Article Synopsis
- Pomegranate is rich in nutrients, including organic acids, vitamins, and bioactive compounds like polyphenols, which confer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- The fruit is associated with potential therapeutic benefits, particularly in combatting age-related issues like "inflammaging," but current research mainly focuses on neurodegenerative and skin diseases.
- Future studies are needed, particularly human trials, to validate its effectiveness and explore pomegranate extracts as complementary therapies for chronic conditions and skin disorders.
Aims: A higher risk of cancer among patients with heart failure (HF) has been suggested in recent community-based studies. This study aimed to investigate the impact of HF during hospitalization with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) on the long-term cancer risk.
Methods And Results: The study included 572 patients admitted with ACS to three Italian hospitals, discharged cancer-free, and prospectively followed for 24 years or until death.
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a compound that is derived from the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It has been used as a biomarker to measure oxidative stress in various biological samples in patients who are affected by a wide range of diseases. The aim of our work is to provide an updated overview of the role of MDA as a marker of oxidative stress in allergy-related diseases.

Nasal polyp recurrence rates, defined as the number of patients undergoing revision endoscopic sinus surgery, are 20% within a 5 year period after surgery. The cornerstone of CRSwNP management consists of anti-inflammatory treatment with local corticosteroids.

Methods: To evaluate the very long-term association between Microalbuminuria and the overall mortality and causes of death in this clinical setting, we prospectively studied 579 unselected ACS patients admitted to three hospitals. The baseline albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) was measured on days 1, 3, and 7 in 24-h urine samples.
