With the growth of Red House Ipiranga, the school sought a new space to accommodate its elementary school students. The school's first unit was located in a nearby house, a heritage property that underwent renovations and restorations to become a welcoming environment for children. The major challenge in this new phase was finding a space that met the educational needs of the institution without losing the unique and historic character of the neighborhood.Save this picture!Situated in Ipiranga, one of So Paulo's most iconic neighborhoods, the new building chosen is an architectural example from the 1930s. The house, built between 1933 and 1934 by the Jafet family, has a timeless charm that aligns perfectly with the educational proposal of Red House Ipiranga. Upon entering the property located at Rua Bom Pastor, number 825, it felt like a predestined encounter: the house, in excellent condition, turned out to be the ideal space for the school's new unit.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The adaptation project aimed to integrate the functional needs of education with respect for the historical characteristics of the house. We preserved the original architectural elements, ensuring that the beauty of the property, both inside and out, was maintained. The proposal included creating classrooms and spaces for other activities, respecting the original layout of the house while simultaneously creating suitable environments for learning.Save this picture!Among the interventions, the restoration of the fountain, one of the property's most significant symbols, stands out. It had been deactivated for years, and its reactivation brought back an important historical and aesthetic element to the space. Additionally, we renewed the gardens, restoring the landscape beauty that has always been part of the property's identity.Save this picture!With the adaptation of the new space, Red House Ipiranga not only expanded its facilities but also reaffirmed its commitment to preserving the historical memory of the neighborhood, providing its students with an environment that reflects the harmony between tradition and innovation in the educational process.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:R.

  • Poop pills tested in pancreatic cancer patients
    www.popsci.com
    A research team at Canadas Lawson Research Institute of St. Josephs Health Care London and the London Health Sciences Center Research Institute (LHSCRI) is readying a two-year Phase I safety trial in which a small group of cancer patients will receive fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)aka poop pills. Although the less-than-appetizing supplements are still in their early stages of development, the innovative approach has already shown promise in boosting recovery chances for other forms of cancer like melanoma.Pancreatic cancer remains difficult to treat, and is responsible for around 8 percent of all cancer deaths.It also has one of the lower longterm survival rates with only about 13 percent of patients surviving more than five years. Part of this is due to the ecosystems surrounding cancerous tumors, which possess their own microbial communities that include fungi, viruses, and bacteria. These systems can make certain cancers more resistant to chemotherapy regimens. In recent years, researchers began wondering if altering these microbial populations could make tumors more receptive to existing treatment options.Fecal transplants as a medical tool arent new. In fact, increasing evidence suggests poop-based medications may improve peoples resilence against superbugs and other dangerous health problems. Since the FDAs approval of the first fecal transplant pills in 2023, many experts are hopeful that adapting it and similar innovations could help treat particularly resistant cancers.Fecal microbiota transplantation isnt nearly as gross as it sounds. First, stool samples are collected from prescreened health donors before being processed in a lab. During the standard procedure, the stool is filtered for its helpful bacterial contents while the remaining material is discarded. The resulting odorless and tasteless solution is packed into LND101 capsules, The pancreatic cancer patients will take the pills on a specific dosage calendar. From there, experts will study how the gut biomes of trial volunteers change over time, and how that may affect their overall immune systems while battling cancer.Our goal is to determine whether a successful shift in the gut microbiome is connected to a better response to chemotherapy, study co-lead Saman Maleki said in St. Josephs Health Care London profile on February 26.According to trial collaborator Seema Nair Parvathy, earlier studies indicate fecal microbiota transplantation has helped improve outcomes for patients with advanced lung, renal cell, and skin cancers. But the team stressed their clinical studies are only possible through the help of poop donors. As they enter trials, researchers are seeking volunteers between the ages of 18 and 50 who havent taken antibiotics in at least six months, are not immunocompromised, and do not have chronic gastrointestinal disorders.The post Poop pills tested in pancreatic cancer patients appeared first on Popular Science.

  • Save 52% off this EF EcoFlow solar generator right now and get ready for the next power outage
    www.popsci.com
    We have had a few inconvenient power outages here in Upstate New York, which has made our solar generator extremely useful. I can plug in our router and my laptop to keep telling our dear readers about good deals and excellent new gym headphones. Right now, Walmart has the excellent EF EcoFlow Delta 2 Lite portable power station on-sale for just $439, which is down from its retail price of $899 and $60 cheaper than I have seen it anywhere else this year. Amazon has it for $499 with a coupon at the moment. If you dont already have a portable power station like this, now is a great time to grab one before the next storm (or fun camping trip) rolls through.EF EcoFlow Portable Power Station DELTA 2 Lite 950Wh LFP $439 (was $899)EF EcoFlow This 27-pound power bank is extremely portable, thanks especially to its burly built-in handles. It easily fits in just about any car trunk and it can charge up to 15 devices at once if you utilize all of its built-in ports. It offers full-on AC outlets, as well as USB-A and USB-C ports to charge just about anything. The built-in battery isnt an older lithium-ion, but rather a more modern LiPo battery which will last for many more charges. When its time to recharge the internal battery, it goes from 0 to 80 percent in just 50 minutes, so you can top it off quickly before you head out or when you know a storm is coming. You can buy optional solar panels to charge without access to an AC outlet.This is a great thing to have on-hand, so dont wait on getting one. More solar generator and portable power station deals
