Waxy Oleogels for Partial Substitution of Solid Fat in Margarines.

One of the research directions of oleogels is to study the possibility of their practical application in the food industry as an alternative to solid fats. In this work, the possibility of replacing solid fat in margarine (fat content 82.5%) with oleogels was evaluated.

Ultrasonic Treatment of Food Colloidal Systems Containing Oleogels: A Review.

The use of oleogels as an alternative to solid fats to reduce the content of saturated and -isomeric fatty acids is a developing area of research. Studies devoted to the search for methods of obtaining oleogels with given properties are of current interest. Ultrasonic treatment as a method for modifying oleogel properties has been used to solve this problem.

[Prediction of melting temperatures of wax gelators depending on their component composition].

The study of wax gelators is a new direction with the potential for use in foods for special dietary uses. Waxes of both plant and animal origin, which consist of various combinations of organic compounds: hydrocarbons, wax esters, free fatty acids and free higher alcohols, are among the studied ones. One of the main characteristics of these gelling agents is their melting point, which largely depends on the component composition of the wax.

[Formation of the organoleptic profile of sugar cookies with a modified fat component].

Currently, as part of solving the problems of improving the quality and safety of food, research is underway on the introduction of oleogels into foodstuffs to replace solid fats, which contain saturated and trans-isomeric fatty acids. However, such a replacement leads to a change in the organoleptic characteristics of food. of the work was to identify the characteristics that affect the difference in the perception of cookie descriptors baked using hard fat and oleogels.

[Efficacy of newly developed food for special dietary use in the diet of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis].

Although diet plays a leading role in treatment of non-alcoholic fatty disease (and, in particular, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis), specialized foods for the treatment of these patients have not yet been developed. of the study was to assess efficacy of the food for special dietary use (FSDU) in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. .

The Influence of Edible Oils' Composition on the Properties of Beeswax-Based Oleogels.

This study aimed to find relationships between the properties of beeswax-based oleogels and the type of oil used. The influence of linseed, sunflower, olive, and fish oils was studied. For these oils, the fatty acid composition, the content of total polar components, and the iodine value were characterized.

A Study of the Quantitative Relationship between Yield Strength and Crystal Size Distribution of Beeswax Oleogels.

Beeswax and beeswax hydrocarbon-based oleogels were studied to evaluate the quantitative relationship between their yield strength and crystal size distribution. With this aim, oleogels were prepared using four different cooling regimes to obtain different crystal size distributions. The microstructure was evaluated by polarized light microscopy.

Propensity-matched analysis does not support angiosome-guided revascularization of multilevel peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Background: This retrospective comparative cohort study evaluated the clinical outcome of angiosome-guided endovascular arterial reconstructions in chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) due to multilevel peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Methods: Patients treated in an endovascular fashion for CLTI with tissue loss due to multilevel PAD were analyzed. Limbs were classified as having undergone either angiosome-guided (direct) revascularization (DR) or nonangiosomic (indirect) revascularization (IR).

[Oleogels as prospective nutritional ingredients of lipid nature].

The composition of the lipid component of consumed foods affects the consumers' health. Fats are not only a source of essential fatty acids, but also participate in the formation of the organoleptic and rheological properties of foodstuffs. At the same time, fats are sources of saturated and trans-isomeric fatty acids, which excessive consumption is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and therefore, it is relevant to search for promising ways to replace such fats.

Popliteal Artery Angioplasty for Chronic Total Occlusions with versus without the Distal Landing Zone.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with critical limb ischemia due to popliteal artery (PA) chronic total occlusions depending on the presence of a patent portion of the PA distal to the occlusive lesion-the distal landing zone (DLZ).

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients with critical limb ischemia (all Rutherford class 5-6), who underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting for PA chronic total occlusions with no inflow disease. Baseline demographic and clinical variables, periprocedural outcome, 12-month overall survival, limb salvage, primary patency, freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR), amputation-free survival, and freedom from major adverse limb events in DLZ versus no-DLZ lesions were assessed.

Factors Related to Migraine Patients' Decisions to Initiate Behavioral Migraine Treatment Following a Headache Specialist's Recommendation: A Prospective Observational Study.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency with which migraine patients initiated behavioral migraine treatment following a headache specialist recommendation and the predictors for initiating behavioral migraine treatment.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of consecutive patients diagnosed with migraine to examine whether the patients initiated behavioral migraine treatment following a provider recommendation. The primary outcome was scheduling the initial visit for behavioral migraine treatment.

Multigene panels in Ashkenazi Jewish patients yield high rates of actionable mutations in multiple non-BRCA cancer-associated genes.

Objective: To evaluate the results of multigene panel testing among Ashkenazi Jewish compared with non-Ashkenazi Jewish patients.

Methods: We reviewed the medical records for all patients who underwent multigene panel testing and targeted BRCA1/2 testing at a single institution between 6/2013-1/2015. Clinical actionability for identified pathogenic mutations was characterized based on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines and consensus statements and expert opinion for genes not addressed by these guidelines.
