Membrane proteins play crucial roles in cellular functions. However, processes such as the insertion of membrane proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), their folding into native structures, the assembly of multi-subunit membrane protein complexes, and their targeting from the ER to specific organelles are prone to errors and have a relatively high failure rate. To prevent the accumulation of defective or orphaned membrane proteins, quality control mechanisms assess folding, quantity, and localization of these proteins. This quality control is vital for preserving organelle integrity and maintaining cellular health. In this mini-review, we will focus on how selective membrane protein quality control at the Golgi apparatus, particularly through the defective for SREBP cleavage (Dsc) ubiquitin ligase complex, detects orphaned proteins and prevents their mis-localization to other organelles.

Freezing extends the shelf life of foods but often leads to structural damage due to ice crystal formation, negatively impacting quality attributes. Oscillating magnetic field (OMF)-assisted supercooling has emerged as a potential technique to overcome these limitations by inhibiting ice nucleation and maintaining foods in a supercooled state. Despite its potential, the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of OMF-assisted supercooling remain subjects of debate.

Fraud in alcoholic beverages through counterfeiting and adulteration is rising, significantly impacting companies economically. This study aimed to develop a method using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (1596-2396 nm) through the bottle, along with machine learning (ML) modeling for beer authentication, quality traits, and control assessment. For this study, 25 commercial beers from different brands, styles, and three types of fermentation were used.

In this cross-sectional analysis, we explored how fluctuations in glycemic levels impact executive functions and psychosocial outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The goal was to understand the relationship between glycemic control and both neuropsychological and psychosocial health. We stratified participants into well-controlled and poorly controlled groups based on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and variability, including a healthy control group for comparison.

Department of Public Health and Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice, Kosice, Slovak Republic.

Objectives: Urinary incontinence is an extremely stressful and often debilitating disease, increasing morbidity in society. The aim of the work is to point out the problems of the management of incontinent patients - seniors in the context of their quality of life as well as treatment costs to find ways to make the widest possible public awareness of the fact that in most cases incontinence is solvable in terms of improving the quality of life.

Methods: The group consisted of 100 patients with urinary incontinence who were treated with conservative medical procedures at the urological outpatient clinic of the Railway Hospital in Košice.
