The present study examined the radical scavenging potential of the two benzene derivatives found in the bay laurel essential oil (EO), namely methyl eugenol (MEug) and eugenol (Eug), theoretically and experimentally to make suggestions on their contribution to the EO preservative activity through such a mechanism. Calculation of appropriate molecular indices widely used to characterize chain-breaking antioxidants was carried out in the gas and liquid phases (-hexane, -octanol, methanol, water). Experimental evidence was based on the DPPH scavenging assay applied to pure compounds and a set of bay laurel EOs chemically characterized with GC-MS/FID. Theoretical calculations suggested that the preservative properties of both compounds could be exerted through a radical scavenging mechanism via hydrogen atom donation. Eug was predicted to be of superior efficiency in line with experimental findings. Pearson correlation and partial least square regression analyses of the EO antioxidant activity values vs. % composition of individual volatiles indicated the positive contribution of both compounds to the radical scavenging activity of bay laurel EOs. Eug, despite its low content in bay laurel EOs, was found to influence the most the radical scavenging activity of the latter.

An Integrated Pathophysiological and Clinical Perspective of the Synergistic Effects of Obesity, Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia on Cardiovascular Health: A Systematic Review.

This review paper explores the synergistic effects of obesity, hypertension (HTN), and hyperlipidemia on cardiovascular health by integrating pathophysiological and clinical perspectives. Obesity, characterized by excessive body fat, HTN, defined by elevated blood pressure, and hyperlipidemia, indicated by high blood lipid levels, are globally prevalent conditions that significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The interplay between these conditions exacerbates cardiovascular risk through mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, and atherogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- Bay laurel, a significant Mediterranean tree native to Italy, is experiencing severe damage from stem blight and internal necrosis connected to ambrosia beetle infestations in Sicily since 2021.
- Research identified a new fungal species responsible for these issues and confirmed its pathogenicity through tests on potted bay laurel plants.
- This finding marks the first report of a new pathogen linked to the invasive ambrosia beetle affecting bay laurel, adding to the understanding of plant diseases in the region.

Malan syndrome is a rare overgrowth syndrome resulting from haploinsufficiency due to heterozygous loss-of-function mutations or microdeletions of on chromosome 19 at p13.2. Phenotypic presentation can vary but is characterized by macrocephaly, long and slender body habitus, skeletal abnormalities, and intellectual disability.
