Influence of chia and flaxseeds on acrylamide formation in sweet bakery products.

Despite potential health benefits of cookies with seeds, e.g., antioxidant and anticholesterolemic activity, their baking may lead to processing contaminants.

Thin Films of Lanthanide Stearates as Modifiers of the Q-Sense Device Sensor for Studying Insulin Adsorption.

This article presents new possibilities of using thin films of lanthanide stearates as sorbent materials. Modification of the Q-sense device resonator with monolayers of lanthanide stearates by the Langmuir-Schaeffer method made it possible to study the process of insulin protein adsorption on the surface of new thin-film sorbents. The resulting films were also characterized by compression isotherms, chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and mass spectrometry.

Improving the performance of small amputations in complicated forms of diabetic foot.

The aim of the study was comparative assessment of the effectiveness of typical and atypical amputations at the level of footstep in patients with the most complicated course of the diabetic foot syndrome (DFS). The patients suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 and purulo-necrotic complications of the DFS, treated in the surgical department of the № 1 Pirogov National Surgical and Medical Center of the Sankt Petersburg Clinical Complex were investigated. The study group included 68 patients who underwent atypical surgical interventions taking into account blood flow angiosomes of footstep tissues.
