Article Synopsis
- The rapid growth of medical apps has changed how health care is delivered, allowing easy access to personalized health data for patients and providers, but effectiveness and safety concerns have emerged, challenging the reliance on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for evaluation and regulation.
- This study explores alternative evaluation methods beyond RCTs for medical apps by analyzing insights from a focus group of public health experts and assessing current regulations in Italy, Germany, Canada, and Australia.
- Findings highlight the limitations of RCTs in evaluating digital health interventions and suggest that there are potentially more effective approaches for ensuring the quality and safety of medical apps.
In male cats, as in men, mammary carcinomas are rarely reported. However, like in females, hormonal therapy is a significant risk factor. This study reports the case of an 11-year-old male cat with multiple mammary tumours and a history of long-term medroxyprogesterone acetate therapy for the suppression of sexual behaviour, along with a brief review of the literature.

During the gross examination, the ovaries were pale, grayish, and enlarged (6 × 5 cm), with a well-developed vascular structure surrounding the external surface; the cut surface of the ovaries showed a brownish parenchyma with white follicular areas mainly localized in the peripheral region. The ovaries were fixed for histological investigations.

- Koi carp can develop neoplasia, including seminomas, which are tumors of the testes, despite being uncommon.
- A case study involved a koi carp with coelomic swelling, leading to surgical intervention that revealed enlarged testes.
- The seminoma diagnosis was based on cellular examination, indicating that cytology could be a valuable, cost-effective tool for early diagnosis of such tumors in veterinary clinics.
Cutaneous and subcutaneous mast cell tumors (MCTs) are common canine neoplasms characterized by variable biological behavior. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can be effective prognostic markers in numerous human neoplasms and are increasingly investigated in dogs. The aim of this study was to characterize immune cells in canine MCTs and their relationship with histological location (cutaneous, subcutaneous) and histologic nodal metastatic status (HN0-3).
