Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiomyopathy, affecting approximately 1 in 500 people. It is the most common genetic cardiomyopathy inherited as a Mendelian trait in approximately 50% of patients, mainly due to pathogenic variants in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Mutations in the sarcomeric protein filamin C (FLNC) gene, with a cytogenetic localization on 7q32.1, have been linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as they have been determined to increase the risk of ventricular a [...]

The aim of this study is to explore the basic demographic features and characteristics of users of homeopathy services. The setting is a student teaching tele-health facility based in [...]

Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi and molds, have negative health impacts on both humans and animals. They are commonly found in foods such as nuts, coffee, cereals, and grains, particularly in regions with warm, humid climates. Among the most prevalent mycotoxins in these foods are aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, patulin, and deoxynivalenol (DON). The presence of mold capable of producing mycotoxins within food contributes to an elevated risk of various illnesses, including those r [...]
