Bile Duct Obstruction
Biliary atresia is a rare but serious condition that affects the liver and bile duct system in infants. The condition shows symptoms within a few weeks after birth, and if not recognized in time, it can be fatal.

Diet for Patients on Anticoagulant Medication
The spread of anticoagulant treatments is one of the remarkable achievements of modern medicine, providing those suffering from thromboembolic diseases, living with artificial valves, and diagnosed with atrial fibrillation the opportunity for a safer lifestyle. However, the use of these medications is not limited to pharmacological therapy; it also significantly impacts patients’ nutrition. To achieve optimal effects from anticoagulants, it is essential for patients to pay attention to their vitamin K intake.
