The body against itself: what are autoimmune diseases?

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system attacks its own cells and tissues. This phenomenon of "self-aggression" can affect various body systems, resulting in varied symptoms that are sometimes difficult to identify.

Among the most common warning signs are persistent fatigue, joint pain and unexplained skin changes. These symptoms can have many different causes, which makes diagnosis challenging.

The article warns that in some cases these symptoms may be related to an autoimmune disease, highlighting the importance of recognizing the warning signs and seeking adequate medical evaluation for a correct diagnosis.

More steps reduce early death risk, but walking pace also matters

New research has revealed that it is not only the number of daily steps that contributes to reducing the risk of early death, but also the pace of walking. The study shows that people who walk with greater intensity, even if they take fewer steps, obtain superior health benefits compared to those who walk more steps but more slowly. This discovery highlights the importance of considering the speed and intensity of physical activity, in addition to the total volume of daily movement, as a determining factor for longevity.

In the North, the past and present of verbs sound the same. Why?

The article explores two linguistic questions of Portuguese: minderico, a code used by traders in the Beira Baixa region, questioning whether it has already evolved into its own language, and vowel neutralisation in the North of Portugal, where unstressed vowels become identical, making words like "falamos" and "falámos" sound exactly the same. Marco Neves analyses these linguistic phenomena.
