The pro- or antitumoral properties of nitric oxide (NO) are dependent on local concentration, redox state, cellular status, duration of exposure and compartmentalization of NO generation. The intricate network of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is constituted by tumor cells, stromal and immune cells surrounded by active components of extracellular matrix that influence the biological behavior and, consequently, the treatment and prognosis of cancer. The review describes critical events in the crosstalk of cellular and stromal components in the TME, with special emphasis in the impact of NO generation in the regulation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Lenvatinib and Cabozantinib have shown non-inferior antitumoral activities compared with the corresponding recommended therapies. The clinical trials have established recommended doses for each treatment that lead different blood concentrations in patients for Sorafenib (10 µM), Regorafenib (1 µM), Lenvatinib (0.

The aim of this study was to examine the cognitive correlates of ADHD in highly intelligent children and adolescents with ADHD.
Method: Two independent samples (N = 204 and N = 84) of (1) high intelligence quotient (IQ) (IQ ≥ 120) children and adolescents with ADHD were used, carefully matched on age, gender, ADHD severity, and IQ with (2) control participants with high intelligence, (3) participants with ADHD with an average intelligence (IQ 90-110), and (4) control participants with an average intelligence.
