The aim of the study was to examine the aggressive behavior of rats after lithium hydroxybutyrate injections (10 mg/kg once a day, at 9 a.m or 7 p.m., for a week). It was found that the drug did not affect the aggressive behavior of isolated rats towards mice placed to them. However, in the evening the drug inhibited aggressive manifestations (attacks, bites) in rats with raphe midbrain lesions. The 5-hydroxytryptophan (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, once) augmented the antiaggressive properties of lithium hydroxybutyrate in the evening but weakened them in the morning.

Many children on the autism spectrum engage in challenging behaviors, like aggression, due to difficulties communicating and regulating their stress. Identifying effective intervention strategies is often subjective and time-consuming. Utilizing unobservable internal physiological data to predict strategy effectiveness may help simplify this process for teachers and parents.

Bone transplantation ranks second worldwide among tissue prosthesis surgeries. Currently, one of the most promising approaches is regenerative medicine, which involves tissue engineering based on polymer scaffolds with biodegradable properties. Once implanted, scaffolds interact directly with the surrounding tissues and in a fairly aggressive environment, which causes biodegradation of the scaffold material.

The corrosion resistance of a CrC-25(Ni20Cr) cermet coating applied to an Al7075 substrate (CrC-25(Ni20Cr)/Al7075) was investigated. The coating was produced using a cold spraying (CS) method. The main aim of the research was to determine the effect of heat treatment on the properties of cermet coatings on the Al7075 substrate.

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), a rare neuroendocrine tumor comprising 3-5% of thyroid cancers, arises from calcitonin-producing parafollicular C cells. Despite aggressive behavior, surgery remains the primary curative treatment, with limited efficacy reported for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Recent efforts have explored the pathogenetic mechanisms of MTC, identifying it as a highly vascularized neoplasm overexpressing pro-angiogenic factors.
