Expressão não verbal ajuda a diagnosticar a depressão Pesquisa realizada na USP investigou um conjunto de parâmetros corporais que podem ser utilizados na caracterização e na avaliação do tratamento do transtorno (Mulher do povo, Pedro Lira (1910)/Wikimedia Commons) 22 de fevereiro de 2016 José Tadeu Arantes | Agência FAPESP – Segundo projeção da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), a depressão alcançará, na década de 2030, a primeira posição entre as doenças com maior prevalência no mundo. O transtorno já afeta cerca de 7% da população mundial, conforme informou o ex-secretário-geral das Nações Unidas Kofi Annan, na abertura do seminário "The Global Crisis of Depression" (A Crise Global da Depressão), promovido pela revista The Economist no final de 2014. A alta incidência da doença no Brasil foi confirmada por levantamento mais recente, a Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, divulgada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) e pelo Ministério da Saúde (MS) em 2014.

Guidance - Regional Policy The European Commission has suggested a more results – oriented approach for EU cohesion funding in its legislative proposals for 2014 - 2020. Evaluating EU cohesion policy Guidance Documents for the 2014 – 2020 funding period Impact evaluation centre In any programme, the crucial questions are "what do you want to change?" Impact evaluation in DG Regional Policy falls into two broad categories: The "Theory-based" impact approach, which follows each step of the intervention logic and focuses on the mechanisms leading to the observed change, is particularly appropriate for answering the questions "why?" The two approaches are complementary and the most useful impact evaluations draw on a mix of methods: counterfactual methods to quantitatively estimate an impact, theory-based methods to understand the underlying mechanisms and the context of an intervention thus helping to modify or generalize it to other contexts. Conterfactual approach Theory-based approach Guidance Documents 2007-2013

Once you know the correct terms you can dissect any subject. In this section we will provide you with some basic vocabulary and information to help you learn about the jewelry industry so that you can make an informed purchase. Above all other gemstones, Diamonds elicit a human response that transcends time and place. A diamond is crystalline carbon in which the carbon atoms bind together in a close-packed cubic arrangement which gives the diamond structure that of an octahedron. Logically, the Four C’s directly affect monetary value of a diamond. Here is more about the Four C’s: Diamonds, as all other gemstones, are measured using the metric unit of mass the carat. The cut of the diamond depends upon ideal proportions and accurate alignment of the facets in order to create light refraction which makes the diamond sparkle. The shape of a diamond affects the cut more than any other factor. Colorless diamonds are graded D-E-F
Improve Gut Microbiome: Optimize Valuable Mitochondrial Production By: Dr. Michael Lam, MD, MPH; Justin Lam, ABAAHP, FMNM Energy: it’s what we need to live. Some of the body’s processes, like respiration and digestion, revolve around getting and producing energy for the other processes of life. Energy: it’s what we need to live. Much of the body’s energy – over 90 percent – comes from the mitochondria in cells. One way to ensure high functioning mitochondria is to improve gut microbiome health. It’s very important to support the mitochondria’s energy production with diet, lifestyle and special supplementation when needed. Consider the cardiovascular system at its most basic level. Another example: even though one of the functions of sleep is to conserve energy, many of your bodily processes are still functioning and need energy. What Exactly is a Mitochondrion? The word mitochondrion, which is singular for mitochondria, comes from the Greek words “mitos” – meaning threads – and “chondrion” – meaning granule. The answer is yes to both questions. Dr.
Exercício físico intenso pode antecipar morte de células do sistema imunológico Estudo investiga em competidores de triatlo mecanismos que levam à morte precoce de neutrófilos (fotos: Wikimedia) 11 de maio de 2016 Diego Freire | Agência FAPESP – Pesquisadores descobriram que o exercício físico intenso pode acelerar o processo de apoptose – a morte celular programada – dos neutrófilos, células do sistema imunológico. Importante para o equilíbrio do funcionamento do organismo, a apoptose é um mecanismo que deve ocorrer de forma ordenada – do contrário, há danos à saúde, como quando células tumorais, que deveriam morrer naturalmente, persistem. “Várias células do nosso organismo estão morrendo agora para que outras novas ocupem seu lugar. Os neutrófilos são um subgrupo dos leucócitos, também chamados de glóbulos brancos, células encontradas no sangue cuja função é proteger o organismo contra agentes causadores de doenças, como bactérias. Os neutrófilos, tipo celular de interesse da pesquisa, foram isolados do sangue coletado. Alternativas terapêuticas
Gemology Online: Dictionary Diamond Terms Dictionary of Diamond Terms American Gem Society (AGS): An educational institution for gemological studies. The AGS Labs were created primarily to develop and promote universally-accepted standards for grading cut. Blemish: A clarity characteristic that occurs on the surface of a diamond. Fancy Shape: Any diamond shape other than round. For example, shapes such as pears, marquises or hearts may be cut with extremely thick girdles at their points (and at the cleft, in the case of a heart) in order to protect these delicates corners from damage. Heart-shape Cut: A type of fancy diamond cut, which is cut to resemble the popular Valentine's Day shape. Since diamonds are resistant to acids, the solution actually dissolves the included crystal while leaving the diamond completely unharmed. Length-to-width ratio: A comparison of how much longer a diamond is than it is wide. Oval Cut: A type of fancy shape diamond which is essentially an elongated version of a round cut.

Mitochondrial Enzymes Link A. Parvulum and Crohn's Disease | Taconic Biosciences Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Recent attention has focused on the potential role of the microbiome in Crohn's, with a microbial network involving A. parvulum seemingly indicated in T cell activation and intestinal damage due to reduced mitochondrial H2S detoxification. Identifying Microbial Changes in New-Onset Crohn's Disease Multiple studies have shown that the intestinal microbiome is altered in Crohn's; however, it has been difficult to conclude whether these changes are causative, or merely a byproduct of chronic long-term inflammation. To address this problem, a recent study by Mottawea et al. focused on new-onset Crohn's disease in children1. Like other studies using this approach,2,3 the authors identified a distinct microbial profile associated with disease. Transkingdom Analysis Links Mitochondrial Function to A.
