The extraction of bioactive compounds from cacti using green methods holds promise as an area of research that remains relatively underexplored. This review aims to summarize findings and trends in this field, assessing the effectiveness of green techniques applied to these unique plants. Among the green methods, Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) stands out as the most extensively studied, consistently yielding a higher extraction of compounds irrespective of the duration and solvents employed.

Introduction: The long-term efficacy of renal denervation (RDN) has not been extensively documented.
Aim: To describe the long-term follow-up of patients after RDN.
Methods: We evaluated patients with resistant hypertension (RH) who underwent RDN with irrigated catheter from 2012 to 2014 at a single centre.
Article Synopsis
- Previous research indicates that being overweight or obese can disrupt brain function during critical developmental phases, but more studies are needed on how immediate overnutrition affects serotonin in the brain.
- This study investigates how altering serotonin levels with fluoxetine treatment in overnourished rats impacts oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in their brainstem and hypothalamus.
- Findings suggest that overnutrition in early life leads to harmful changes in brain chemistry, but fluoxetine treatment can counteract some of these negative effects, supporting healthier brain development.
A new temporin with antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity from the skin secretion of Lithobates palmipes (Spix, 1824) (Amphibia: Ranidae) from Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

This work investigated the peptide profile of skin secretion from Lithobates palmipes collected from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The secretion was submitted to reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and the fractions were screened for antibacterial activity. RP-HPLC resulted in the separation of several peaks, among which 10 showed antibacterial activity and contained peptides of the ranatuerin, brevinin and temporin families.
