Figurante, com o mesmo sorriso que era tão ou mais cativante do que sua interpretação vocal.
No Coral da Associação Médica do Rio Grande do Sul
Vera, colega dela no Coral lembrou: apresentação do coro do Nabucco de Verdi, o "Va pensiero", quando nos vestimos como ela está na foto, como refugiados judeus lamentando a perda da pátria. Doce lembrança.
Na próxima semana (setembro, 15) completam-se 3 meses que ela se foi, para não mais voltar a cantar, nem sorrir..

Even animals that are so simple that they lack brains need their sleep.
Sleep is remarkably universal, with a wide range of animals exhibiting the state, even down to insects and nematodes.
Now, a team led by researchers at Kyushu University in Japan has observed a sleep-like state in hydra — a surprising finding that given that hydra lack a central nervous system./.../
Nonsense words can be recognizable to people around the world — and not just when they’re onomatopoeic. Researchers asked English-speaking people, mostly from the United States, to make up sounds to represent a wide range of concepts, including ‘sleep’, ‘tiger’, ‘many’ and ‘good’. These vocalizations were played for volunteers in 7 countries, who spoke a total of 28 languages, and had to guess the sounds’ meanings from a list of options. Across the board, people guessed the intended meanings at rates better than chance. The findings might hint at ‘iconic’ sounds that serve as the foundations for language.

What is new in GBD 2019?
• Non-fatal data have been updated for a subset of causes including ischaemic heart disease and heart failure.
• In order to better represent population-level disease prevalence, new adjustments were developed and applied to
administrative health facility data for causes that are subcategories of cardiovascular disease.
• Adjustment for alternative study methods and case definitions were applied to data before analysis in DisMod-MR.
These adjustments varied by cause and case definition and were implemented using our MR-BRT modelling tool.
Cardiovascular diseases—Level 2 cause
Summary Cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 393 million (95% UI 368–417) DALYs in 2019, and were the leading Level 2 cause
of disease burden. Overall, there were 18·6 million (17·1–19·7) deaths due to cardiovascular diseases in both sexes combined in 2019.
Definition This aggregate cause incorporates death and disability resulting from 11 cardiovascular causes, led by ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and
hypertensive heart disease, as well as disability due to heart failure. Both atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are included.

#Da Academia Sul-Riograndense de Medicina
O palestrante da Sessão será o Jornalista Ricardo Chaves, fotógrafo, com passagem em jornais e revistas nacionais, incluídas Veja e Isto é, atualmente em Zero Hora. Participou de várias exposições fotográficas, tem obras no acervo do Masp e livro autobiográfico premiado. Atualmente, edita em ZH a página de memória Almanaque Gaúcho. Ele nos falará sobre sua trajetória no fotojornalismo.
Esperamos que a reunião, agora destacando a fotografia, represente mais um momento de aprendizado e congraçamento. Sintam-se à vontade para convidar familiares e amigos, que serão bem-vindos no ambiente da Academia Sul-Rio-Grandense de Medicina.
Este e-mail tem o propósito de "Save the Date". No dia 13 de setembro, véspera da Sessão, os senhores receberão cópia deste e-mail e link de acesso.
In science, explanations like evolution are accepted or rejected based on evidence – and in that sphere, evolutionary theory has more than proven its worth. However, in the public sphere, particularly in the United States, evolutionary theory has not fared so well. Between around 1950 and 2007, surveys suggest that less than half of American adults accepted evolution. But that is changing. Researchers just announced that, over the last decade, we crossed over the halfway mark: the majority of American adults surveyed now report accepting evolution as an explanation for humans. Here, we’ll focus on the evolutionary science that accompanied this uptick in acceptance. Get the whole story here.

Michael Freedman’s momentous 1981 proof of the four-dimensional Poincaré conjecture was on the verge of being lost. The editors of a new book are trying to save it.
Karen Miga Fills In the Missing Pieces of Our Genome
By CARRIE ARNOLD
Driven by her fascination with highly repetitive, hard-to-read parts of our DNA, Karen Miga led a coalition of researchers to finish sequencing the human genome after almost two decades.
One Lab’s Quest to Build Space-Time Out of Quantum Particles
By ADAM BECKER
Physicists have pondered how the fabric of space-time may emerge from some kind of quantum entanglement. In Monika Schleier-Smith’s lab at Stanford University, the thought experiment is becoming real.
To Learn More Quickly, Brain Cells Break Their DNA
By JORDANA CEPELEWICZ
New work shows that neurons and other brain cells use DNA double-strand breaks, often associated with cancer and aging, to quickly express genes related to learning and memory.
Computational neuroscientists taught an artificial neural network to imitate a biological neuron. The result offers a new way to think about the complexity of single brain cells.
Molded Differently Slime molds — single-celled organisms that can collaborate to solve mazes, recreate maps of the Tokyo railway network, and more — challenge our notion of individuality, Lacy Johnson writes in an essay for Orion Magazine. The amoebas also challenge biologists’ notion of cognition, Katia Moskvitch reported for Quanta in 2018. Slime molds show signs of learning and remembering, all without a single brain cell.
New Hope for Nine If the solar system’s fringe hides a super-Earth, it may be larger and closer than astronomers had thought, Nadia Drake reports for National Geographic. That’s good news for those hunting for the hypothesized Planet Nine beyond the orbit of Pluto. The world’s inferred characteristics had previously put it right at the edge of what was feasible to detect with optical telescopes, Charlie Wood reported for Quanta in 2018.
A Quantum Route to Randomness Researchers have created a SIM card-sized chip that uses the quantum behavior of photons to pull off a feat impossible for standard computers: creating truly random numbers, Pradeep Niroula reports for Physics World. Because genuinely random numbers are a scarce resource, generating them could be the first commercial application for quantum computers. Anil Ananthaswamy wrote about two schemes for doing so for Quanta in 2019.
Evolution, Fast and Slow Animals are “shapeshifting” as the planet warms, Helena Horton reports for The Guardian. Birds in particular are rapidly evolving larger beaks, legs and wings that can radiate heat more efficiently. While the observed pace of evolution tends to be slow over eons, biologists are finding abundant evidence that more frantic adaptation can often occur over just a few generations, Carrie Arnold reported for Quanta in 2017.
