Leaves of Olea europaea, cultivar Nocellara del Belice, were examined with respect to the medium-polar fraction, obtained by an ethyl acetate extraction of the whole extract. In the medium polar fraction, we isolated the two hydroxy-phenyl-ethyl alcohols (hydroxyl-tyrosol and tyrosol) that are the main component of olives. In addition, we isolated a flavonoidic compound, aromadendrine, a dihydroflavonol yet known but quite rare in nature. It is the first time that aromadendrine is isolated in O. europaea and we studied the aromadendrine biological activity. In particular, the ability of aromadendrine to reduce the inflammation induced in normal keratinocytes using an in vitro cell model was evaluated. The results of the present research indicate aromadendrine as a novel component in O. europaea with effective activity against skin inflammation.

Introduction: Olive leaf has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, potentially modulating gut microbiota composition. This may help address small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a gastrointestinal (GI) problem causing malabsorption and potential complications.
Objective: This study aimed to observe the effect of olive leaf tea (OLT) on GI symptoms, body composition, and the hydrogen/methane breath test among patients suffering from SIBO.

Enriching the diets of sterile fruit flies with bacterial species prior to their release has been shown to improve their survival and sexual competitiveness. However, most of the bacteria associated with fruit flies are enterobacteria, and some species have been classified as opportunistic pathogens. On the other hand, in diets that include hydrolyzed yeast, the effect of bacteria has been counterproductive, which could be due to the protein content in the diet being too high.

Background: Fertilization of plants with selenium (Se) can enhance their resistance to abiotic stresses and improve human health and nutrition. However, Se fertilization in olive trees remains underexplored. This study evaluated the effect of foliar sodium selenite fertilization on leaf Se content, oxidative stress, olive tree productivity, biofortification of extra virgin olive oils (EVOO), and their physicochemical and antioxidant attributes in two mature 'Arbequina' olive orchards.

This study investigates the phenolic and fatty acid profiles of olives from four cultivars (Arbequina, Arbosana, Frantene, and Koroneiki), widely grown in the Mediterranean region and collected at different ripening stages in Italy. The aim was to assess the potential of olive chemical profiles as markers for cultivar classification using machine learning algorithms, including Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Results showed that phenolic profiling achieved significantly higher classification accuracy than fatty acids across all models.

Importance: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is associated with limited survival and few treatment options. Photon involved-field radiotherapy (IFRT) is the most common radiotherapy treatment for patients with LM from solid tumors.
Objective: To assess whether proton craniospinal irradiation (pCSI) would result in superior central nervous system progression-free survival (CNS-PFS) compared with IFRT.
