Two different studies of the thermal aging of polyesters based on lactic and glycolic acidswere compared. Thermal degradation of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(L-lactic acid-co-glycolicacid) (PLLGA) and poly(DL-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PDLGA) was studied by the dielectricthermal analysis (DETA). The aging was performed at 37C in vacuum ove...

Food allergy is a reaction of the body immune system to the presence of the proteins in the body introduced through food. Allergic reactions can affect the skin (hives), gastrointestinal organs (nausea, cramps, diarrhea), respiratory system (attenuation) and circulation (drop in blood pressure). In extreme cases, anaphylaxis can occur.. In this cas...
