Cientistas da Mayo desenvolvem teste caseiro com swab para cânceres de endométrio e de ovário
Mayo Clinic

A detecção precoce ajuda nos resultados do tratamento para os cânceres de endométrio e de ovário, mas muitas vezes as mulheres são diagnosticadas em fases avançadas dessas doenças. Ao contrário de muitos outros tipos de câncer, não existem exames padrões para a detecção precoce dos cânceres de endométrio e de ovário. É esperado que a taxa de incidência de câncer de endométrio aumente, impulsionada por fatores ambientais, de obesidade e diabetes.

Abandoned farmlands could play a role in fighting climate change. A new study shows exactly where they are.
University of Wisconsin–Madison

Farmland is often a battleground in the fight against climate change.Solar panels and energy crops are pitted against food production, while well-intended policy choices can create incentives for farmers to till up new lands, releasing even more heat-trapping gas into the atmosphere.That’s why strategies for sustainable plant-based fuels focus on marginal lands — fields that are too hard to cultivate or don’t produce good enough yields to be considered profitable.

Johns Hopkins Medicine

Over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of depression in adolescents and young adults — and a simultaneous uptick in the inclusion of technology and social media in everyday life. However, it is unclear how exactly social media use and depression are associated and relate to other behaviors, such as physical activity, green space exposure, cannabis use and eveningness (the tendency to stay up late).
