Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by a benign proliferation of the glandular component of the male breast. It is thought to be due to an increase in the ratio of estrogen to androgen activity. The present article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical features, and contemporary treatment of gynecomastia.

Background: Self-care is a priority outcome for children and young people with neurodisabilities, their parents and therapists, but there is little evidence about paediatric therapy interventions for children's self-care in the United Kingdom.
Methods: Children with neurodisabilities, parents, therapists and teachers participated in this mixed methods study. Data were collected by interviews and observations of routine therapy appointments.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer (HNC). Despite the medical advances in cancer therapy, OM is still virtually inevitable in patients being irradiated for neoplasms of the head and neck. The initial signs of oral mucositis typically manifest after cumulative doses between 15 and 20 Gy, with ulceration formation by 30 Gy and reaching peak severity in the week after radiation treatment completion (generally 60-72 Gy in management of HNC), then resolving over the 3-4 weeks following treatment completion.

Reirradiation of the head and neck presents one of the most complex and challenging scenarios faced by (for) clinicians due to the narrow therapeutic window. Its use is increasing in clinical practice, often guided by empirical and pragmatic approaches due to the limited availability of high-level evidence from randomized clinical trials. Successful reirradiation requires a precise balance between tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP).
