  • and advancements in science in developed countries have made it possible for people affected by this syndrome to live longer, but an extended life span has brought with it Alzheimer's disease (AD), which exacerbates the cognitive decline in these individuals. (bvsalud.org)

  • Third, an assumed potential benefit of precision medicine (predicated on accurate and meaningful risk prediction) is that disease in the population can be avoided or forestalled by large numbers of individuals who, when provided with accurate risk prediction, will change their behavior to mitigate their personal risk. (cdc.gov)
  • Although this may seem intuitively plausible, current data suggest that individuals do not change their behavior much even when they become aware of being in a high-risk group. (cdc.gov)

  • Now the teams of ecologist, Jean Paul Metzger and zoologist Renata Pardini, both from the University of São Paulo (USP), have found that for each group of animals living in this patchwork landscape, there is a point of no return, a minimum limit of native vegetation cover that needs to remain standing in order to maintain the variety of species in a particular region.

  • Alongside becoming less central in the social network, older females were generally found with smaller home ranges, farther from the centre of the population, in areas of lower density, and with lower-quality grazing. (eurekalert.org)
  • Several articles in the years that followed popularised one suggestion that the Bloop might have been the sound of an unknown animal due to the "organic" nature of the noise, a theory that elevated the Bloop to the level of a great unsolved mystery. (cedointercultural.org)
