Background: Adolescent girls with diagnoses of autism, ADHD and/or developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are at higher risk for mental health problems than boys with the same diagnoses and neurotypical girls. These girls are called neurodivergent here, though neurodivergence includes a broader range of diagnoses. One possible reason for this mental health disparity could be camouflaging, a coping strategy used more by girls.

- Excessive body odours can lead to bromhidrosis, negatively impacting a person's life quality, with C-S lyase being a key enzyme in producing these odours from skin precursors.
- A study involving 24 volunteers assessed axillary odour intensity after cycling, noting significant differences in odour between non-odorous and malodorous groups, linked to variations in skin bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus hominis.
- The results indicated that S. hominis was more abundant and had higher C-S lyase activity in the malodorous group, suggesting its crucial role in generating unpleasant body odours.
Social adversity in adolescence is prevalent and can negatively impact mental health trajectories. Modeling social stress in adolescent male and female rodents is needed to understand its effects on ongoing brain development and behavioral outcomes. The chronic social defeat stress paradigm (CSDS) has been widely used to model social stress in adult C57BL/6 male mice by leveraging on the aggressive behavior displayed by an adult male rodent to an intruder invading its territory.

The current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare outcomes for OWWE and offspring of women without epilepsy (OWWoE).
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Background: Adolescence is a unique period of psychosocial growth during which social adversity can negatively influence mental health trajectories. Understanding how adolescent social stress impacts males and females and why some individuals are particularly affected is becoming increasingly urgent. Social defeat stress models for adolescent male mice have been effective in reproducing some physical/psychological aspects of bullying.
