: Anthracyclines remain a pivotal element of numerous tumor management regimens; however, their utilization is associated with a range of adverse effects, the most significant of which is cardiotoxicity. Research is constantly being conducted to identify substances that could be incorporated into ongoing cancer chemotherapy to mitigate anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Recently, the apelinergic system has received a lot of attention in this field due to its involvement in cardiovascular regulation.

Gonadotroph neuroendocrine pituitary tumors are among the most common intracranial neoplasms. A notable proportion of these tumors is characterized by invasive growth which hampers the treatment results and worsens prognoses of patients. Increased hsa-miR-184 expression was observed in invasive as compared to non-invasive gonadotroph tumors.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an important drug used in the treatment of many malignancies. Unfortunately DOX causes various side effects, with cardiotoxicity being the most characteristic. Risk factors for DOX induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) include cumulative dose of DOX, preexisting cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, along with the use of other cardiotoxic agents.

Article Synopsis
  • The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is essential for regulating cardiovascular health and is a target for various therapeutic drugs, especially in managing diseases like hypertension and heart failure.
  • Dysregulation of RAAS has drawn attention in cancer treatment due to its impact on tumor biology and cardiovascular toxicities from oncological therapies.
  • RAAS inhibitors (RAASi) could serve as supportive treatments that help mitigate cardiovascular risks and improve outcomes in cancer patients undergoing therapies that can lead to cardiovascular complications.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental disease that affects approximately 2% of the population. Obsessions and compulsions are troublesome for patients and may disturb their everyday activities. The pathogenesis of this disease is still not fully elucidated, but dysfunctions of serotonin-, dopamine- and glutamate-mediated neurotransmission together with early maladaptive schemas seem of importance.
