Quilting Sutures and Suction Drains in Preventing Postoperative Complications in Gynecomastia Surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Gynecomastia is characterized by enlarged breast tissue in men and is often caused by genetic or endocrinological disorders, cancer, or medication use, with idiopathic causes being the most common. If no clinically treatable cause is identified and the condition persists for more than two years, surgical treatment is indicated. This typically involves adenectomy with or without lipos...

Optimization of process conditions and kinetic microbial growth for milk fermentation using domestic kefir grains from Costa Rica.

Kefir, a fermented milk product, differs from yogurt due to its unique microbial composition, offering a broad spectrum of health benefits. Given its global popularity and high cost, there is a significant trend towards domestic kefir production. This study explores the optimization of kefir fermentation using Costa Rican domestic kefir grains, assessing the effects of temperature, agitation, and ...
