Crystal engineering has recently emerged as a method of choice for the design and construction of organic as well as metal-organic functional materials. Crystal engineering attempts to establish packing trends in whole families of compounds and seeks to establish connections between structure and function. The utility of crystal engineering has also been expanded to the nanoscience and the deve...

the diagnosis of functional constipation (fc) is usually straightforward. almost 95% of childhood constipation is functional in nature. the remaining 5% can be attributed to wide variety of conditions. many of these etiologies are obvious by history and examination and many have other specific symptoms besides constipation. it is especially important to look for presence of any symptoms or sign...

We discuss the results of selected projects where we estimate the strength of aromatic stabilization with the help of the Energy Decomposition Analysis within the Density Functional Theory framework. The paper introduces a new methodology to quantify the relative strength of aromaticity in aromatic and antiaromatic organic compounds. The approach is also useful for the study of homo(anti)aromat...

A review of recent literature pertaining to organic and functional food was conducted according its conceptual background. Functional and organic food both belong to fast growing segments of the European food market. Both are food according to the European food regulations, but organic food is further regulated by the European regulation for organic agriculture and food production. This regulat...

BACKGROUND Hypersensitivity of gastric afferent pathways may play an aetiological role in symptoms of functional dyspepsia. AIMS To determine whether patients with severe organic dyspepsia (associated with tissue irritation/injury) and those with functional dyspepsia (no detectable tissue irritation) differ in their perception of gastric distension and whether this difference is reflected in ...
