The law of time

oglobo4 September 2026 at 08:30

The author of this article was at the Palace of the Presidency for the signing ceremony of Bill No. 5,972/2023, which provides for the expansion of the availability of thrombolytic medications in the emergency and urgency network of the Unified Health System (SUS). The ceremony was brief, as is common at this type of event.

The Bill deals with the provision of thrombolytic medications, used to dissolve clots, in emergency situations. The text highlights that these minutes of care can represent the difference between recovery and disability, or between life and death for patients.

The new rule will aim to bring thrombolysis to the Emergency Care Units (UPAs) and the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu), expanding the population's access to this treatment.

However, the success of the measure will depend on the adequate implementation of protocols, the performance of rapid diagnostics, and the guarantee of transport of patients to health units.

Social jetlag: sleeping more on weekends can increase anxiety in teenagers, new study shows

A new meta-analysis published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews found that teenagers between 12 and 18 years old who sleep more on weekends may have higher levels of anxiety. Analyzing data from more than 235,000 young people and eight studies on the topic, researchers identified a link between the so-called "social jetlag" — the discrepancy between the teenager's biological clock and the school routine — and anxiety symptoms such as worry and restlessness. The greater the difference between sleep schedules during the week and on weekends, the more likely young people are to report higher levels of anxiety, reinforcing the importance of sleep as one of the pillars of mental health in adolescence.

Einstein's "happiest thought" passed the first test in the quantum world

An international team of researchers announced the first successful observation of the effect of gravity on a quantum object in free fall, in a study published in Science Advances. This experimental result demonstrates for the first time, more than a century after Einstein's prediction in 1907, the link between gravity and the quantum world — the physicist's so-called "happiest thought." However, the researchers emphasize that this experiment does not unify quantum mechanics with gravity, nor does it prove that gravity is a quantum phenomenon, but it provides experimental support for the idea that both domains are connected.
