The extraction of polyphenols from myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) fruits using a conventional solid-liquid extraction was optimized using a single-factor experiment approach. The influence of several parameters such as type of solvent (50% acetone, 50% methanol, 50% ethanol, and water), solvent concentration (30-100%; v/v), solvent acidity (0-0,1 N), temperature (20°C-40°C) and time (30-360 min) on the yield extraction of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total proanthocyanidin content (TPAC), and on the antioxidant activity: DPPH-radical scavenging activity (DPPH-RSA), ABTS-radical scavenging activity (ABTS-RSA) and ferric reducing power (FRP) was studied.

- Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a new method for delivering chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity to enhance treatment effectiveness for peritoneal cancers.
- It has shown promising results for patients with various types of peritoneal malignancies, offering a better alternative than just palliative care.
- Ongoing clinical trials are expected to provide further insights into the real advantages of PIPAC in cancer treatment.
The 2022 PSOGI (Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International) and RENAPE (French Network for Rare Peritoneal Malignancies) consensus on hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was a comprehensive effort aimed at standardizing treatment protocols for various peritoneal malignancies. This initiative is critical due to the wide range of technical variations in HIPEC procedures and the resulting need for standardization to ensure consistent and effective patient care and meaningful audit of multicenter data.

PIPAC uses a hyaluronic acid-based gel to reduce surgically induced adhesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the hyaluronic acid-based gel on tumor dissemination.

- - Mother's milk has diverse bacterial communities, and this study investigates how these bacteria affect the gut microbiota of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants during hospitalization, analyzing 94 mother-infant pairs and 422 milk-stool samples.
- - Approximately 30%-40% of the bacterial types found in the infants' guts are also present in the mother's milk, showing a direct link between milk consumption and gut microbiota development in VLBW infants, influenced by feeding practices and antibiotic use.
- - The findings suggest that the microbiota in mother's milk plays a significant role in shaping the gut bacteria of VLBW infants, indicating that specific milk bacteria and their interactions are important for gut colonization.
