguir Leyendo Scientists to study the efficacy of natural products made with olive oil on the skin of people with ostomies
