Angioedema involves fluid accumulation into the interstitial spaces of the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and mucosal surfaces. While usually benign and self-limited, angioedema can lead to laryngeal edema, a life-threatening condition. The most common causes are histamine-mediated allergic reactions. However, angioedema can also be mediated by bradykinin. Bradykinin-mediated angioedema can occur in the setting of hereditary deficiency of C1q esterase and after exposure to several medications. Drug-induced angioedema is most commonly a secondary complication of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or sulfa drug use. All providers must be aware of the potential side effects of the medications they use or prescribe. We present a case of angioedema resulting from the use of technetium-99m sestamibi tracer injection during an adenosine nuclear stress test.

Neuron-derived clone 77 (Nur77), a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family, is expressed and activated rapidly in response to diverse physiological and pathological stimuli. It exerts complex biological functions, including roles in the nervous system, genome integrity, cell differentiation, homeostasis, oxidative stress, autophagy, aging, and infection. Recent studies suggest that Nur77 agonists alleviate symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in such conditions.

Honey bees extract sticky material from the exudates of different plants which transform afterwards to propolis. Propolis from several global locations has been shown to contain a wide variety of polyphenolic chemicals. Recent studies have revealed that propolis possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory abilities.

Medicinal plants and natural compounds have been considered alternative therapeutic options for counteracting postmenopausal disorders thanks to their different concomitant effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and the regulation of hormone activity. It is important to highlight that the efficacy of medicinal plants and natural compounds increases when used in combination, thus making the development of herbal formulations rational. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of an innovative formulation consisting of resveratrol and water extracts from , , , and .

Epigenetic modulation plays a crucial role in neuroprotection by regulating cellular responses to stress, inflammation, and oxidative damage, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. Recognizing the therapeutic potential of epigenetic regulators, this study investigated the synergistic neuroprotective effects of curcumin-enriched turmeric extract combined with L-ascorbic acid, focusing on its modulation of epigenetic pathways in oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage. SH-SY5Y neuronal cells were treated with the combination at 20 and 40 µg/mL, and subsequently exposed to 200 µM hydrogen peroxide (HO) to induce oxidative stress.
