Reheating food, a common practice in everyday life, poses risks to nutritional quality and health. Different methods, such as microwave, boiling and steaming, affect the organoleptic properties and generate unwanted compounds. Although microwave reheating has demonstrated improved sensory performance, concerns remain about nutrient loss and formation of unknown substances. This study focuses on nutritional macromolecules (starch, lipids and proteins), analyzing structural and functional changes under microwave heating. It also examines the taste, health benefits, potential risks, and bidirectional allergenicity associated with this method. Despite the growing popularity of microwaveable foods in daily life, there are divergent opinions about their effects on nutrition and health.   Recent research compares reheating methods, such as microwave, boiling, steaming, and open flame, high...

Breast sarcoma (SM) is a rare cancer that affects the connective tissue of the breast. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with a tumor in the right breast initially diagnosed as sarcoma by biopsy, but at the time of performing the mastectomy, the pathological analysis of the surgical specimen reported carcinoma, due to which the breasts were removed. axillary lymph nodes, which was later corrected to sarcoma by immunohistochemical studies. The patient underwent total mastectomy and axillary lymph node resection, followed by chemotherapy. Tumor necrosis, indicative of an aggressive tumor, complicated surgical management. The discordance in diagnosis underlines the importance of advanced techniques for accurate conclusion and timely treatment. Despite the size of the tumor and the aggressiveness of the sarcoma, the patient did not experience recurrence during post-treatment follow-...

Down syndrome is a pathology that, according to WHO, has a high worlwide and national incidence, frequently associated with congenital heart defects. It affects the human genetic material and it is caused by the nondisjunction of chromosome 21 (XY, + 21 or XX, + 21) or other alterations associated with the same chromosome (mosaicism, translocation). It manifests itself with peculiar characteristics in various areas of the body, among which congenital heart disease stands out, mainly atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD), caused by mutations in the CRELD1 gene. This gene contains 9 exons, encodes cell adhesion molecules and at the same time acts as a regulator of the calcineurin / NFATc1 signaling pathway, thus allowing correct cardiac morphogenesis. On the other hand,  DS  brings  with  it  defects in  the  immune  and  respiratory system,&nb...
