Red-fleshed apple cultivars with an enhanced content of polyphenolic compounds have attracted increasing interest due to their promising health benefits. Here, we have analysed the polyphenolic content of young, red-fleshed apples (RFA) and optimised extraction conditions of phenolics by utilising natural deep eutectic solvents (NDES). We also compare the antioxidant, neuroprotective and antimicrobial activities of NDES- and methanol-extracted phenolics from young RFA. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) was used for phenolics identification and quantification. Besides young RFA, ripe red-fleshed, young and ripe white-fleshed apples were analysed, revealing that young RFA possess the highest phenolic content (2078.4 ± 4.0 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g), and that ripe white-fleshed apples contain the least amount of phenolics (545.0 ± 32.0 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g). The NDES choline chloride-glycerol containing 40 % w/w HO gave similar yields at 40 °C as methanol. In addition, the polyphenolics profile, and bioactivities of the NDES extract from young RFA were comparable that of methanol extracts. Altogether, our data show that NDES extracts of young RFA are a promising source of bioactive polyphenolics with potential applications in diverse sectors, e.g., for functional food production, smart material engineering and natural therapies.

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign intra-osseous lesion. The lesion is painful and usually diagnosed by x-ray, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When the lesion is juxta-articular or intra-capsular, the symptoms may present differently than the typical OO lesion and make diagnosis more challenging.

Objective: To evaluate whether ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is reliable for unifocal T1aN0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma in the isthmus (PTCI).

Methods: 431 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided RFA for unifocal T1aN0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) were divided by location of the lesion into the PTCI group (52 females, 7 males, mean age 43.79 ± 12.

Background: Children with end-stage solid tumors would benefit from established nonsurgical options for palliative site-directed local control with the intent of improving quality of life (QOL) and extending survival. We investigated the practice and tolerability of palliative ablation strategies in patients with pediatric solid tumors.

Methods: Children and young adults with solid tumors ineligible for surgical site-directed control were treated with palliative ablative strategies between 2010 and 2020 at five institutions participating in the Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative.

Article Synopsis
  • Tumor stiffness is being recognized as a new diagnostic parameter, separate from traditional pathological assessments.
  • Researchers developed a laser resonance frequency analysis (L-RFA) method that measures stiffness differences between tumor and normal tissues, making it an effective tool for diagnosing gastric cancer.
  • Tests showed clear correlations in stiffness measurements, indicating that L-RFA can distinguish between tumor and normal tissue with significant accuracy, highlighting its potential as a noninvasive diagnostic approach.
