The presence of large vegetations (>8 mm) (p = 0.019) and increased age (p = 0.037)-but not operative timing-were identified as independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality. In the presence of large vegetations (>8 mm), cardiac surgery should be performed early and independently from the entity of cerebral embolic stroke. Postponing surgery to achieve clinical stabilization and better postoperative outcomes of IE patients with CE is reasonable, however, worsening of the disease process with deterioration and resulting heart failure during the first 3 weeks after CE results in a significantly higher in-hospital mortality and inferior long-term survival.Natural biopolymers are an interesting resource for edible films production, as they are environmentally friendly packaging materials. The possibilities of the application of main animal proteins and natural polysaccharides are considered in the review, including the sources, structure, and limitations of usage. The main ways for overcoming the limitations caused by the physico-chemical properties of biopolymers are also discussed, including composites approaches, plasticizers, and the addition of crosslinking agents. Approaches for the production of biopolymer-based films and coatings are classified according to wet and dried processes and considered depending on biopolymer types. The methods for mechanical, physico-chemical, hydration, and uniformity estimation of edible films are reviewed.Food fraud is a growing problem and happens in many ways including mislabelling. Since lack of consumers' knowledge about mandatory food labeling information and
