Currently, common treatment approaches for neoplastic diseases include surgery, radiation, and/or anticancer drugs (chemotherapy, hormone medications, and targeted therapies). In particular, anticancer medicines destroy cancerous cells by blocking certain pathways that aid in the disease's initiation and progression. These pharmaceutical drugs' capacity to inhibit malignant cells has made them indispensable in the treatment of neoplastic disorders.

Altrenogest is a key regulatory hormone for intensive and batch management of reserve sows in breeding farms. As a synthetic hormone, altrenogest could make ovaries stay at the initial stage of follicles and inhibit estrus and ovulation in animals. However, the currently used oral altrenogest solution needs to be administered continuously every day for more than two weeks in clinical practice.

The etiology of diffuse gingival enlargement is multifactorial, and the definitive diagnosis may be challenging. To highlight the nuances of the differential diagnosis, we present two cases of generalized gingival overgrowth and discuss the diagnostic dilemmas. In the first case, an 82-year-old male with a medical history of hypertension and prostatitis had a chief complaint of symptomatic oral lesions of a 20-day duration, accompanied by fever and loss of appetite.

Androgen secretion by testicular germ-cell tumors (GCTs) appears to be markedly rare and likely underreported in the literature. This case study highlights a patient with such a rare tumor, underscoring a notable and yet easily avoidable diagnostic oversight in one of the most prevalent cancers among men. We advocate for increased vigilance and the inclusion of specific symptomatic screening for hyperandrogenism of select patients in existing guidelines and, where appropriate, the implementation of standardized hormonal laboratory analyses in both pre- and post-orchidectomy assessments.

Adversities associated with isolation during adolescence, including the lack of appropriate emotional and social experiences, can jeopardize the individual development leading to the onset of mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder. Girls have higher rates of depression compared to boys; however, the relative contribution of biological and cultural factors to such a gender-dependent difference remains unclear. To identify the role of biological factors in this distinct susceptibility, we exposed adolescent C57BL/6 male and female mice (n = 12-14) to social isolation and we evaluated their behavioral responses, investigating both emotional and cognitive competencies during adolescence.
