Abstract Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Sex influences cancer in a bewildering variety of ways. In some cancer types it affects prevalence, in others genomic profiles, or response to treatment, or mortality. In some sex seems to have little or no influence. How and when sex influences cancer initiation and progression remain a critical gap in our understanding of cancer, with direct relevance to precision medicine. Here, we note several factors that complicate our understanding of sex differences: representativeness of large cohorts, confounding with features like ancestry, age and obesity, and variability in clinical presentation. We summarize the key resources available to study molecular sex differences, and suggest some likely directions for improving our understanding of how patient sex influences cancer behaviour.

Abstract Background/Introduction Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) are not synonymous with obstructive flow-limiting coronary artery disease (CAD), especially in women. Platelet dysfunction is suggested as a potential mechanism favouring ischemia in non-obstructive CAD. However, it is unknown whether sex differences in platelet function of patients with non-obstructive CAD exist. Purpose We assessed for sex differences in in-vivo markers of platelet activation among patients with the acute coronary syndrome and chronic stable angina, with or without obstructive CAD Methods From the “Endocrine Vascular disease Approach” (EVA) study, we selected IHD patients undergoing urgent or elective coronary angiography with complete baseline clinical characteristics and angiographic data. Non-obstructive CAD was defined as the presence of coronary stenosis <50%. Thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and soluble P-selectin (sP-s) were measured at baseline. A sex-stratified analysis of platelet biomarkers was performed. Results Among two-hundred-seventy-seven patients (mean age 67±11, 37% women), non-obstructive CAD was documented in 25% of patients. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was the reason for angiography in 61% of cases. Women had more frequently ACS, as compared with men (54.8% vs 41.3%, p=0.001), with predominantly non-obstructive CAD. Median serum TxB2 (121.5 [92.7–174.0] vs 103.5 [83.0–140.2] pg/ml, p=0.005) and plasma sP-s (27.0 [18.7–35.0] vs 22.0 [16.0–30.0] ng/ml, p=0.006) levels were higher in patients with ACS as compared with the ones with stable chronic angina. The median concentration of TxB2 was significantly increased in women as compared with men, regardless of the clinical presentation and the coronary stenosis degree (all comparison, p<0.001). However, women with non-obstructive CAD were the group with the highest serum levels of TxB2 (140.0 [111.0–152.0] pg/ml). Sex differences in the plasma sP-s level were also observed among patients with stable chronic angina (women, 26 [20.0–34.0] vs men, 21 [16.6–27.7] ng/ml, p=0.002) and with non-obstructive CAD (women, 26 [20.5–34.5] vs men, 18.5 [16.6–26.0] ng/ml, p=0.003). Conclusion(s) Women with IHD and non-obstructive CAD had increased level of TxB2 and sP-s as compared with men, independently by the clinical presentation. Further investigations are warranted to verify the role of platelet hyperactivation in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease among women.

Sex appears to modulate the risk, clinical presentation, and course of schizophrenia as well as other psychotic disorders. Sex differences in neuroendocrine and/or genetic factors may contribute to these sex differences as well as in social/emotional and cognitive functioning. The goal of this chapter is to better understand these sex differences through the exploration of hormonal contributions to this brain disorder. We specifically focus on sex steroid hormones (e.g., estrogen) as well as sexually dimorphic neurohormones—oxytocin and vasopressin.

Background.Previous studies have reported sex differences in the clinical presentation and outcome of adult patients with schizophrenia; the aim of present study was to compare the clinical characteristics, social functioning, adherence to treatment, and cognition of adolescents with this diagnosis in a six-month followup.Methods.A total of 87 adolescents with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder were evaluated with the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS), the Matrics Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), and the Rating of Medication Influences (ROMI).Results.Both groups showed a similar improvement in all PANSS factors and in the PSP scores during the followup. Males better adhered to treatment. Females displayed better results in the area of social cognition (F=6.3, df = 2,52, andp=0.003) and attention/vigilance (F=8.3, df = 2,51, andp=0.001).Conclusions.Male and female adolescents showed similar clinical presentation and functioning but a different pattern of cognitive improvement and adherence to treatment.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most-common psychiatric disorders; it is highly comorbid with many other psychiatric disorders and associated with substantial role impairment. Untreated ADHD results in psychiatric comorbidity, relationship and parenting problems, underachievement, frequent job losses, and opportunistic delinquency. Nevertheless, ADHD remains the most under-recognised and undertreated mental health condition in adults. This article discusses the clinical presentation of ADHD in adulthood with a particular focus on recognition, assessment and management of ADHD in adults in primary care.
