Portugal won three medals at the 19th edition of the Ibero-American Biology Olympiads, which took place in Brazil. The competition brought together delegations from more than 15 countries, all competing in the tests throughout the event.

The Portuguese team achieved this strong final result by participating in this international competition aimed exclusively at Secondary School students.

This type of olympiad serves to recognize the best biology students at the Ibero-American level, promoting academic excellence in this scientific field among young secondary school students from the participating countries.

What is 'toasted skin syndrome', increasingly common in children

Toasted skin syndrome, also known as Erythema Ab Igne (EAI), is a burn caused by prolonged exposure to low-intensity heat. Traditionally associated with the use of hot water bottles and heating pads, the condition has become increasingly common in children due to heat emitted by electronic devices such as computers, phones and laptops. A case review published by a researcher from Leicester NHS Trust reports the case of a child who arrived at the emergency room with a rash without apparent causes, returning two weeks later with worsening symptoms including pain on touch and peeling. Doctors warn about the need for awareness regarding the risks of prolonged use of electronic devices near the skin.

Bibiano Costa Launches Unprecedented Method to Study Prime Numbers at São Paulo Book Fair

Amazonas professor Bibiano Silva da Costa presented at the São Paulo Book Fair on September 7 his book "The Method of Sequences A and B and the Equations that Determine Only Prime Numbers," published by Autografia Editora. The work, the result of decades of studies and more than 40 years dedicated to teaching mathematics, proposes a new method to observe the distribution of prime numbers through so-called sequences A and B and mathematical relationships developed by the author. The method organizes numbers and identifies composites through sums and equations, presenting the remaining numbers as primes, in addition to addressing semiprimes and seeking to make the study of these numbers more accessible.
