#CARLOS MACHADO FEHLBERG+ (ZH)

Mais um de nossa turma da FAMED/URGS 1958 que se foi...

Médico por profissão, jornalista por paixão e vocação, ele foi uma presença importante por muito tempo na direção de redação de ZH. Deixou suas marcas de responsabilidade, dignidade e respeito pela profissão. Saudade do Fehlberg e de suas lições para tantos jovens que com ele aprenderam e deram seguimento ao seu trabalho na RBS - disse Jayme Sirotsky, presidente emérito do Grupo RBS.

In 2017 Viviane Callier wrote for Quanta about how the ancient remnants of genetic junk were repurposed for culling cancerous cells before they can grow. Magma in the Meditteranean Researchers just discovered a growing magma chamber beneath a submarine volcano near Santorini, Greece. Measurements suggest that it could cause a devastating eruption within the next 150 years, reports JoAnna Wendel for Live Science. Mapping the flow of magma underground is important for predicting future eruptions and understanding what drives them. In a 2021 story for Quanta, Robin George Andrews wrote about a massive mantle plume that was responsible for a vast portion of Earth’s volcanic activity.

A decline in smoking rates has contributed to a decrease in cancer deaths in the United States. (solidcolours/Getty)

Cancer deaths down 33% since 1991 Cancer mortality in the United States has dropped by 33% since 1991, equivalent to around 3.8 million lives. A decline in smoking rates, increases in human papillomavirus vaccination and the success of new treatments such as immunotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy are behind the trend, according to the American Cancer Society. It predicts that, in 2023, there will be an estimated 1.96 million new cancer cases in the United States — around 5,370 each day.
