In recent years, the increase in consumer interest towards simpler and authentic lifestyles has led to an explosive growth in the production and business of typical agri-food products and, among these, of wines and its derived beverages. With the aim of promoting a typical Italian beverage, the so-called "Vino di visciole" or "Visner", listed in the national table of traditional agri-food products, the antioxidant and colour properties of fifteen samples from different provinces of the Marche region and obtained with different recipes were analysed. The "in vitro" total antioxidant activity (TAA) determined using ABTS assays, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total anthocyanins content (TAC), and colour (Somers assay) were measured.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of buccal mucosa grafts (BMG) for surgical treatment of Peyronie's Disease (PD), emphasizing their effectiveness in reducing complications and promoting recovery.
  • Conducted over six years, the research involved 27 patients who had significant curvature issues and were unresponsive to other treatments, with follow-up assessments including ultrasound and erectile function questionnaires.
  • Results showed that BMG led to quick restoration of spontaneous erections and minimized the risk of erectile dysfunction, highlighting its role in successful surgical outcomes for PD.

Isofuranodiene is an oxygenated sesquiterpene containing a furan ring isolated from the essential oil of Smyrnium olusatrum L. (Apiaceae) owning notable anticancer activity. Despite its biological potential, the high lipophilicity along with a relatively low stability due to Cope rearrangement giving rise to a less active compound, make the perspective of its therapeutical use unlikely.
