Investigation of the chemical composition, physicochemical properties, and microstructure of meat patties with amaranth flour

This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding amaranth flour to meat patties on their chemical composition. Four different variations of meat patties were prepared, with amaranth flour added at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15% in place of beef. The control sample was prepared without any addition. The results of the study showed that the addition of amaranth flour led to a significant decrease in the moisture content of the meat patties, while the proportions of carbohydrates, fat, and ash increased. Specifically, the patties with the highest concentration of amaranth flour (15%) had the highest proportions of carbohydrates and fat with the lowest proportion of moisture. The control sample had the highest moisture content and the lowest proportion of carbohydrates, fat, and ash. The addition of amaranth flour increased the water-holding capacity of the meat patties, with the highest increase observed in the sample with 15% amaranth flour (82.21%). The overall score of sensory evaluation of the meat patties did not significantly decrease with the addition of up to 10% amaranth flour, according to the sensory evaluation. The study provides evidence that up to 10% amaranth flour can be used as a substitute for beef in meat patties, which can lead to an increase in the fat and carbohydrate content and mineral composition and improvement of the water-holding capacity of the final product

MODERN APPROACHES IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND CONSERVING THERAPY OF ADENOMYOSIS

At this point in modern gynecology there are no uniform standards in the diagnosis and treatment of adenomyosis. This problem requires special attention, since there is a tendency to increase the incidence of this disease, especially in younger women. The paper presents the data in the literature about the different methods of diagnosis (hysteroscopy, ultrasound, MRI), and provides criteria for evaluation of these methods. Of greatest interest are the data of foreign authors on a new method of treatment of adenomyosis – magnetic resonance- guided focused ultrasound surgery

REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION OF WOMEN AFTER CONSERVATIVE MYOMECTOMY WITH THE IMPOSITION OF THE CIRCULAR OF THE DISSOLVING OF THE COMPRESSION OF THE SEAM ON THE INTERNAL ORIFICE OF THE CERVIX OF THE UTERUS

Comparison of menstrual and reproductive function of women after conservative myomectomy with the imposition of the circular of the dissolving of the compression of the seam on the inner throat. In the main group study included 29 patients after surgical intervention in the volume of conservative myomectomy with the imposition of thecircular of the dissolving of the compression of the seam on the inner throat. The control group consisted of 20 patients after standard myomectomy laparotomy access. The study demonstrated the feasibility of imposing circular of the dissolving of the compression of the seam on the inner throat to reduce intraoperative blood loss. The use of the technique has no significant impact on the early and late postoperative periods, the timing of rehabilitation, recovery time compared with the standard myomectomy
